Included will be theories of assessment including the Response to Intervention framework and the development of skills and knowledge needed to analyze and implement teaching strategies for use with all learners in the classroom (including special needs, advanced, and ELL), among a team of teachers and as part of a referral to the appropriate resources. This course includes contemporary legal issues concerning diverse learners.
