It provides much more detailed and extensive information than any other course I have ever done before, as well as a comprehensive framework to deal with many of the difficulties and problems within the schools.

It is indeed a very good course for basic understanding in very easy delivery of lectures and with lots of support materials for those who want to study and know more. This has definitely enriched me in spite of being in the education sector for more than 32 years as a teacher, mentor and as a Principal. I have a daughter who was diagnosed ADHD in class VII before that she was regarded as fidgety and mischievous and late intervention lead to additional problems like Trichtilomania and obesity. But now after understanding her problem and with support from teachers, counseller and psychiatrist, she had completed her school with good grades, topped her university school of Creative and Cultural expressions, grown up into a very creative, social, amicable lady establishing herself as a Quiz Master and blog writer. She is now a 28 years old and an excellent human being. Thanks to all my teachers in this course. I would love to be a mentor in this course as I see the students of this course are from different countries and cultures which sometimes I could relate to because the laws and resources mentioned in this course are basically for American students. Every country has different laws and systems. Anyway, knowledge is always good. Hope we would be able to implement as much as we have learnt.
Thank you all once again, Namaskar from Mrs. Aditi Basu Roy, Noida, India

VERy important information. However, quizzes seemed to test memory rather than critical thinking, If you misspell a word or provide an original response yo will be marked WRONG.

Didn't find the materials, presentations, and case studies conducive to learning. It seemed the instructors were only reading everything they presented; it was awkward and utterly boring. Moreover, the types of quizzes provided in this course sucked; they demanded memorization instead of promoting critical thinking. The fill-in-the-blanks items requiring the exact terms (e.g., tracking information vs gathering information) were the worse. Situational questions promoting discussions and critical thinking could have been provided to assess learnings. Simulations could have also been added. Further, presentations could have been made visually engaging.

Hello!
I am a student of the Russian University of Perm, and I am studying for a master's degree in the specialty "Social Work".
It is worth saying that the course is very informative and interesting for me personally as a foreign student, because I was able to see the differences in approaches to supporting students in their social, emotional, behavioral and educational problems. Now I will know a little more about US social policy.
Objectively, I would like to say that I have become a fan of the activities of the US social services, since the methods are at the highest level of implementation.
I really liked the implemented cases with Kelsey and Javier, which allowed us to practically curb the described methods of assistance.
I also express my gratitude to the teachers of the course. I note that they are real experts in their field and their speech has always been easy to understand.

This was a very beneficial course. I want to thank those who constructed it and worked so hard to bring it on-line.
One issue that I have had with all Cousera Courses is that there are almost no current posts in the Discussion boards. I don't believe that learning takes place in a vacuum. Ideas are best when they can be expressed and shared.
I have taken other classes where part of the grade (10%) consists of how the learner participates in discussions. That would be very helpful for Coursera.

Beautifully in-depth discussions on students social, emotional and behavioural mental and physical health and how to assess and address it. I enjoyed and appreciated the inclusion of two example students used as point of referral consistently from start to finish; that helped me to apply the work nicely and gain good insight on all the information I was absorbing.

I seriously recommend this course to any teacher or person who has a genuine interest in special education but is yet to complete a degree program. The course isn't too heavy to handle all at once but you still get the key point needed for the particular topic and the exams are set up to garantee you a pass mark.. It's and excelente!!!!!!!!! for me.

Educators need intense understanding of social and emotional skills to be successful in their profession. Many learners need support to reach the height of their potential and only well informed educators can take them there. It's beyond the cognitive skill! Otherwise you'll only be literate but uneducated.
