DISABILITY STUDIES AND UNIVERSAL DESIGN:
Every educator will encounter students who meet the criteria for disability within public education and grapple with how to successfully foster learning, equity and inclusion in diverse classrooms and schools. This online course, introduces Disability Studies in Education-- a liberation movement discipline distinct from Special Education-- that offers unique insight into these endeavors and proposes Universal Design as a guiding principle.

Disability Studies proposes that "disability" is contextualized within particular social, cultural and political environments according to the acceptable limits of human variability in those environments. This contrasts with the "medical, model," which positions disability as a deficit inherent to an individual, to be rehabilitated, remediated or cured. Contrasting these two different theoretical models helps us to explore the ideology that may underlie ableism, stigma and privilege. Our inquiry will include lived experience and counter culture narratives associated with various disability groups. We will conclude by investigating how we may employ the principle of Universal Design to create embracive learning environments where all students feel valued and empowered, as well as how we may work to dismantle systemic barriers to equity and inclusion within Education.

Disability Studies intersects with other critical disciplines such as Critical Race Studies, Feminist Studies and Gender Studies, all of which foreground lived experience and de-center dominant narratives that cast particular individuals or groups as the "Other." These intersections are also considered in the course, shedding light on the persistent over-representation of minorities in Special Education and exploring whether disablement may function as a mechanism of marginalization for various groups.

Through assigned readings and communal online discussion among professional peers, we will investigate the philosophical, pedagogical, and pragmatic approaches to dis/ability, equity, and, inclusion in education. Teachers, counselors, administrators, psychologists, specialists and academics should all emerge from this course with the historical context, intellectual framework, and practical skills to deepen their professional practice and help promote social justice-both within the sphere of education and in the wider world.

Direct instruction and support for the process of, preparing a thesis and/or other research or grant, proposals. Includes both a colloquium and, individual consultations with a thesis chair (or,, if not writing a thesis, another faculty member)., The colloquium will focus on the refinement of, research questions, the specifics of research, design, and the Human Subjects in Research, application process. Consultations with thesis, committee chair or other faculty member will focus, on the development of a manuscript that clearly, details the purpose of the research, summarizes, relevant literature, and identifies the proposed, design and methodology for the research project.

Creating a community of support in the classroom., Emphasizes understanding students' personal needs,, creating positive teacher-student and peer, relationships, creating classroom rules and, procedures within a democratic learning community,, and responding to minor behavior problems.

Leaders are responsible for fostering an inclusive
school and district culture where each and every
child is a valued and fundamental member and
participant in classrooms and the community. This
course will address how disability is socially
constructed, and how assumptions about a student's
perceived ability can be reinforced by
exclusionary school and district practices. This
course will provide opportunities for
administrators to use current, relevant research
to increase their understanding of leadership
practices that foster an inclusive school culture
for students with Special Education and TAG
designations, as well as developing and supporting
students in need of 504 plans. Additionally,
students in this class will develop the knowledge
and skills to enact high leverage practices in the
areas of effective collaboration and
communication, assessment and accountability,
social, emotional, and behavior supports,
instruction, program/service support, and
supervision and legal requirements.

This foundational course is designed to introduce
the theories, practices, core responsibilities,
and issues associated with leadership and social
justice in educational organizations. Aspiring
principals and other educational practitioners
move toward acquiring and affirming requisites and
capacities to engage in social justice praxis
(critical reflection and action) towards improving
conditions and culture in schools in authentic and
collaborative ways. Candidates learn about
instructional, organizational, community, ethical,
and sociopolitical functions of leadership. Using
research and reflection, candidates analyze and
clarify internal and external conceptions of and
attitudes toward leadership at the intersection of
social injustice including but not limited to:
systemic racism, whiteness as privilege and power,
gender and class biases, ableism, and deficit
minded decision-making to guide them in leadership
work.

Theories of how first and second languages, (written and spoken) are acquired, the importance, of first-language development and its, relationship to the acquisition of other, languages, and the relationship of language to, cognitive development.
