COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course focuses on the continuing development of classroom management techniques and teaching skills for secondary teacher candidates. Included are observations and models in management used in the education and guidance of secondary students. The course must be taken concurrently with EDUC 4901. Unit Conceptual Framework The unit s vision is to become a 21st-century regional teacher education preparation program of choice. We firmly believe that our teacher candidates, as they enter the classroom, will have the self-efficacy to appropriately apply their professional content and pedagogical knowledge in a variety of teaching contexts (Gorrell & Capron, 1990). The unit will accomplish this vision by closely working with our public school partners. Through sharing in the preparation of teacher candidates, we will produce teachers who are ready to enter the teaching field demonstrating competence, collaboration, caring, and reflection to build effective classroom environments to support all learners (Eisner, 2005; Gardner; 1985; Lezotte, 1997). Course Content This course is designed to provide undergraduate education students with a developmental

2 understanding of the concepts and procedures for developing classroom management procedures for secondary students. The evaluation for this course is structured so that assignments correlate with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary for students to understand and to demonstrate satisfactory proficiency in managing secondary content courses. At the completion of this course, students will have demonstrated professional competencies at an appropriate transition point level commensurate with both the GFT (Georgia Framework for Teaching) and the DSC School of Education Conceptual Framework: Competent, Collaborative, Caring, and Reflective. The seminar will also address INTASC Principle Number 6: Communication & Technology: The teacher uses knowledge of effective verbal, nonverbal, and media communication techniques to foster active inquiry, collaboration, and supportive interaction in the classroom, and the classroom management portion of the course will address INTASC Principle Number 5: Motivation & Management.

EMERGENCY INSTRUCTIONAL PLAN: MAY 3, 2014 If the college is closed for inclement weather or other conditions, please consult the course calendar that I gave you at the beginning of the semester and complete the assigned readings and assignments. Then, check your email for additional assignments, activities, and due dates. If it is not possible for me to email you additional assignments because of loss of power, please write a summary of the assigned reading, complete all exercises within the chapter, and bring them to the next class. If conditions allow, I will load a PowerPoint of the missed lecture in DSConnect, and I will be available to answer questions through email. Compensatory make-up days may be required if the total number of days lost exceeds the equivalent of one week of class time. This Emergency Instructional Plan will allow the instructional hours to count toward the credit hours earned by the student. School placement hours will be made up accordingly. LATE WORK/MAKE-UP POLICY: Work is due on the date and time as specified in the weekly course calendar in class. An absence does not change an assignment s due date. Late work will not be accepted without approval by the instructor. If a student is absent, it is his/her responsibility to get any missed work done and submit the assignment(s) prior to the day and time due. Quality work, high expectations, and

6 meeting deadlines are standards reflected in the teaching profession. If you are to miss a field placement visit, you must contact the mentor teacher and the professor at least 24 hours in advance. CHEATING AND/OR POOR CONDUCT: The College Catalog, which contains the Student Handbook, addresses the topics of dishonest and disruptive behavior; in short, DSC does not tolerate violations of the student code of conduct. Violations will be documented and enforced according to the DSC Student Handbook. These events can result in expulsion, prosecution, and/or may result in no credit for the course. Additionally, any violations of the code of ethics for educators will be subject to college and GAPSC standards. Professional Behavior Throughout the professional literature, it is documented that effective teachers are knowledgeable, responsible, enthusiastic, energetic, interactive, cooperative, attentive, participatory, and have a sense of efficacy. These same professional behaviors will be expected of students enrolled in this course. School of Education faculty will utilize the Assessment of Professional Behaviors and Dispositions (APBD) when necessary to encourage and support students in developing and exhibiting professional attitudes and dispositions within college classroom setting. The APBD is used by exception only to assess and document Teacher Candidate s behaviors and professional dispositions during in-class settings after less direct means have failed to result in improvement. Should it become necessary to implement the In-Class APBD, the professor will meet privately with the student to discuss and document behaviors and dispositions that are of concern. PLAGIARISM (Academic Honesty Statement): Students are expected to adhere to the highest standards of academic honesty. Plagiarism occurs when a student uses or purchases ghostwritten papers or materials. It also occurs when a student utilizes the ideas or information obtained from another person without giving credit to that person. If plagiarism or another act of academic dishonesty occurs, it will be reported to the Office of Student Affairs. Refer to the Academic Irregularities Section of the Student Handbook in the Dalton State College catalogue. Plagiarism or dishonesty may result in failure of the course. COURSE CALENDAR: Please see the attached course calendar. Read ahead, do assigned work, and keep up. However, note that this calendar may be amended as needed. OFFICE HOURS: Tuesday (10:45 a.m.-12:00 p.m. & 4:15-5:30); Thursday (10:45 a.m.-12:00 p.m. & 3:30-5:45) or by Appointment ATTENDANCE POLICY: Important Note: Students are solely responsible for managing their enrollment status in a class;

7 nonattendance does not constitute a withdrawal. Attendance will be taken every class (face-to-face) and is a component of assessment for the course. Students are expected to arrive on time and stay until class is dismissed. If you arrive late, it is your responsibility to see the instructor after class to make sure you are counted present/tardy. If you are not in class, you cannot participate in discussions or in-class assignments. Your grade may be impacted if you miss class assignments, quizzes or the opportunity to turn in assignments on time. Two (2) absences in classes that meet 1 day per week and 4 absences in classes that meet 2 days per week (2 tardies/early dismissals = 1 absence) may warrant a deduction in a letter grade. Excused absences due to court, military duty, maternity and/or family leave, or a student's documented medical treatment will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis per Dalton State College policy. If you must miss a class it is YOUR responsibility to find out what you missed. Please use the discussion tool on Desire2Learn or get the name and contact information of a class member to provide you with information on what you missed. DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES: June 19, 2014 Students with disabilities or special needs are encouraged to contact Disability Support Services. In order to make an appointment or to obtain information on the process for qualifying for accommodations, the student should visit the Disability Support Services Library Guide http://libguides.daltonstate.edu/disability or contact the Coordinator of Disability Support Services. Contact information: Andrea Roberson, Coordinator Pope Student Center, lower level 706/272-2524 aroberson@daltonstate.edu DROP/WITHDRAWAL POLICY: Revised June 25, 2014 Students wishing to withdraw from the course may do so without penalty until the mid-point of the semester, and a grade of W will be assigned. After that point, withdrawal without penalty is permitted only in cases of extreme hardship as determined by the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Otherwise, a grade of WF will be issued. (Please note: At Dalton State College, the Hardship Withdrawal process requires students to withdraw from all classes at the college). The proper form for dropping a course or for withdrawing from the college is the Schedule Adjustment Form, which may be obtained at the Enrollment Services Office in Westcott Hall. The Schedule Adjustment Form must be submitted to the Enrollment Services Office. Students who leave, completing neither the official withdrawal procedure nor the course work, will receive a grade of F. This instructor will not withdraw students from the class. Withdrawal from any Dalton State College classes is a student responsibility. The last day to drop classes without penalty is March 17, 2016. TITLE IX: Sex Discrimination, Harassment, & Assault Sexual harassment is unwelcome, gender-based verbal or physical conduct that is sufficiently

8 severe, persistent or pervasive that it has the effect of interfering with, denying or limiting someone s ability to participate in or benefit from the college s educational program and/or activities, and is based on power differential (quid pro quo), the creation of a hostile environment, or retaliation. Sexual misconduct is a form of sexual harassment prohibited by Title IX.
