practice communication and basic teaching skills, (3) an exploration of the contemporary classroom
context.

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT AND DISCIPLINE
This course introduces students to the major principles and applications
associated with a variety of models of classroom management. Through the use
of theoretical summaries, practical illustrations, and critical analyses, students
are encouraged to understand and assess these models as they might be employed
in classroom and school contexts. No one approach is advocated over the others.
Rather, the aim is to help students to comprehend each model and its claims, to
evaluate the coherence and appropriateness of the theories and methods
advocated, and to develop their own ideas concerning classroom management
based on such understanding and assessment.
