Synopsis: This course approved for 3 MSDE Continuing Professional Development/CPD credits as course #22-66-04R and fulfills the requirements of the Maryland State Department of Education for certification of school-based social workers. Because social workers provide related services that are part of the educational programming of students with special needs, it is essential that they understand the legal mandates, federal and state policies and standards, as well as the specific instructional methods and technologies used in the classrooms that serve those students, from the least restrictive settings of inclusion to the more clinical settings, including residential.
Learning Objectives: Active participation in the course will provide the ability to:
1. Understand and participate in the diagnostic, service, and evaluation processes of special education.
2. Distinguish among delivery systems provided in schools for students with special
needs
3. Describe and use Universal Design.
4. Design the means for supporting better relationships among the school, the home and the community.
