To effectively help students with emotional and behavior disorders (EBD) be successful and reach their academic potential, teachers must understand the needs of these students and recognize own preconceived beliefs about them. This will enable teachers to develop effective interventions to help students become self-directed learners. 1.Define, in your own words, what it means to be a self-directed learner, and identify the characteristics and skills a self-directed learner must possess. 2.If the goal of education is to provide experiences that enable students to successfully take charge of their learning, what methods would you use in the classroom to provide students, at a specific grade level, with the knowledge, skills, and experiences to become self-directed learners? 3.What obstacles do you anticipate could make this process more difficult and how can you address them? 4. Discuss how key factors and underlying assumptions will affect your ability to identify behavior disorders and implement effective teaching practices that support the development of students as self-directed learners. 5. Describe a plan for how you support students with EBD in your classroom and analyze how your strategies will enable you to manage their behavior disorders.
