Abstract

Elementary school teachers are held accountable for developing in their students a positive self concept, as well as providing the information and procedures for healthy living and social/environmental awareness. Elementary teachers must be aware of potentially harmful conditions, and they must be able to provide for the safety and physiological growth of their students. Understanding the importance of individual differences within the context of the classroom environment and accommodating for those differences in positive and meaningful ways are integral components of elementary teaching. This course is designed to prepare classroom teachers for implementing the necessary procedures for the students’ physical, emotional, and psychological well being.
