Students will be introduced to educational research, design, analysis and its applicability when reading, designing, or conducting educational research, particularly research that involves K-12 students with special education needs and those who are learning English as a new language.

This course is designed for the CLD/SPED graduate student to be provided with opportunities to observe and participate in a variety of special education and second language acquisition settings; reflect on the observations and develop teaching related artifacts suitable for use in specified field experience settings (specifically serving students with special needs and/or those students with culturally/linguistically diverse needs).
