Course description

This course provides pre-service teachers an opportunity to explore, practise, and reflect on a range of research-informed strategies for supporting student behaviour and promoting teacher and student wellbeing. Current research will be used to critique policies, frameworks, and practices used by schools to create and sustain positive learning environments. Preservice teachers will be provided with an opportunity to examine how to establish and enhance classroom climate, strategies to support student connectedness and engagement, and evidence-based and culturally responsive approaches to respond to and de-escalate student behaviour. Pre-service teachers will also be given an opportunity to explore multi-tiered systems of support including universal practices that work at the whole-school and classroom level, as well as targeted and intensive approaches that are effective for students who require additional support. Further, there will be a focus on how to build strong, ethical, equitable and respectful relationships with students, parents, and colleagues.
