PREREQUISITE (or concurrent):

Education 422

Objectives

Education 424 provides SFU students with an opportunity to provide individualized instruction to

children with learning disabilities. In the Summer 2007 lab, SFU students will be responsible for a)

conducting an informal assessment of each child's learning difficulties and b) providing intervention for

one hour/day during the tutorial sessions in the summer. Some visits to children's home schools will be

required prior to the summer tutorial. All Education 424 students will be required to obtain a criminal

record check prior to working with the children.

Time requirements

Each student will be required to attend a lecture as indicated as well as commit to a one hour daily

tutorial session, beginning Wednesday, July 2 and continuing Monday to Friday until Tuesday, July 22.

Each SFU student will sign up for one time slot at time of registration, on a first-come, first-served

basis. PARTICIPATION IN THE DAILY TUTORIAL IN JULY IS MANDATORY. For each day

that an SFU student does not attend (with or without a reasonable excuse) 10% of the total marks for the

course will be deducted.
