Inclusive Teaching for SEN Students

Course Summary

This course will focus on a broad topic of Special Education Needs. It is a topic well-known in many countries in the world. However, it seems that not many countries have come to a solution that satisfies all stakeholders in the process. It is primary to focus on children's needs, providing the most beneficial outcome to the quality of their lives. But, in the process, is it possible that we overwhelm the ones who are planning for those outcomes and are implementing the programs?

 

Through encouragement of your philosophical skills and engagement in discussions which are much needed in the world of education, the course will go through some basic knowledge of Special Education Needs and some of the most prevalent difficulties and impairments, as well as special talents and extraordinary abilities one can come across a school setting.
