Issue and Discussion Question
• Issue: – Our doctoral students entered our program with little
knowledge about IDEA or relevant policies for ECSE/ECE
• How can we “boost” what we provide in our preservice programs so that Masters and licensure students in ECSE/ECE are knowledgeable about IDEA and other relevant laws and policies?
