SPRING, 1984 ?
INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Leone Prock

?
LOCATION: on campus
The Education 424 program is designed as the laboratory extension
of Education 422. Course content will emphasize procedures of
assessment 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 (outside of class time) will be arranged individually by the Education
424 student and the child s/he selects.
Details of the tutoring program, and other course requirements will be
explicated at the first class meeting.
