EDU 649 - Counseling Skills for Classroom Teachers (3)

A course which explores strategic counseling tools and practices to assist the classroom teacher in managing personal/social issues and crisis-oriented events in children’s lives. Behavioral interventions that work in conjunction with group dynamics, classroom curriculum and management are also addressed. Key themes include social development, educational achievement and the development of school-to-work ethic, including classroom climate, managing transition times/places, and strategies to develop empathetic understanding. Participants also identify classroom issues to discuss and explore options for their resolution. Community resources, case studies, and behavioral interventions that are specific to teacher experiences are presented. Participants develop plans of intervention, resource guides for classroom use, and read and report on current literature appropriate for counseling use in the classroom.
