Instructions:
Identify two mental health conditions and explain their impact on learning and classroom behavior.
Discuss two strategies teachers can use to support students with these conditions.
Then, write a 2–3 page, double spaced reflection on how these strategies align with culturally responsive and trauma-informed practices.
Please include in-text citations (use your textbooks) and a reference page that complies with APA 7th ed. Guidelines.
From The Behavior Code by Minahan & Rappaport, read the chapters that correspond to the two mental health conditions you select:
○ Ch. 3: Get Away from Me! The Student with Anxiety–Related Behavior
○ Ch. 4: You’re Not the Boss of Me! The Student with Oppositional Behavior
○ Ch. 5: I Don’t Care: The Student with Withdrawn Behavior
○ Ch. 6: I Didn’t Mean To…: The Student with Sexualized Behavior
Google is your friend (specifically, Google Scholar)! Do a bit of research on how these behaviors can impact student learning and their behaviors in the classroom. Doing so will support and add extra research to the Minahan & Rappaport text. Some keywords to aid you in your search:
● “[mental health condition] and academic learning”
● “learning and behavior and [mental health condition]”
● “how [mental health condition] impacts behavior/learning in the classroom”
