Students will develop an understanding of the various ways to use 'voice' and learn to differentiate the use of musical components, including instruments, within their activities. In this course, students will  learn to use visual arts  and music to build self-confidence in learners with special needs and develop listening skills and an ability to work from part-to-whole.

The aim is to develop a good understanding of the various teaching methods and pedagogies related to special education, how to utilize them to create strong classroom management plans, and how to prepare effective lessons that engage students while practicing the pedagogies learned.  In the micro-teaching studio, students will be able to implement appropriate strategies and learning materials in simulated learning situations.

This course is an introduction to teaching methods. Teaching methods are often divided into two broad categories: teacher-centered methods (also called direct instruction) and learner-centered methods (also called indirect instruction or inquiry-based learning). An effective teacher knows several methods, some teacher-directed and others learner-directed. From among these methods, a teacher selects the one method or combination of methods most likely to achieve a particular lesson’s objectives with a particular group of students. So this course will explain meaning and characteristics of teaching effectiveness.
