The Education 

424

program is designed as the laboratory extension of 

Education 

422.

Course content will emphasize procedures of assess- 

ment and instructional programming that may optimally increase the 

achievement levels of learning disabled students. 

Program topics will include: provision of a safe environment; controlled 

instruction; assessment; record-keeping and data management; task 

analysis; perceptual and cognitive skill development; "invention" 

techniques for treatment; behaviour management. 

A major course requirement involves tutoring a learning disabled child. 

Class members should plan to schedule 

4 - 6

hours per week, especially 

during the months of February and March, for these activities. Tutoring 

time will be arranged individually by the Education 

424

student and 

the child he selects. 

Details of the tutoring program, and other course requirements will 

be explicated at the first class meeting.
