SPE 577 Research Seminar in Special Education

This course is taken near the end of one’s M.Ed. in Special Education program and provides a culminating experience in which candidates look back over their data and research research findings, collected through various projects over the course of the program, and conduct a reflective meta-analysis of their own learning and the learning of their students. From this, they will create a research report that they present to others. Candidates will also explore communities of research and practice, and how they can sustain teachers’ momentum in personal and professional development, as well as improve their craft as educators. They will propose professional goals for themselves and develop a research plan for their future. Pre-requisite(s): SPE 529. Co-requisite(s): None. 3 semester hours
