A study of the characteristics and educational needs of individuals with special needs, including academically and intellectually gifted students, will be included. Emphasis is on the issues and trends in both gifted and special education, the current categorical descriptions of exceptionalities, including academically and intellectually gifted, and appropriate classroom interventions. Research-based strategies for teaching both identified and at-risk students in the regular classroom are explored throughout the course.
