COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course will focus on understanding and dealing with challenging student behaviours
frequently seen in the regular classroom. Class time will be spent studying theories
commonly used to understand the problems of children and youth, reviewing intervention
research, and examining teacher beliefs that underlie teacher interventions.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS
A.
Students are expected to attend and participate in every class.
B.
Students are also expected to submit a report on each of the required texts. Each report
should include a summary of the text content (in sufficient detail to assure the
instructor that the text was carefully read), a discussion of how the content can be
applied to their teaching, and a brief discussion of their personal reaction to the text
content. For the Friend/Cook book, students should apply the content to their experience
working with inclusion projects; and for the Wood/Long book, students should write
about how the content applies to their conversations with children.
C.
Students who wish to earn an A or the equivalent of an A must also write a research
paper on a topic negotiated with the instructor.
D. Additionally, there will be several overnight writing assignments that are part of the
class participation expectations. These activities make it particularly important that
students complete the readings prior to class so the schedule will be manageable.
GRADES
A. Students who attend and participate in class and who submit good reviews of the
assigned readings will receive a B in the class.
B.
Students who complete the course requirements at the level required for a grade B and
who write a good research paper will receive an A
C.
Students who complete the required assignments in an acceptable but not quality
manner will earn a C.
D.
Students who do not complete the course requirements in an acceptable manner will
receive a D.
E.
Students who do not complete all of the course requirements will receive a F.
For this course, "good" is operationally defined as well written, carefully documented,
thorough, and accurate. "Acceptable" is defined as accurate, well written, and carefully
documented but not thorough.
TEXTBOOKS
Pre-reading assignment will be mailed prior to course.
