The curriculum teaches students to apply the dimensions of multicultural education to support appropriate pedagogical practices for teaching diverse students in Special Education, to select technology tools for integration across the curriculum, and to synthesize the major theoretical perspectives and methods of educational psychology to teaching, learning, and schooling in Special Education.
