Description

This course focuses on the behavioral, cognitive, legal, and social aspects of transition in the special education process. Teachers are exposed to the basic knowledge and skills needed for developing and implementing transition activities and services, providing a broad context that includes a legislative-policy base. This integration of policy with practice builds a foundation for understanding the requisites that drive transition services as well as providing for educational principles and theories for making classroom decisions guided by law and pragmatism. Students learn to speak knowledgeably about con-cepts such as assessment, disability, planning, self-concept, self-determination, self-regulation, and transition. (Formerly EDSP-640.)
