CEP 832 Educating Students with Challenging Behavior
Instructor: Evelyn Oka
Course Description:
Whether you teach in an urban or suburban school district, there are going to be students with challenging behaviors. This course helped me understand that students with a wide variety of challenging behaviors will be found in every classroom. The cause of their behaviors can stem from a range of factors such as home life or academic struggles. Not every child who exhibits challenging behavior is labeled with a disorder and it is the teacher's responsibility to use strategies to help the student. The most important part of working with students with challenging behaviors is to develop a relationship with the student, so the student realizes the teacher really cares about them as a person. Once a relationship is established, it becomes a little easier working through difficult behaviors and finding the causes of the behavior. Once the causes are identified the student can get back on a path to increased academic success.
Here are some examples of my work from this course:
