What is Adaptive Instruction?
Adaptive Instruction is an interdepartmental specialization offered jointly
by the Department of Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning, and the Department
of Human Development and Applied Psychology. Candidates who apply for the
Niagara Centre program will be entering through the Department of Curriculum,
Teaching, and Learning. They must meet the admissions requirements of this
department, and complete course CTL1000, a requirement for all CTL students.
The program examines issues related to the teaching and learning characterists of students with diverse needs in the regular classroom. The inclusion of students who have been designated as exceptional will be the focus, but not exclusively. Candidates will develop an understanding of developmental diversity and instructional strategies that make learning accessible to students with diverse needs. Alternative forms of program delivery will be considered such as collaboration models, mainstreaming and inclusion, and instructional strategies, ranging from direct instruction to constructivist methods.
