TEP-5650: Adaptation Pedagogy

In light of recent education policy changes that focus on rigorous and structured instructional practices that may exclude the specific needs of individual students, particularly of ELL and special needs students, it is more vital than ever to design curricula that allow appropriate and supportive access to the content for all students. Creating a flexible yet robust curriculum requires a novel perspective on teaching and learning that is referred to as Adaptation Pedagogy.This course is designed to parallel the fieldwork course (TEP 533) and will allow candidates to explore with increasing depth diverse methods for learning about specific student needs, for looking at the students’ longitudinal academic development, for designing and implementing appropriate intervention strategies for students of need, and for exploring the candidate’s implied and stated beliefs, attitudes, and expectations related to teaching in diverse communities. Topics will include ethnicity, race, socio-economic, cultural, academic, and linguistic or family backgrounds; gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation; students with disabilities and advanced learners; and students with a combination of special instructional needs.
