Full course description
The
purpose of this course is to provide a framework for building the
collaborative relationship and expertise of Support Facilitation
Teachers and their partner General Education teacher(s), in their
collaborative role of assisting students in successfully meeting the
expectations of access, involvement with and progress in standards-based
learning. This course uses the Support Facilitation Matrix as a
professional development framework for building teacher expertise in the
implementation of the Support Facilitation service delivery model for
serving students with disabilities. Optimally, participation in this
course will include the participation and collaboration of the support
facilitation teacher and their general education partner(s), and be the
first step toward increased effectiveness in supporting students with
disabilities in inclusive settings. A special emphasis is placed upon
(1) the development of collaborative partnerships, and (2) the
incorporation of the principles of Universal Design for Learning in
instructional planning and delivery, as a foundation for providing
effective individualized support for all students, including students
with IEPs, 504 Plans and students who may need support in the general
education classroom due to the gap between their current ability and the
demands of the learning environment.
