EDUC525  - Classroom Management

View Academic Calendar
 

PHYSICAL PROXIMITY TO A SCHOOL DISTRICT REQUIRED AND ACCESS MUST BE ARRANGED PRIOR TO THE FIRST WEEK OF THE COURSE. This course examines classroom-management models and theoretical and empirical approaches to classroom management. The course helps students develop appropriate classroom-management decision making and problem solving skills, explores the merits and limitations of each classroom-management model, and examines the rationale when each approach to classroom management could be most appropriately implemented. The course also presents concepts of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation; the concept of self-motivation; assertive, positive, and cooperative discipline; and examines the relationships among classroom environment, classroom behavior, and learning. In this course students will focus on implementing interventions for preventing and managing routine and disruptive discipline problems in a practical manner to include establishing effective classroom rules and procedures, relationships, role of parents, and helping students contribute to a positive learning environment that is relevant to their lives. Information provided in this course is directly linked to the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) standards. A field observation experience where students will apply what they are learning as they spend some time in a classroom is a requirement of this course. (Prerequisite: EDUC503 The Professional Educator).
