EDUC 7083 - Supporting Behaviour in Inclusive Classrooms

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2025

This course is designed to equip educators with the knowledge and skills necessary to create a positive and productive classroom environment that promotes learning. There is a focus on understanding the factors that influence student behaviour, implementing proactive strategies to prevent behaviour issues, effectively managing challenging behaviours when they arise, and working collaboratively with key stakeholders (including the student if appropriate). Educators will explore behavioural theories and research, gaining insights into contributors to student behaviour, including social, emotional, cognitive, and environmental factors. They will learn to recognise the importance of creating a supportive and inclusive classroom culture that promotes productive behaviour and fosters a sense of belonging among students. Educators will also be introduced to evidence-based strategies for promoting productive student behaviour, including establishing clear expectations, providing positive reinforcement, and teaching self-regulation and problem-solving skills. They will learn how to differentiate instruction and support to meet the diverse needs of students, including those with identified behavioural challenges. Educators will have the opportunity to critically reflect on their own practices related to supporting productive student behaviour and continue to develop their PoPP inquiry. They will reflect upon the status of their inquiries and develop further action plans for implementing inclusive strategies in their classrooms.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
