Teachers-in-training will examine the effect of challenging behaviors
and family dynamics on student growth and development. Teachers can
assist parents in providing a "seamless" system to support
the replacement of problem behaviors with acceptable behaviors which
will support academic success in school as well as success in later
life.
Teachers will:
- Identify modifiable behavior issues common within their teaching
environments.
- Identify opportunities to assist parents in changing family interaction
patterns to promote different behavioral outcomes for students.
- Analyze family dynamics which might inadvertently enable problem
student behaviors.
- Identify resources who could provide family services in the behavioral/mental
heath domain.
