Teaching Students With Special Needs: Course Description
Educators expect good behavior from students so that teaching can take place in a focused environment. When that environment is disrupted, an effective form of discipline must be in place so that the teaching process can continue. This course, which is taught by Dr. Barry Fields, covers strategies for maintaining the behavior of students with special needs. Three models of behavior--management, leadership and non-directive--are explained. Emerging methods of discipline are also defined. Students are encouraged to develop and evaluate their own model of discipline and behavior management based on the methods described in the course.
