Students will learn the importance of the educator’s knowledge about discipline strategies, effective communication skills, high-quality teacher and child interactions and the development of a skill set to address behavior issues and implement discipline strategies which are in alignment with the undesirable classroom behaviors. Behavior expectations will be defined and research-based behavioral observation skills, strategies, and assessments will be explored that best support children's various behaviors. Each student will create a community resource file of service agencies to include accessible behavior management resource materials that support teachers and students challenged with behavioral issues in the classroom. It is advised that students take this course in conjunction with working in a classroom setting.
