Current catalog description:
Methods and Adaptations for Teaching Mathematics (K-12). (3) (Prereq: Admission to the Professional Program in Teacher Education) This course prepares candidates to teach mathematics, problem solving, and reasoning skills to students with high-incidence disabilities PK - 12. The course focuses on national mathematics curriculum standards, research-based instruction, high-stakes assessment, functional mathematics, and problem solving with an emphasis on the effects of disabilities on mathematics achievement. The problem-solving strand extends to include cross-curricular applications of reasoning skills. F.
Proposed catalog description, in the present tense, including prefix, number, title, (credits), (prerequisites), (co-requisites), course description, and semesters offered. Catalog description should be exactly as it is to appear in the catalog.:

What research has led to this request?
This course was introduced in 2012 to address the need to prepare special education candidates to teach math content. But the course was removed in 2014 to make space for state requirements regarding Read to Succeed. Based on our observations of candidates in the field, candidate request for the course, and our recent work to ensure our program is in alignment with SPA requirement, we have decided to reintroduce this course into the junior year for our candidates.
What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?
The positive impact of this change is that future teachers will be more knowledgeable regarding materials, adaptations, and strategies to effectively teach mathematics to students with mild to moderate disabilities. Additionally, this will increase our overall credits by 3.
What financial costs are associated with this request?
None
If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?
Our faculty course loads are full. However, we have lecturers/adjuncts who can assist with this course or relieve faculty of other courses so that this one is covered.
