EDUC 650 - Prevention/Intervention Soc, Wellne

3 Credits

This course will thoroughly discuss the features of a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) framework to support social, emotional, and behavioral wellness, including evidenced based research on prevention and intervention strategies associated with the MTSS framework. Culturally responsive practices that address students’ developmental social and emotional learning needs will be highlighted within a socio-ecological and socio-cultural perspective. Through discussions of research and theory, students will gain an understanding of the planning and implementing approaches to de-escalate non- crisis and crisis situations in the instance when the safety of students or others may be in jeopardy that reflect trauma-informed principles and be able to demonstrate an understanding of how to use academic and behavioral progress monitoring data (e.g., individual, classroom, school-wide) to support educational practices. Problem-based and case study analysis, and field work at trauma informed schools will inform student learning and applications. Emphasis will be placed on the role of the teacher in relation to all topics discussed. Four hours of field work is required (required clearances, if needed).
