The Spectrum of Intelligence: Insights for Educators in Special Education

DESCRIPTION
The online course, "The Spectrum of Intelligence: Insights for Educators in Special Education" will discuss the influence of intelligence and special education students. Intelligence is a multifaceted concept that has been debated and defined in various ways throughout history. Traditionally, intelligence has often been measured using intelligence quotient (IQ) tests, which aim to quantify cognitive abilities such as reasoning, problem-solving, and comprehension. However, this narrow definition can be limiting, particularly in the context of special education, where diverse learning needs must be recognized and accommodated. Understanding intelligence as a spectrum allows educators to appreciate the varied abilities of students, moving beyond a simplistic numerical representation to a more holistic view.
