HDFS 3450 – Spring, 2017
Department of Human Sciences Human Development and Family Science Program Area HDFS 3450: Managing and Supporting Behavior in Social Contexts (3 credit hours) Instructor: Karen Crockett Contact Information: [email protected] Office Hours: TBA
1. Description/Rationale: This course examines strategies to help promote adaptive behavior in home,
school, and community contexts. Students will learn strategies for managing and preventing behavioral problems and develop an understanding of behavior management practices. Prerequisite: Soph, Jr, or Sr standing; or permission of instructor. Traditional approaches to discipline and guidance in classrooms focus on management techniques. In this course, a classroom as a community framework (modeled through Discussion Groups) is developed to support guidance and discipline as well as teaching and learning. Students will think critically about the complexity of behavior, reflecting on their values and beliefs about the relationships with the young children and families with whom they work. Positive and effective classroom communities minimize troubling behaviors. A proactive approach, sustained by interactive strategies, is the foundation of best practice.
2. Relationship to Other Courses/Curricula: This course is required for the Associate of Arts Degree in
Early Childhood Development and Education. It may also be used to satisfy degree requirements in other programs of study in the College of Education and Human Ecology.
3. Knowledge, Skills, and Dispositions: Candidates preparing to work with children as teachers or other
professional school personnel know and demonstrate the content, pedagogical, and professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to help all students learn.
Course Objectives
A. Understand and apply the interrelationship of the developmental domains (physical, emotional, social, and cognitive) to early childhood education. Foster both academic and social/emotional growth by encouraging an inclusive, democratic, engaging classroom structure.
B. Understand the goals, benefits, techniques and responsible uses of assessment. C. Develop a framework for viewing the classroom as a sociocultural community, exploring strategies to
hold individuals accountable to the group and the group accountable to the individual. D. Address problematic behaviors within the community, using developmentally appropriate guidance
techniques to support constructive behaviors, promote development, and encourage positive relationships
E. Collaborate with parents and others in the community to support students. F. Create a guidance policies document that provides a framework for your beliefs and goals about child
guidance and discipline.

In cases of emergency and/or documented illness students should contact instructor immediately so that alternate due dates can be determined. If you are experiencing other circumstances that prohibit you from completing your course work, please contact the Office of Student Life for counseling or other assistance. (refer to Mental Health Statement)
6. Course Assignments: Written assignments must be turned in via the drop box on Carmen (“word” document format, double-spaced). A rubric for each assignment is also provided, which details how points are earned for each assignment. Discussion groups take place on Canvas.
a. Observations – Each student must complete two separate observations of an early childhood setting, to record and then reflect on what they observe as it relates to this course. Specific information about requirement for observation sites, and for information required in each observation report is posted on Canvas.
b. Guidance Policy Document -- As students work through the content of this course, they will submit two draft sections of this Guidance Policy Document (drafts worth 10 points each). Each student will then turn in their complete Guidance Policy Document (40 pts.) incorporating feedback from drafts. See thorough description of this assignment posted on Canvas.
c. Weekly Discussion Groups – Each week students participate in discussions with others around topic-related tasks. The organized groups remain the same throughout the term. Timely participation is required each week.
As students have access to assignments and due dates throughout the term, with adequate time and opportunity to complete assigned work. No additional make-up or “bonus” work will be offered.
Adapted from EHE Curriculum Committee’s Syllabus 11 Parts document
7. Online Policies: Students will need consistent access to Canvas in order to be successful in this course. Weekly on-line participation is required. Content of the course is delivered in “word” documents and via powerpoints. Internet access is needed to view many of the videos included.
8. Communication policies: • The university’s official mode of communication is via university email. Students must
use their buckeyemail when emailing course instructor, and course instructor will use their OSU email when emailing students.
• Email is the preferred method of contact with instructor, and student can typically expect a reply within 48 hours. Students can also visit the course “coffee shop” set up on Canvas to chat with other students and/or the instructor. (see Netiquette below)
• When communicating electronically in any mode, please avoid using colors like red and green for accessibility reasons.
Netiquette: Here is a great source for netiquette guidelines: https://onlinelearning.rutgers.edu/faculty-resources/netiquette . Please use these policies to guide your communication both in Discussion Groups and in the “coffee shop”.
9. UNIVERSITY POLICIES Academic Integrity (Academic Misconduct) – Academic integrity in essential to maintaining an environment that fosters excellence in teaching, research, and other educational and scholarly activities. Thus, The Ohio State University and the Committee on Academic Misconduct (COAM) expect that all students have read and understand the University’s Code of Student Conduct, and that all students will complete all academic and scholarly assignments with fairness and honesty. Students must recognize that failure to follow the rules and guidelines established in the University’s Code of Student Conduct and this syllabus may constitute “Academic Misconduct.” The Ohio State University’s Code of Student Conduct (Section 3335-23-04) defines academic misconduct as: “Any activity that tends to compromise the academic integrity of the University, or subvert the educational process.” Examples of academic misconduct include (but are not limited to) plagiarism, collusion (unauthorized collaboration), copying the work of another student, and possession of unauthorized materials during an examination. Ignorance of the University’s Code of Student Conduct is never considered an “excuse” for academic misconduct, so I recommend that you review the Code of Student Conduct and, specifically, the sections dealing with academic misconduct.
If I suspect that a student has committed academic misconduct in this course, I am obligated by University Rules to report my suspicions to the Committee on Academic Misconduct. If COAM determines that you have violated the University’s Code of Student Conduct (i.e., committed academic misconduct), the sanctions for the misconduct could include a failing grade in this course and suspension or dismissal from the University.
If you have any questions about the above policy or what constitutes academic misconduct in this course, please contact me.
Other sources of information on academic misconduct (integrity) to which you can refer include: 1. The Committee on Academic Misconduct web pages (COAM Home) 2. Ten Suggestions for Preserving Academic Integrity (Ten Suggestions) 3. Eight Cardinal Rules for Academic Integrity
http://www.northwestern.edu/provost/policies/academic-integrity/index.html Office of Disability Services Statement: Any student who feels s/he may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact me privately to discuss your specific needs. Please contact the Office for Disability Services at 614-292-3307 in room 098 Baker Hall, 113 W. 12th Avenue to coordinate reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities.
Adapted from EHE Curriculum Committee’s Syllabus 11 Parts document
Diversity Statement: The College of Education and Human Ecology affirms the importance and value of diversity in the student body. Our programs and curricula reflect our multicultural society and global economy and seek to provide opportunities for students to learn more about persons who are different as age, color, disability, gender identity or expression, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status, is prohibited,
The College of Education and Human Ecology is committed to maintaining a community that recognizes and values the inherent worth and dignity of every person; fosters sensitivity, understanding, and mutual respect among its members; and encourages each individual to strive to reach his or her own potential. In pursuit of its goal of academic excellence, the College seeks to develop and nurture diversity, believing that it strengthens the organization, stimulates creativity, promotes the exchange of ideas, and enriches of the University’s community on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, age, national origin or ancestry, marital status, parental status, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability status, health status, health status, or veteran status.
Statement of Student Rights: “Any student with a documented disability who may require special accommodations should self-identify to the instructor as early in the semester as possible to receive effective and timely accommodations.” (http://ods.osu.edu/)
Grievances statement: According to University Policies, available from the Division of Student Affairs, if you have a problem with this class, “You should seek to resolve a grievance concerning a grade or academic practice by speaking first with the instructor or professor. Then, if necessary, with the department chairperson, college dean, and provost, in that order. Specific procedures are outlines in Faculty Rule 3335-7-23, which is available from the Office of Student Life, 208 Ohio Union.”
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Course Audio and Video Recording Video or audio recording of classes without the explicit written permission of the instructor/professor is a violation of the Code of Student Conduct or Students who wish to record their classes must first obtain written permission of the instructor/professor. Otherwise, such recording constitutes a violation of the Code of Student Conduct

Hello,
Your syllabus has been submitted to EHE EdTech for review using the Curriculum Committee’s approved QM Rubric and 11-Parts Checklist. Thank you for participating in a college-level informal QM syllabus review. The QM process aligns with the Instructional Design and Multimedia production goals we have set out to accomplish to support the college’s needs. Additionally, the QM process and alignment to our college courses are proposed within the College Strategic plan. The QM process and later QM approvals will be quite beneficial to the course, the department, and the college, since it measures quality online aspects. The EHE EdTech team looked at the syllabus purely from the QM Rubric perspective.
The complete 11-Parts of the Syllabus document can be found on the EHE Curriculum Committee website (http://ehe.osu.edu/assessment/governance/). Additionally, the reviewers have access to a more descriptive QM Rubric than what is represented here in the checklist. If you have completed QM’s APPQMR training, you have access to the same Annotated Rubric, but if you have not, the lead reviewer is happy to schedule an appointment to discuss the QM Rubric in more detail.
Please understand that this is a review based on your syllabus only and without consultation with you. Thus, it is an informal review and is to be used as a means to discuss meeting QM and the EHE Curriculum Committee standards.
Please see the legend the bottom of page 3 of the checklist to understand the markings in the right-hand margin of the checklist.
On page two, the highlighted standards indicate items that could be found in a syllabus, and are what the reviewers are looking for in your syllabus. On page three, there are no highlights, but all are expected by the Curriculum Committee to be present in your syllabus. A checkmark in the right-hand column indicates whether or not the item was located by the reviewer.
In the textbox in the right-hand column next to the checkmark, you will see an indication of the page(s) where the reviewer found the item. Following that, there may or may not be QM and/or CC. If you do not see QM and/or CC, it means the reviewer matched the available criteria to what was found in the syllabus. If you see QM and/or CC, the reviewer is indicating that there may be additional items needed or modified in the syllabus.
Please contact [email protected] to schedule a consultation to discuss the results of this informal syllabus review.
Thank you,
EHE EdTech
