This course provides an overview of adolescent development issues and classroom management practices. Adolescent development is examined through research into major theorists in developmental psychology: Piaget, Vygotsky, and Erikson etc. Classroom management strategies are explicitly taught through case study analyses, and examination of core beliefs, focusing on interpersonal relationships between students, teachers, parents, mentors and supervisors.

As a result of coursework students will:
 * understand adolescent development issues and their implications for effective teaching


 * understand a range of classroom management strategies


 * assimilate new approaches to dealing with difficult students


 * learn to apply new problem solving schema for group dynamics


 * analyze personal values and beliefs as they influence teaching practices


 * understand how to include parents/guardians in the teaching learning dynamic


 * apply methodologies that will differentiate curricula for students with disabilities

The Graduate School of Education’s commitment to its guiding theme, “Education for Transformation” produces graduates who:
 * demonstrate excellent knowledge, judgment and skill in their professional fields;
 * promote equity of educational opportunity for all learners;
 * collaborate with other educators, parents, and community representatives to support educational excellence;
 * use inquiry and research to address educational challenges.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Our core beliefs inform how we speak to, respond to and deal with our students, their parents and the curriculum. Our ideas about how people learn influence our classroom management. They affect our behavior when we are in the role of teacher. Therefore, we need to examine those beliefs, ideas and philosophies.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Statement of Teaching Philosophy/Core Beliefs **

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">You are going to write a statement (900 words max) about how you believe teachers should teach based on what you believe about how students learn. These core beliefs are ever-evolving, and you are only taking a snapshot of what you think teaching and learning are about right now.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">You should include any psychological theories, pedagogical frameworks or academic influences that have shaped your ideas about education. You may also want to discuss philosophical schools of thought in your statement. I encourage you to rely on your personal experience. Lastly, be sure to describe how your thinking has changed over the years.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">You are going to have to think back to a teacher who you would consider to be a mentor. This person could be a teacher from any level of education. Recall how he or she inspired you, why this person had such a strong effect and why you consider this person to be a mentor. Consider his or her example as well as his or her message. Anecdotes are encouraged as long as they are brief and illustrative. Also include how you are different from your mentor in addition to describing how your mentor still influences your teaching today (even indirectly).

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Case Study Analysis is an educational tool that aims to simulate “real-life” situations and dilemmas faced by practitioners. Thus, cases bring into the university classroom the situational decision-making and problem solving required of teachers in actual school environments.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Case Study Analysis & Panel Discussion **

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">During this semester we will all read five “Case Studies” <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">(from [|__http://www.mhhe.com/airasian5e__] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> ) in which teachers deal with difficult issues and challenges. Each of these cases reads like a story and leaves the main character (and us) at the end of the story facing a dilemma and decision point. Thus it invites us to explore “real life” teaching situations. So, you will need to put yourself into the story as though you are the main character and try to make sense of it.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Each of you will be required to write an analysis of one out of the five cases. Then, you will sit on a panel that addresses the situation of that case. The panel will act as experts in problem-solving for the class. The class will ask questions and discuss the case.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Give your response a “title.” Your response should address the following questions:


 * 1) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What do you see as the central issue (from your perspective) that is driving the situation; also describe any additional satellite issues?
 * 2) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What are some specific, plausible <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">__options__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> for action (and possible implications) the main character in the case might take in the situation as described as the story closes?
 * 3) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What can we learn from this case for our classroom teaching?

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">HOW THIS WILL BE GRADED?
 * 1) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How well did you describe the central issue and secondary issues in your paper?
 * 2) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How well did you explain the options and their implications in your paper?

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Each student will write a response, reacting to one article.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Article Review or Panel Discussion **

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Responses should be thoughtfully focused and address these questions:
 * 1) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">For you, what was the most powerful idea(s) in the article? Describe at least one; not more than two. Use brief quotes from the article to clearly identify the idea.
 * 2) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Describe an example of how you see these ideas applying to a: person, a program, an event, an anecdote, an assignment, a teaching strategy, or an opportunity.
 * 3) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What questions do you have for the author?

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Each response will also require a follow up panel discussion in class on the topics covered in the case study.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">HOW THIS WILL BE GRADED?

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Each of you will be assigned one psychological theory that relates to adolescent development. Your task is to present what this theory is, who developed it and describe how it works. Use clips from the show THE WIRE to illustrate examples of this theory at work. You will have only 10-15 minutes to present the theory and play a relevant video. The class will discuss implications for teaching immediately following your presentation, during a 5-10 minute discussion.

Then you will be given a copy of an individualized education program. Your task as a group will be to read the iep and develop a plan that demonstrates how you would (as teachers) differentiate instruction to include the student with the disability in the lesson.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">5. Your report must include a learning activity that this student can benefit from, one that does not isolate him or deprive him of the skills and content of the class.
 * 1) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Individually, read the iep taking notes about-- what the child’s disability is--and how it affects how she learns in class.
 * 2) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Note the accommodations that must be made for this student for instruction and assessment.
 * 3) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Get into groups to discuss the iep.
 * 4) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">As a group, write a brief report that you will read to the class about: who the child is, what his disability is, how it affects his ability to learn in your class and what you are going to do about it. (You will need to divide up roles: writer, presenter, leader etc.)

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">HOW WILL THIS BE GRADED?

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">You will be grouped in your content areas, again, during class time. You will be given a student profile or iep to read and discuss with your group. Then, you will develop a preparation plan for a parent teacher conference of up to 10 minutes. One member of the group will write the plan, another will lead the group, a third will play the role of teacher. A fourth member will play the part of parent.
