• Unit 7 Synopsis and Checklist

Course Description:
3 Clock Hours
CDA Settings:

• Infant/Toddler

​Every child needs special attention in certain areas of learning and development from time to time. However, children with disabilities usually require consistent, long-term help and accommodation in the classroom. Including all children in the classroom, despite their needs, is crucial to having a diverse and inclusive classroom experience that everyone benefits from. It is the responsibility of the educator to teach and support each child to the best of their abilities. In this course, we will learn about creating an inclusive classroom and how to support development in children with disabilities.   

Learning Outcomes:

After completing the required readings and course assignments, participants will be able to:

• Discuss ways to create a welcoming and inclusive classroom environment through participation in peer discussions
• Describe the benefits of inclusivity as a teacher through a digital worksheet to check for understanding
• Apply knowledge of accommodation to various lesson plan examples
• Identify ways to incorporate more inclusiveness and diversity in their own classrooms through participation in peer discussions

**  A special thank you to Kimberlee Turner, MS Ed for developing the curriculum for this topic. **
