EDUC 0578 - Behavior Support for Students with Emotional/Behavioral Disorders

Credits: 3

This graduate course focuses on the importance of creating and maintaining a safe and collaborative learning environment that values diversity and empowers students with emotional and behavioral challenges to be problem-solvers.  Case studies and materials require candidates to explore a variety of tiered approaches as they learn to assess through observation and the analysis of data to determine skills that are lacking in the social emotional competencies. Behavior support plans that honor family background and consider the home, the school, and the community are developed. Philosophies, expectations, and practices of retributive versus restorative justice are examined to determine effects on relationships, the overrepresentation of males and people of color in this population, and the criminalization of school populations. The identification process and the use of behavior management principles for students with emotional and behavioral disorders are addressed.  This graduate course is cross-listed with EDUC 0378 and is differentiated by assignments, learning outcomes and expectations at an advanced level.Pre-requisites EDUC 0633 or equivalent and EDUC 0540 or equivalent or permission of the instructor.
