This unit will consider educational issues for students with learning difficulties together with identifying the characteristics of students at risk. The emphasis will be on assessment, planning, organisation, management, and teaching of students with learning difficulties within the regular classroom. A critical analysis of effective teaching strategies and the identification of current trends in educating students with learning difficulties will be undertaken. Policy and service delivery to children with learning difficulties will be reviewed. The process of developing a whole school support program for students at educational risk and working collaboratively with school staff, parents and peripatetic staff to implement appropriate models of support will be investigated. The unit has a strong practical component and students will be given the opportunity to apply diagnostic and remedial techniques and to differentiate the curriculum to accommodate the needs of individual students within the regular classroom.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Lectures, workshops, tutorials, critiques, practical project and independent study.
