How to Deal with the Challenging Student in Your Classroom

Course #:

EDCU 9978

Credit:

3 semester hours of graduate level professional development credits from University of Massachusetts Global.

Cost:

$400

Course Description

The challenging student in the classroom presents two problems for the teacher. One is the impact the student’s challenging behavior is having on that student’s learning. The second is how that challenging behavior takes away from the learning of all the other students in the class. A teacher has only so much time and energy to present their curriculum.  Any behaviors that require the teacher to address not related to that curriculum, takes away from their instruction. In this course, we will look at the root causes of challenging behavior and provide teachers with specific strategies and techniques to eliminate and/or minimize challenging behavior.

Specifics

Once you register for a course, please allow 24 hours to receive your coursework. The LoVerde Group will email you a Google Drive link containing your coursework along with a welcome email.
