M.Ed.Special and Inclusive Education (SIE): EDUSIE2-Classroom Management for Inclusive Classrooms

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The overarching purpose of this course is to prepare students to be able to effectively and efficiently increase student engagement and time-on-task and reduce problem behaviors that may hinder academic achievement. Students will review educational theories and analyse student, classroom and school variables related to organization and planning for management. Based on classroom observations, students will synthesize theory and research relevant to classroom motivation, discipline, evidence-based practices and develop individual and group behavior management plans. Students will analyse student problem behavior, develop a Functional Behavior Assessment and an individual Behavior Intervention Plan that is grounded in both theory, best practice and the ethical delivery of a behavioral intervention.
