This course will present current theories, issues, research findings, and practices as they relate to the development of social skills and effective classroom management of students with mild to intensive behavioral problems that may or may not co-exist with other learning needs. These issues are examined from a student-centered, culturally sensitive, and multi-agency perspective. The course will provide future educators with an understanding of different conceptual models, approaches, and strategies for individualizing instruction for K-12 students with socio-emotional and behavioral disorders in the full continuum of educational settings, from least to most restrictive.
