SPEA 659 - Managing Challenging Behavior

3 Credit Hours
In this course, candidates examine the role of relationship as central to student-teacher interactions including those that are marked by behavioral concerns. They study the use of appropriate non-aversive, least intrusive management procedures when presented with a variety of behavioral problems including challenging behaviors. Candidates learn strategies for individual behavior management, crisis prevention, conflict resolution and the effective use of reinforcement. Additionally, strategies and techniques to arrange and modify the learning environment to facilitate learning according to students’ emotional, social, and behavioral needs are also considered. Candidates consider the centrality of cultural and linguistic diversity in understanding students’ behavior and classroom interactions. As part of this course, candidates study and complete functional assessments of behavior and develop behavior intervention plans based on student case studies.
