Description: VESi/ Online Class; INSTRUCTOR: Kaplan. You can register for this course anytime between Sept. 1 - Dec. 31, 2009 and work at your own pace. Developed as an alternative to traditional behavior modification approaches to changing student behavior. Although the course discusses and supports several behavior modification techniques, it goes beyond the boundaries of this approach. Teaches how to assist students in retaining their thinking so they may break old thought patterns that lead to many aberrant behaviors. Teaches how to motivate students to be their own agents of change. Teaches teachers how to train students to recognize, evaluate, and respond to difficult interpersonal, classroom, school, and social situations with limited outside intervention. When students learn how to retrain their negative thought process and become better problem solvers, it takes the pressure of remediation off the teacher and places it on the student where it belongs.
