Secondary Literacy and Mathematics Strategies and Assistive Technologies mirrors the elementary course for older students — critical thinking, post-secondary transition, and career-preparation-focused accommodations.
What D768 covers
The course prepares special education teachers to use progress monitoring and evidence-based instructional practices for secondary students with exceptionalities, focusing on intensive instruction and accommodation including assistive technology for secondary lesson plans.
Learners apply strategies to develop student critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and assess/measure progress towards IEP and transition goals for post-secondary and career preparation.
The D768 performance assessment
Expect a performance assessment requiring you to design a secondary literacy or math lesson with assistive technology accommodations tied to a given student's IEP transition goals.
Key topics in D768
- Secondary assistive technology accommodations
- Critical thinking and problem-solving strategies
- Post-secondary transition goals
Writing tips for D768
Follow the task instructions and rubric line by line
WGU performance assessments for D768 are graded against a fixed rubric — every rubric line has to be visibly addressed, usually with a labeled heading that mirrors the rubric language. Skipping a rubric point because it seems minor is the single most common reason a competent submission comes back "Not Yet Competent" for revision.
Ground every claim in a specific classroom scenario, not teaching in the abstract
Education courses like D768 typically ask you to apply theory to a specific grade level, subject, or student population rather than write about teaching generically. Evaluators are checking whether your reasoning fits that concrete classroom situation.
Because WGU is self-paced, don't let "no deadline pressure" become no submission
There's no weekly due date forcing progress, which means procrastination costs more at WGU than at a traditional term-based school — a stalled task can quietly eat weeks of a term. Treat your own target date for each D768 assessment as a real deadline.

Why students seek help with D768
MAT candidates sometimes design accommodations focused only on academic content and skip the post-secondary/career-transition dimension — a complete response connects instruction to those transition goals.
