This handbook has been updated to incorporate the PAF readers. This is needed to develop a deeper understanding of the nature and dynamics of complex adaptive systems, grounded in concrete examples and applications.Preventing Academic Failure Reading ProgramĪt the heart of this multisensory Orton-Gillingham method program is the Preventing Academic Failure (PAF) Teacher's Handbook. The CASS program promotes the development and testing of more robust theory and sophisticated methods in a wider array of research settings. Students will be fluent in the language of complexity while also ensuring they receive a solid foundation in the domain knowledge of existing academic disciplines.īy broadly embedding an understanding of complex adaptive system-relevant approaches into the practice of normal science, students will gain the ability to transform science.

The core courses are designed to provide students with methods and theory appropriate to the study of complex adaptive system science. The required core courses will bring students together in an integrated learning environment to form a cadre of diverse backgrounds. A minimum of 15 semester hours is required for a certificate in Complex Adaptive Systems Science or for a PhD Concentration.
