EDUC 592 Theories of Learning and Management
This course is designed as a higher-ordered study of intertwined and varied theoretical perspectives on learning, cognition, student engagement, motivation, and behavior management of learners. Participants will study how traumatic events can impact the cognition, social-emotional development and behaviors of learners. Participants will better understand how to make instructional decisions as a teacher leader for the unique needs of learners (e.g. learning styles, multiple intelligences, emotional intelligences) that support the development of self-directed learning. Research on effective classroom management approaches is completed through the lens of a teacher-leader prepared to use ethical decision making and inclusive practices in classroom and school campus settings.
