PDS 551 - Fostering Resiliency, Competency, and Safety: Effective Strategies for Teaching Struggling Students


This year long course will provide practicing teachers and school faculty the knowledge and skills that will assist in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of practical and effective strategies to address students’ social and emotional health and skill deficits, while fostering resiliency, competency, engagement and safety for all students in the classroom. Throughout the course, participants will be practicing social, communication, and classroom management skills that reflect best practice, build connection with all students/families and create an atmosphere of safety in order to address students’ barriers to academic, social and emotional growth. The complex needs of students presenting with chronic distress will be explored, as well as methods to bring relationship to the center of teaching without compromising academic integrity. Peer and instructor feedback sessions offer the opportunity to offer critical and supportive feedback while implementing identified changes to instructional and classroom management practices.
