HD 426 - Working with Children Who Challenge Teachers' Skills

3 Credit(s)
This class will help teachers develop their skills, gain a better understanding of children who challenge them, and also identify those children whose behavior extends beyond their expertise and may require different or specialized help. Students will use observational and assessment strategies to develop an intervention plan for the support of an individual child. Atypical development, family instability, difference in cultural expectations, and the limitations of the student's own experiences will all be considered as possible influences on the teacher's difficulties with a particular child.
