Overview

These microcredentials will provide you with an opportunity to acquire advanced knowledge and skills that will equip you to better manage potentially stressful and confronting classroom environments and individual students who may be unpredictable and uncooperative. Offered through the Faculty of Education and Arts' Learning and Leadership Enterprise (LLE), each microcredential is delivered via a sequence of online modules, discussion sessions and SimLab simulations over a 5-6 week period.

The two microcredentials you will explore are:

·      UNMC501: Proactive Engagement with Confronting Behaviour

Following completion of these microcredentials, you may be eligible for credit into the Master of Education and Graduate Certificate in Education for the elective EDTS550 Managing Confronting Behaviours and Critical Incidents in Educational Settings. Students will also be able to apply for credit in other postgraduate courses as approved by the course coordinator.
