EDU5001 | Success with Challenging Youth | ||
SCHOOL OF EDUCATION | |||
Credit Points: 15 | |||
Description: | |||
Youth with emotional and behavioural problems are frequently seen as “challenging” by their families, friends and educational systems. This is due to behaviours they exhibit which may include defiance of authority, anti-social acts, aggression, and disengagement with school. Although educational and societal institutions are good intentioned in addressing challenging youths’ needs, the interventions do not always meet the needs of the young people. This unit introduces research-based strategies that can be used effectively with challenging youth. The strategies are embedded in resilience research, positive youth development and strength based approaches, which recognise the strengths of challenging youth. Learning in this unit is theory based, interactive, and provides practical skill development in working with challenging youth. Full Unit Outline | |||
