Academic
Work
Academic work submitted by the
individual (such as papers, assignments, reports, tests) shall be the student’s
own work or appropriately attributed, in part or in whole, to its correct
source. Submission of commercially prepared (or group prepared) materials as if
they are one’s own work is unacceptable.
Aiding
Honesty in Others
The individual will encourage
honesty in others by refraining from providing materials or information to
another person with knowledge that these materials or information will be used
improperly.
Violations of these academic
standards will result in the assignment of a failing grade and subsequent loss
of credit for the course.
As a result of this course, participants will
demonstrate their ability to:
·
Identify warning
signs of learning disabilities
·
Implement
modifications and accommodations for individuals with learning disabilities
·
Collaborate in
assessment to determine existence of a learning disability
·
Collaborate with
parents, guardians, and the community to provide effective teaching
Course
Description
This course will provide you with a
foundational knowledge of learning disabilities and practical ways you can help
students with disabilities in your classroom.
Chapter 1:
Definition & Characteristics
This
section focuses on the foundational knowledge of learning disabilities. At the
end of this section, students will be able to:
Chapter
2: Assessment
Assessment is an
integral part of the identification and education of children with learning
disabilities. As such its main purpose is to improve learning. This section of
the course will look at both the discrepancy model and the RTI model used for
assessing and identifying learning disabilities. At the end of this section,
students will be able to:
·
Articulate a foundational
knowledge of assessing for learning disabilities
·
Assess
strategies in classroom scenarios
This
section focuses on accommodations and modifications educators can make in the
classroom. We will look at general teaching techniques that will actually raise the quality of teaching in the classroom and
are beneficial when used for the whole class. Then we will look at
accommodations and modifications for specific learning disabilities. Your
objectives for this section are to: 1. Analyze
classroom situations to decide the best accommodation and/or modification to be
used, and 2. Analyze your own teaching to raise the quality of teaching by
integrating general teaching techniques.
Collaborating, or
working well as a team, is vital to meeting the needs of all students, but
especially students with learning disabilities. In this last section of the
course we will look at general educators collaborating with specialists and parents.
Included will be a discussion on IEP meetings, and handling conflict. Your objectives
for this course are to: 1. Understand the principles
of collaborating with others, and 2. Understand the importance of handling
conflict.
As a student you
will be expected to:
·
Complete
all four information sections
showing a competent understanding of the material presented in each section.
·
Complete
all four section examinations, showing
a competent understanding of the material presented. You
must obtain an overall score of 70%
or higher, with no individual exam score below 50%, and successfully
complete ALL writing assignments to pass this course. *Please note: Minimum
exam score requirements may vary by college or university; therefore, you
should refer to your course addendum to determine what your minimum exam score
requirements are.
·
Complete
a review of any section on which your examination score was below 50%.
·
Retake
any examination, after completing an information review, to increase that
examination score to a minimum of 50%, making sure to also be achieving an
overall exam score of a minimum 70% (maximum of three attempts). *Please note: Minimum exam score requirements may vary by
college or university; therefore, you should refer to your course addendum to
determine what your minimum exam score requirements are.
·
Complete
all course journal article and essay writing assignments with the minimum word
count shown for each writing assignment.
·
Complete
a course evaluation form at the end of the course.
At the end of each chapter, you
will be expected to complete an examination designed to assess your knowledge.
You may take these exams a total of three times. Your last score will save, not
the highest score. After your third attempt, each examination will lock and not
allow further access. The
average from your exam scores will be printed on your certificate. However, this is not your final grade since
your required writing assignments have not been reviewed. Exceptionally written or poorly written
required writing assignments, or violation of the academic integrity policy in
the course syllabus, will affect your grade.
As this is a self-paced computerized
instruction program, you may review course information as often as necessary. You
will not be able to exit any examinations until you have answered all
questions. If you try to exit the exam section before you complete all
questions, your information will be lost. You are expected to complete the
entire exam in one sitting.
Writing
Assignments
All
assignments are reviewed and may impact your final grade. Exceptionally or poorly written
assignments, or violation of the Academic Integrity Policy (see course syllabus
for policy), will affect your grade. Fifty percent of your grade is determined
by your writing assignments, and your overall exam score determines the other
fifty percent. Refer to the Essay Grading Guidelines which were sent as
an attachment with your original course link. You should also refer to the Course Syllabus Addendum which was sent as
an attachment with your original course link, to determine if you have any
writing assignments in addition to the Critical Thinking Questions (CTQ) and
Journal Article Summations (JAS). If you
do, the Essay Grading Guidelines will
also apply.
Your writing assignments
must meet the minimum word count and are not to include the question or your
final citations as part of your word count.
In other words, the question and citations are not to be used as a means to meet the minimum word count.
Critical
Thinking Questions
There are
four CTQs that you are required to complete. You will need to write a minimum
of 500 words (maximum 1,000) per essay. You should explain how the information
that you gained from the course will be applied and clearly convey a strong understanding
of the course content as it relates to each CTQ. To view the questions, click on REQUIRED
ESSAY and choose the CTQ that you are ready to complete; this will bring up a
screen where you may enter your essay.
Prior to course submission, you may go back at any point to edit your
essay, but you must be certain to click SAVE once you are done with your edits.
You
must click SAVE before you write another essay or move on to another part of
the course.
Journal
Article Summations
You are
required to write, in your own words, a summary on a total of three
peer-reviewed or scholarly journal articles (one article per JAS), written by
an author with a Ph.D., Ed.D. or similar, on the topic outlined within each JAS
section in the “Required Essays” portion of the course (blogs, abstracts,
news articles or similar are not acceptable). Your article choice must relate
specifically to the discussion topic listed in each individual
JAS. You will choose a total of three relevant articles (one article per
JAS) and write a thorough summary of the
information presented in each article (you must write a minimum of 200 words with a
400 word maximum per JAS). Be sure to provide the URL or the journal name,
volume, date, and any other critical information to allow the facilitator to
access and review each article.
To write
your summary, click on REQUIRED ESSAYS and choose the JAS that you would like
to complete. A writing program will
automatically launch where you can write your summary. When you are ready to
stop, click SAVE. Prior to course submission you may go back at
any point to edit your summaries but you must be certain
to click SAVE once you are done with your edits. For more information on the
features of this assignment, please consult the HELP menu.
You must click SAVE before you
write another summary or move on to another part of the course.
