Class Practices of Inclusive Education

This course aims to make the connection between the more academic training and the professional activity in its broadest sense (students and their problems, teachers and collaborative activity, the institution and families). This course unit aims to bridge the gap between academic training and professional activity in its broadest sense (students and their challenges, teachers and collaborative work, the institution and families). It includes a case study in which students accompany a special education teacher or professional in their role supporting a student with selective and/or additional support measures for learning and inclusion in the cognitive and motor domains. The case study will result in a well-founded poster that will be submitted via Moodle and presented orally at the end of the course unit. .
