In this course, issues affecting general and special education relationships will be examined at the federal, state and local levels. Students will become familiar with the major structures and individuals that influence policy development and implementation, with a particular emphasis on special education service delivery. Students will be exposed to policy analyses and will gain an understanding of some of the current tensions and debates within the special and general education domains and the federal policies dealing with both. In addition, this seminar will address current issues such as assessment, Common Core standards, RTI (Response to Intervention) and the blurring of special education roles in the new ways general education proposes to address the needs of students with disabilities during the time of new federal policies being proposed for teacher training.
