Exceptional education students are required to complete a supervised practicum in a preK12 classroom that serves the needs of students with exceptionality and who are ELLs. This practicum may be completed in an inclusive or self-contained environment. During this practicum, students are expected to complete an action research project that has been approved by the university supervisor. This project must focus on improving outcomes for students with exceptionality. In addition, the graduate student will work with several K-12 students in a classroom setting - diagnosing, prescribing, and implementing a reading plan for improvement. Students will apply ‘best practices’ in reading instruction based upon concepts and research acquired in the prerequisite courses in the Reading Program. Grade is pass or fail. This course is offered across two consecutive terms and must be taken concurrently with EDU 672.
