SPED 2050 - Introduction to Special Education with Field Observation

Credit Hours: 3

The Special Education Field Experience I is a course taken by candidates majoring in Special Education. Candidates spend 45 hours in a school setting to gain experience with students with disabilities. This will be a collaborative experience between the candidate, the university supervisor, and the collaborating teacher. The collaborating teaching will be certified in special education and have at least two years experience teaching students with disabilities. While fully immersed in the school-based setting, the candidate will observe a variety of special education placements during the semester. The observations will focus on instructional techniques, assessments, and classroom management related to each student’s IEP and identified disability.
