Description (or Proposed Degree Requirements)
This course is designed for to assist teachers in orchestrating culturally responsive classrooms,
particularly for students with disabilities and those who are culturally and linguistically diverse.
The course focuses on development of collaborative, communication and consultative skills
necessary for working with families, classroom teachers, related services practitioners,
community resource personnel and others to facilitate delivery of appropriate services for diverse
students.
III.
Justification
The Department of Special Education at Kennesaw State University has historically offered a
program in Collaborative Practices, with endorsement in ESOL. The proposed changes in this
course are necessary to bring the existing endorsement program into alignment with national
TESOL standards. Many of the research-based practices for students with disabilities are also
efficacious for students who are culturally and linguistically diverse. This effort will pave the way
for classroom teachers in Georgia to educate all students within the Georgia Performance
Standards, including those who have disabilities and those who are culturally and linguistically
diverse.
The purpose of this course is to assist P-12 special education and ESOL teachers providing
students with disabilities and those who are culturally and linguistically diverse with access to the
state-approved curriculum and P-12 classrooms. To facilitate student success in this
environment, candidates must be able to co-teach and collaborate with general educators in
developing and implementing multi-level and differentiated instruction and assessment practices.
Candidates must also be able to communicate successfully with families of cultures other than
their own.
