TEXT & MATERIALS: Required Text: Overton, T. (2012). Assessing Learners with Special Needs: An Applied Approach (7th ed.). Pearson: NJ. Supplemental reference list provided. V. CATALOG DESCRIPTION: This course is designed to provide knowledge and skills regarding assessment procedures, process (including pre-referral and Response to Intervention), and protocols utilized in making eligibility and instructional decisions regarding individualized education programs and placements. In addition, candidates develop an understanding of assessment terminology, accommodations, and fidelity of implementation, as well as culturally appropriate assessments, and gain expertise in communicating assessment results to key stakeholders including student and families. Field experience is required.
2 Pre-requisites: Admission to KSU graduate program VI. PURPOSE/RATIONALE: This course will establish foundational knowledge of assessment and evaluation of learners, with an emphasis on using data for educational decision making process within PK-12 schooling contexts. The purpose of the course is to prepare prospective special education teachers to become competent in administration procedures and practices used in educational assessments, the interrelation of critical factors that impact an educational assessment, and communication of assessment findings to parents and other professionals. The competencies in this course are derived from the requirements of the GA Professional Standards Commission (PSC), Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), National Board of Professional Teaching (NBPTS), Interstate New Teachers and Support Consortium (INTASC) and the NCATE/, and PTEU. In addition, and as part of their professional responsibilities, teachers of students with disabilities need to know the legislative and litigative implications of the demands of their practice in the identification of students with mild disabilities. Conceptual Framework Collaborative Development of Expertise in Teaching and Learning Our vision as a nationally recognized KSU Education Preparation Provider (EPP) unit is to remain at the forefront of educator preparation. Informed by responsive engagement in collaborative partnerships, we advance educational excellence through innovative teaching in an ever-changing global and digital learning environment. Our mission is to prepare educators to improve student learning within a collaborative teaching and learning community through innovative teaching, purposeful research, and engaged service. The essence of our vision and mission is captured in the theme Collaborative Development of Expertise in Teaching, Learning and Leadership which was adopted in 2002 to express concisely the fundamental approach to educator preparation at KSU. The KSU Education Preparation Provider (EPP) unit at Kennesaw State University is committed to developing expertise among candidates in initial and advanced programs as teachers, teacher leaders and school leaders who possess the capability, intent and expertise to facilitate high levels of learning in all of their students through effective, research-based practices in classroom instruction, and to enhance the structures that support all learning. To that end, the EPP fosters the development of candidates as they progress through stages of growth from novice to proficient to expert and leader. Within the EPP conceptual framework, expertise is viewed as a process of continued development, not an end-state. To be effective, teachers and educational leaders must embrace the notion that teaching and learning are entwined and that only through the implementation of validated practices can all students construct meaning and reach high levels of learning. In that way, candidates are facilitators of the teaching and learning process. Finally, the EPP recognizes, values, and demonstrates collaborative practices across the college and university and extends collaboration to the community-at-large. Through this collaboration with professionals in the university, local communities, public and private schools and school districts, parents and other professional partners, the EPP meets the ultimate goal of bringing all of Georgia s students to high levels of learning. Use of Technology. Technology Standards for Educators are required by the Professional Standards Commission. Telecommunication and information technologies will be integrated throughout the program, and all candidates must be able to use technology to improve student learning and ensure access to the general education curriculum, as well as an administrative management tool. Candidates in this course will explore and use instructional media to assist teaching. They will master productivity tools, INED DRAFT 2
3 such as multimedia facilities, l Internet, and assistive technology, and feel confident to design multimedia instructional materials and use diagnostic software. EPP Diversity Statement The KSU Education Preparation Provider (EPP) unit believes all learners are entitled to equitable educational opportunities. To that end, programs within the PTEU consist of curricula, field experiences, and clinical practice that promote candidates development of knowledge, skills, and professional dispositions related to diversity identified in the unit s conceptual framework, including the local community, Georgia, the nation, and the world. Curricula and applied experiences are based on welldeveloped knowledge foundations for, and conceptualizations of, diversity and inclusion so that candidates can apply them effectively in schools. Candidates learn to contextualize teaching and draw effectively on representations from the students own experiences and cultures. They learn to collaborate and engage with families in ways that value the resources, understandings, and knowledge that students bring from their home lives, communities and cultures as assets to enrich learning opportunities. Candidates maintain high expectations for all students (including English learners, students with exceptionalities and other historically marginalized and underrepresented students), and support student success through research-based culturally, linguistically, and socially relevant pedagogies and curricula. National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. (2008). Professional standards for the accreditation of teacher preparation institutions. Washington, DC: NCATE. Accessibility: Kennesaw State University provides program accessibility and accommodations for persons defined as disabled under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or the Americans with Disabilities Act of A number of services are available to support students with disabilities within their academic program. In order to make arrangements for special services, students must visit the Office of Disabled Student Support Services (ext. 6443) and develop an individual assistance plan. In some cases, certification of disability is required. Please be aware there are other support/mentor groups on the campus of Kennesaw State University that address each of the multicultural variables outlined above. Course Specific Field Experience: While completing your graduate program at Kennesaw State University, you will complete several applied experiences which facilitate bridging of theory to practice. In addition, because special education is a K-12 certification, you must complete a field experience at each of the following grade level bands: P-2; 3-5; 6-8; and You also must document experiences with diverse learners including English Learners. If you are currently employed as a teacher and work with students with disabilities, you can complete your field experience within you own setting. If you are not employed, or do not work with students with disabilities, you will need to complete a 50 hour field experience during which time you will complete the applied key assessment. Placements will be coordinated by the Center for Field Experience and Placements and require a KSU Background Check and Proof of Liability Insurance. Candidates will observe access to the curriculum, complete a reflection, and assist their cooperating teacher with the implementation of differentiated instruction. VII.
