EDCT 5838 - Book Study: Teaching Vulnerable Learners

Delivery Options Distance Learning

Course Description

When schools fail to address the problems of struggling students, the consequences can be dire: course failures, absenteeism, suspensions or expulsions, dropouts. Those effects continue to ripple with lower rates of college attendance and graduation, underemployment and lower wages, and even incarceration. This course will help teachers recognize the most common barriers to learning and apply solutions that will work in their classrooms with compassion and acceptance, and creativity.
