EDUL 6011: Special Education Law for Administrators (1 hour)

This course focuses on the essential special education law concepts found in the United States and Georgia constitutions, statutes, regulations, and judicial decisions, with emphasis on mastering essential legal knowledge and on applying the law in educational settings.

NOTE: Because this class was an introductory study of special education school law, the culminating activity was a final exam. I found the following websites helpful in my study.
