This subject introduces students to the special education (the individual differences of learners) faced by beginning music teachers. It includes topics such as meeting the education needs of students with disabilities, sensory and physical disabilities, and emotional and behaviour disorders. An understanding by all teachers of the Disability Standards for Education (2005) is a requirement of the graduate teaching standards by AITSL (Australian Institute of Teachers and School Leaders). This unit of study provides an in-depth examination of legislation and policy, and a detailed exploration of quality education practice that is required to assist teachers in meeting the requirements of this policy and legislation. Further, it will offer students an opportunity to make direct links to classroom practice. Focus will be given to the cycle of teaching and learning and planning to meet individual needs of students.
