1 COURSE SYLLABUS Engaging Youth in Groups Spring 2014 Professor: Jenell Holstead, Ph.D. Office: UWGB - MAC C321 holsteaj@uwgb.edu Phone: Credits: Course Number: Schedule: Location: Three Undergraduate Credits EDUC 495-2, section 7800 (#0137DU) This asynchronous online course begins January 27 and ends March 16, 2014 ONLINE COURSE EMPHASIS This course will explore the dynamics of working with children in group settings in Expanded Learning Opportunities (ELOs). It will look at the development of relationships between after school staff and children, between children, and how a working knowledge of children can support engagement. This course will also inform students of strategies for positive behavior guidance. Additionally, this course serves as the second course for the Wisconsin Registry s After School and Youth Development credential. The Registry develops professional credentials to meet the unique needs of childhood care and education practitioners. To receive the After School and Youth Development credential, a student must enroll in 4 three-credit courses including: Foundations in After School and Youth Development, Engaging Youth in Groups, Intentionality in Programming, and Capstone Course: Site Programming and Operations. After completing necessary coursework, students apply to the registry to receive their credential. For more information go to: COURSE RATIONAL The amount of out-of-school time programs that are provided to school-aged youth continues to grow. In fact, research on Expanded Learning Opportunities (ELO) recognizes that learning can occur outside of the traditional school day. As such, it is imperative that those who work in out-ofschool time programs understand key components of quality programming in order to maximize the academic, social, and emotional benefits of students participating in such programs. Students who take this course may be of two different backgrounds: 1) Students may be program staff who currently work in after school settings who are seeking professional development, or 2) Students may include traditional students seeking undergraduate degrees in areas of education or human development. In either case, this course helps ensure that those individuals who work in after school settings, or who may work in after school settings in the future, are educated regarding the most up-to-date information and research on out-of-school time programs. educationoutreach@uwgb.edu Website: 1
2 COURSE DESCRIPTION This course explores the dynamics of working with children and youth ages 5 to 12 in groups and group settings in Expanded Learning Opportunities (ELOs). Examination of program and group relationship factors that support or inhibit positive adult-to-youth and peer-to-peer relationships will occur. Students will develop knowledge and skills for designing program spaces, using multiple grouping formats in programs, facilitating group activities, fostering youth social skills and peer relationships, using positive guidance techniques, and leadership techniques promoting youth choice and active participation. COURSE OBJECTIVES Participants will explain how adult leadership, relational youth work, and guidance behaviors foster and impact the development of youth and youth groups in school-age afterschool settings. Participants apply group theory to school-age activity and peer groups in informal learning environments to understand group dynamics and foster optimal group engagement. Participants explain how common developmental peer relationship tasks, skills, and characteristics associated with middle childhood (5 to 12) inform positive adult leader behaviors, group facilitation, and program design of school-age afterschool settings. Participants will demonstrate the ability to structure and design afterschool program spaces based on principles of community and youth engagement. Participants acquire a repertoire of cooperative and group activities and develop group facilitation skills to effectively engage youth in group leadership, employ multiple group structures, and manage group processes.

Module 1 Weekly Assignment (due 2/2/14) First, write a 2-3 page paper comparing and contrasting ways to structure and assign youth to classrooms or activity groups for a year-long afterschool youth program.

This component of the assignment will be the ideal scenario (that is you are not bound by resources, space, or staffing issues). Second, you will respond to an imaginary scenario provided to you (which will be more of a realistic situation), and you will design a weekly schedule for an afterschool youth program serving 80 children ranging in age from 5 to 12 with only a cafeteria, library, and one classroom available. The weekly schedule should include a brief (1 page) justification as to why you grouped students the way you did. educationoutreach@uwgb.edu Website: 5
