Independent Study

This advanced course focuses on implementing evidence-based practices, high-leverage practices and data-based intensification in special education. Students critically examine research, apply HLPs, and use data for instructional decisions. They develop skills to design and adapt interventions for diverse learners, emphasizing practical applications to improve outcomes for students with disabilities across various educational settings.

This capstone course requires students to integrate and apply knowledge acquired from previous coursework to address an authentic problem of practice in special education. Students will propose, design, and implement a solution to tackle the identified issue. This course will culminate in a comprehensive examination or equivalent project submission, demonstrating their readiness to contribute as leaders in special education.

EDIS 6991 serves as the framing course for the completion of the Curry Teaching Performance Assessment (CTPA), the culminating capstone project for the Secondary One-Year PGMT program. Additionally, EDIS 6991 explores the process of searching for and obtaining a job as a middle and/or high school teacher as well as issues of professional engagement in these settings.

The goal of this course is for students to understand and apply views on cognition, learning, and teaching to inform the design and research of technology-enhanced or STEM education learning activities and/or environments. This course is open to graduate students from any discipline that want to be able to understand and draw upon current perspectives of learning for technology-enhanced or STEM educational practice.
