During this course, we will examine the crucial role that behavior management plays in supporting the academic success of students with special needs. Our work will be grounded in current research and evidence-based practices that emphasize the importance of proactive strategies, such as fostering positive teacher-student relationships, creating structured and supportive environments, and implementing clear and consistent behavioral expectations. Together, we will examine how these approaches not only promote student engagement and motivation but also contribute to improved academic achievement, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. Through case studies, interactive discussions, and reflective practice, you will gain practical tools and theoretical insight to support inclusive, equitable, and effective classroom environments.
There is a book as a requirement for this course:
