The Moderate Needs Teacher 1 Licensure Preparation and Master of Arts Completion program at the University of Denver prepares teachers to meet the needs of challenged learners and to make contributions to the school community. The central theme of its courses, field work, and internships is the necessity of adapting classroom objectives, activities, and behavioral expectations to student needs. Teachers will learn how to make instruction accommodate the learner, not vice versa. The program stresses that a classroom is part of a larger context that includes the school, community, and family. Thus course work will point out what teachers can do to build classroom, school, community, and family linkages.
Major emphases are individualized and flexible.
