Particular focus is given to self-monitoring strategies, teaching social skills, and balancing extrinsic and intrinsic rewards. The course is designed for regular and special education teachers. Conceptual Framework: The conceptual framework of Benedictine College’s education program, both undergraduate and graduate, is built upon the theme, “Educators as Builders of Community.” It calls for pre-service teachers and pre-service educational administrators to perceive their roles in education as developers of community. The community is within the place called school as well as outside of its walls. Within this structure, goals for all education programs include: 1. To build community within schools and classrooms so that students and teachers make personally meaningful choices, communicate and collaborate with others, think critically and conceptually, and act justly. 2. To actively involve the community as part of the educational process. 3. To pursue outcomes that enable students, in the 1300 year tradition of Benedictine monasticism, to become builders of community. Specific Course Outcomes and Objectives This course is designed to enable teacher education program candidates to use an understanding of individual and group motivation to create a learning environment that encourages positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation.

Two rubrics attached Special Accommodations Clause: Any student in this course with a disability that prevents the fullest expression of his/her abilities should contact me personally so we may discuss the appropriate accommodations necessary to complete the course requirements. 2 Instructional Methods: Instructional methods in this course, evaluation of student work, and intended course outcomes have been aligned to serve our program goals. Course instructional methods will include lecture/ interaction, large group discussions, and small group collaboration in applying course principles to educational situations. Course Evaluation: Activity Percentage of Final Grade Attendance and Participation 15% Personal Classroom Management Model 15% Management Technique Scenarios (2 @ 8% each) 16% Quizzes 27% Final Exam 27% Total 100% Assignments and Activities: 1. Attendance and Participation: Expectations for attendance and participation are high for this course. Please notify the instructor in advance when you will be absent. The quality of your participation in class activities and discussions, and your willingness to participate in such discussions will be evaluated for grading purposes. 2. Personal Classroom Management Model: An 8-10 page paper responding to the question, “How will you as a beginning teacher, use your knowledge of student motivation and behavior, and of yourself to create a learning environment that encourages positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation?” A rubric for the evaluation of your model follows. This paper is the one artifact from ED 462 that will be placed in your Professional Portfolio. It will be evaluated with two rubrics. One rubric will be used in determining your grade for the paper. The second rubric, the Standardized Artifact Rubric (SAR) will be used in determining the artifact’s evaluation for your Professional Portfolio. This paper should be single-spaced within paragraphs, th and double-spaced between paragraphs. It is due September 11 at 1:00 pm. 3. Management Technique Scenario: The class has been divided into four teams for the purpose of this activity. Each team will present two techniques/ strategies/ tactics/ models to the class in a scenario format. In each scenario, one of the members of your team will be the teacher and the other team members and the rest of the class will be students (or parents/ administrators as needed). Introduce the scenario by explaining to the class the technique that is going to be demonstrated, its strengths and weaknesses, and situations/ teachers or students for whom the technique would or would not be effective. The “teacher” will then start the scenario by teaching for 1-2 minutes (quality of the lesson will be included in your evaluation) at the end of which some student misbehavior will occur. Show the teacher effectively using the technique/ strategy to deal with the misbehavior. Finally, summarize information about the technique with a brief closing statement. Some of these techniques can be demonstrated fairly briefly, others may require 10-15 minutes. Team assignments, technique assignments, and the rubric used for evaluating these scenarios follow. Each member of the team will receive the same grade for each scenario (unless a member is absent). 4. Quizzes: Quiz dates will not be announced in advance; they will occur at between two and seven class sessions. 5. Final Exam: This will be administered on Friday, September 20th. It will be comprehensive. 3 6. Student Teacher Case Study Presentations: Lead the class in a 2-3 minute discussion of student teaching scenarios. Your grade for this presentation will be determined by: a) extent to which other class members are involved (feel free to call on them), b) effectiveness of your communication (i.e. use of gestures, voice, proximity, etc.) and c) time (no more than 3 minutes).
