Analysis Of Class Field Trip To The Mccomb Market

The artifact (video of our class field trip to the McComb Market) is used to demonstrate the knowledge I gained in the areas of learning environment demands, classroom management, and social skills for students with severe learning disabilities.

This is key in using classroom management strategies and theories when working with individuals with exceptionalities
