School Based Interventions

Catalog description

Founded on a decision-making and accountability model, this course provides training in the investigation of theoretical and applied issues relevant to the design, implementation, and evaluation of academic, behavioral, and social-emotional interventions for students in schools. Emphasis will be placed on the linking of assessment to intervention design for the purpose of identifying interventions that are functionally relevant and fit the context in which they are implemented. Students will review various empirically validated intervention procedures to address student needs at the school-wide, small group/classroom, and individual levels and determine the effectiveness and efficacy of those interventions. Prerequisites: PSY/ SPED 535 .
