(1 unit)

The objective of this course is to provide the student with an overview of the issues inherent in the provision of culturally informed community-based services in urban centers to culturally and ethnically diverse children, adolescents and their families, as well as services offered through school districts. Students will become familiar with regular education and special education programs and services. Lectures and readings will lead to an understanding of the history and current trends in education, their implications for student learning and how school psychologists may support and use these services/programs in their work with students and families.
