EDCT 5571 - Book Study: Positive Behavior Management and Restorative Justice

Delivery Options Distance Learning

Course Description

This course provides a much-needed comprehensive and blended view of both positive behavior management and self-empowerment that addresses behavior by allowing students to correct it among themselves. Both school-wide strategies and individual strategies for positive behavior supports are addressed while also focusing on how educators can develop unique behavior management strategies for individual students. It uses functional techniques, real-world classrooms, and practical information-all while covering the legal aspects of behavioral management, assesment strategies, strategies for special populations and diverse populations, age-related behavioral concerns, and the three-tier response-to-intervention approach. Furthermore, research shows that restorative practices are long lasting and wide reaching. The course provides a practical blueprint for creating a cooperative and respectful classroom climate in which students and teacher work through behavioral issues together. You will establish procedures and expectations for student behavior that encourages the development of positive interpersonal skills, development of a non-confrontational rapport with the most challenging students, and implement conflict-resolution strategies that prioritize relationship building and mutual understanding over blame and retribution.
