Individually, candidates will research a pedagogical approach (curriculum & instruction) to instruction giving special attention to its appropriateness for children/youth with moderate to severe disabilities as determined through a review of the research literature. Prepare a critique to be presented and distributed to class members. You should state clearly the characteristics of children/youth that might benefit from the model or curriculum as discussed in literature. You should also state how the approach might be adapted or modified to be effective with the children/youth at your field site and used to support students of varying abilities who are English learners. Consider how to differentiate instruction based upon your students’ primary language and proficiency levels in English, the students’ culture, level of acculturation, and prior schooling using this model. Reflect on whether this model or strategies support including students with disabilities in inclusive environments, providing scaffolding, modeling, and support while maintaining access to core academic content and providing opportunities for language development. Be certain that you can back up your opinions with current citations from research literature. This critique is to be 4- 5 pages.
The goal is to inform and expand the breadth and range of effective pedagogy for our class. Use either Community Based Instruction pedagogy or Co-Teaching pedagogy!
