The Department of Special education and local public school systems
have developed a partnership model that designs pre-service and in-service
content related to the inclusion of secondary students with disabilities
in the general education program. This model is designed to develop
highly effective beginning teachers, to facilitate the ongoing professional
growth of all participants, and to create a school culture where inquiry,
action research, and reflection are ongoing and valued professional
practices
The goal of the PDS is to prepare scondary special educators to become
highly qualified collaborators who provide students with disabilities:
 |
Instructional support in general education content courses |
|
Functional academics |
|
Community based skills |
