PREREQUISITE:

Educ. 422 or corequisite.

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 she/he selects.

Details of the tutoring program, and other course requirements will be

explicated at the first class meeting.
