EHD 541 - Prevention and Intervention in School Settings: Social Emotional Learning


Examines the conceptualization and application of prevention and intervention within school settings.  Assumes that students have a theoretical understanding and classroom experience with core educational approaches related to pro-active classroom management, effective instruction, curriculum development, and classroom assessment.  From this foundation, students enrolled in EHD 541 examine theoretical perspectives on risk and resilience as they pertain to the development of competent social behaviors and self regulation skills, including those found to facilitate social relationships, serve as academic enablers, and promote self-determination. Social learning theory and the developmental-ecological framework will serve as the primary theoretical and conceptual roots for this course.  Emphasis is given to behavioral and academic prevention and intervention implemented within coherent classroom and schoolwide systems of support.  Contextual factors (e.g., home, community, SES and the broader domain of social justice) provide the ecological backdrop of our study.
