EDUC 2375 - Social-Emotional Development

3 Credits
3 Class Hours

This course addresses promotion, prevention and intervention strategies related to young children’s social-emotional development and challenging behavior. The course is built around the Teaching Pyramid (Fox, Dunlap, Hemmeter, Joseph & Strain, 2003) which is a framework for understanding effective practices related to supporting young children’s social-emotional development and addressing challenging behavior. The model includes a focus on building relationships with children, families and colleagues, designing environments that support young children’s social-emotional competence, strategies for teaching social skills and promoting emotional development, and a systematic approach for addressing challenging behavior when it is persistent and not responsive to developmentally appropriate guidance procedures. Prerequisite(s): Level 2 placement in English and Reading.
