Justification for action
The Department of Special Education is revising the current undergraduate teacher licensure
program to meet new and on-going state Department of Public Instruction (DPI)
requirements. Program revision involves changes to existing courses, addition of new courses
and deletion of courses. For this course, a change in title will better reflect the content and
nature of the revised course. To meet new requirements, this course has been combined with
another course (SPECED 470/670 – student teaching seminar) and that course is being
deleted. Resulting content changes will combine aspects of both courses.
