CLASSROOM OBSERVATIONS

1. Classroom Overall: Types of overall behavioral, social, emotional, and executive functioning difficulties observed in the classroom overall.
2. Teaching Methods/Approaches: Proactive and prevention strategies and teaching approaches observed (such as reinforcement approaches, behavioral systems, effective teaching practices as learned in our course, how the teacher addresses incidences early in the acting out cycle before the problem escalates, etc.).
3. Adult & Child Interactions: Ways that the adults (teachers, paraprofessionals, aides, etc) respond to different types of student behavioral difficulties, social difficulties, and emotional difficulties.
4. Reflection: How does what you observed connect to what you have learned through your coursework in EDUC 385/685?
