Knowledge of teaching and learning in educational contexts

Students will be introduced to the range of specialist behaviour settings from mainstream support to special classes, units, and schools both within education systems as well as those in conjunction with juvenile justice and mental health. A key component of the topic is the role of collaborative consultation and the interpersonal skills needed to work with teachers, parents and others to support behaviour change.

This topic aims to:

• explore the range of educational settings for students with behaviour problems and the strengths and weaknesses of each
• examine the role of action research and working with other staff on behaviour change
• explore the role of collaborative consultation and the interpersonal skills needed to work with teachers, parents and others to support behaviour change
• implement a behaviour improvement plan or an action research task in an educational setting

On completion of the topic students will be able to:

• analyse the ranges of educational settings available to students with behaviour problems
• analyse the interpersonal skills involved in working with teachers, parents and students in supporting behaviour change
• demonstrate the sequence and identify issues involved in the implementation of a positive behaviour plan or an action research project relating to students with behaviour problems
