Welcome

Welcome SPED 553 Class,

Welcome to the SPED 553 Class Blog. We will use the class blog to (a) hold class-related discussions and share relevant web-based resources, (b) distribute lecture notes, (c) provide access to forms required for homework assignments as well as the final project, and (d) provide audio podcasts of material relevant for the course.

BLOG
Initially I will initiate the discussions, within the first weeks of the semester, you will be granted greater access to the class blog and will be able to initiate blog entries that class mates can respond to.

In the meantime, check out the California Department of Education Composite of Laws. This is the site where you will be searching Califonia's interpretation of the IDEA...specifically you will be required to download California regulations that pertain to Positive Behavior Supports.
