LVT Design - Ways To Deal With MisbehaviorLVT Design
The document discusses strategies for dealing with student misbehavior. It recommends remaining calm and not escalating situations. Specifically, it suggests taking misbehaving students aside privately to address issues, making clear the behavior not the child is the problem, and avoiding engaging with tactics meant to provoke a reaction. Positive strategies include using visual and verbal cues, proximity control, and logical consequences focused on the misbehavior. Teachers should avoid illogical consequences, embarrassment, lecturing, judgment, and holding grudges.
The document discusses strategies for promoting children's social emotional development and addressing challenging behaviors. It emphasizes building positive relationships, designing supportive environments, and directly teaching social emotional skills to children. Specific strategies include using visual schedules and supports, giving positive feedback, involving children in developing rules and routines, and focusing on prevention through teaching appropriate skills rather than punishment.
The document discusses how creative curriculum is based on educational psychology theories like Erikson, Maslow, Piaget, Smilansky, and Vygotsky's theories of child development. It provides examples of how creative curriculum aligns with stages of development and allows children to learn through play, social interaction, and having their basic needs met. The conclusion reiterates that creative curriculum effectively applies research on child development and learning to create an environment where children can grow cognitively and socially.
This document outlines 8 steps to positive discipline for children: 1) model good behaviors, 2) establish rules and age-appropriate consequences, 3) use logical consequences, 4) don't threaten consequences you won't follow through on, 5) be consistent in enforcing consequences, 6) give children choices when possible, 7) use timers to gamify chores, and 8) use behavior charts with stickers to reinforce good behavior. The steps emphasize setting clear expectations, following through with consequences, and positively motivating children.
Increasing Our Efficiency in Giving Rewards to StudentsCarmen Y. Reyes
This document provides guidance on implementing effective reinforcement programs to modify student behavior. It recommends: 1) selecting one target behavior and time period to focus on initially, 2) involving the student in identifying rewards, 3) clearly linking rewards to the desired behavior, and 4) praising and rewarding desired behaviors specifically and frequently to reinforce them. Key steps include identifying rewards, setting up a reward system, discussing the target behavior with the student, carefully observing and praising good behavior, and modifying the plan if needed based on student progress. The goal is to help the student understand and achieve the target behavior through positive reinforcement.

Do you understand the reason behind your child’s behavior? Many parents and teachers fail to understand the in-depth reason behind a child’s behavior. It is not the fault of you or the child. The child fails to express and you fail to read between the silences. We get so busy and machine types that we face failure to adapt our coaching techniques as per the situation.
Becky Wittig Finding Success With The Odyssey Studentglennrmoses
The document provides guidance for parents to help their students succeed. It recommends that parents 1) set short and long-term goals, understand their child's learning levels, and teach to their modalities. 2) Study their child's learning style which can be auditory, visual, or tactile/kinesthetic. 3) Create a schedule that considers the child's most productive times and experiments with break types and frequencies. Positive encouragement and avoiding competition are also advised to motivate the student.
The educator reflects that their strengths include making correct decisions when disciplining children, having patience when children need time to accept limits, and building good relationships with children through positive communication and genuine care. To improve, the educator will bring more toys to avoid fights, use redirection strategies by offering choices, record observations of social skills, and have a colleague observe interactions to reflect on how their personality impacts guiding children.

Bringing reflective guidance to your classroomblantoncd
The document discusses eight themes for bringing reflective guidance to the classroom: self-reflection, individualizing experiences, enhancing goodness-of-fit, creating a positive classroom atmosphere, teaching life skills through everyday activities, viewing challenging behaviors as opportunities to build skills, targeting specific skills through intentional activities, and building relationships. It provides guidance on implementing these themes, such as observing children to understand their strengths and needs, planning activities to target specific social-emotional skills, and developing relationships with children and their families.
Assessment, planning and evaluation in PlaycentreDalene Mactier
This resource provides guidance on using stories to assess learning at Playcentre. Stories are a powerful way to reflect on and share understandings of children's learning. Different types of stories can be used including learning snippets, Learning Stories, group stories, and reflection stories. Effective assessment involves observing children, understanding their learning, and responding to support further learning. Playcentres develop daily routines like discussions to document and make sense of children's learning. Assessment aims to understand children as competent learners and shape future learning opportunities. Documentation makes the learning visible for children, families, and the Playcentre community.
The document outlines key considerations for lesson planning in the areas of assessment for learning (AfL), behavior management, challenge, deeper learning, and student engagement. Each section lists questions teachers should ask themselves to ensure their lesson plans effectively address that area. For example, for AfL it suggests planning assessments to check different students' progress throughout the lesson and ensure feedback is acted on. For behavior, it prompts checking seating plans and group organization. And for engagement, it recommends capturing student interest through varied activities and pacing.
Positive Approaches to managing Behaviour in the Early yearsSammy Fugler
This document provides guidance for staff at Rainbow Nursery on addressing challenging behaviors. It emphasizes establishing clear expectations and a positive learning environment. It outlines types of unwanted behaviors like disengaged, disruptive and unacceptable and suggests strategies for responding, including distraction, eye contact, and moving a child. The document stresses the importance of responding positively, reviewing strategies, and helping children understand their behavior is their choice to develop self-control.
The document discusses five motivational theories or concepts that were taught in an education course: 1) Self-determination theory - students are motivated when they feel autonomy and in control; 2) Goal theory - social goals can positively or negatively impact motivation; 3) Ice-breaker activities increase motivation by helping students get to know each other; 4) Expectancy-value theory - motivation increases when students value classroom activities; 5) Goal theory - setting goals motivates students to work towards meeting personal goals.
The document discusses Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) as an approach to helping children with behavioral challenges. It describes CPS as a process where adults and children work together to resolve problems and teach skills in a mutually agreeable way. The key aspects of CPS are identified as Plan A, where adults impose their will; Plan B, the collaborative problem solving approach; and Plan C, dropping all expectations. Plan B is recommended as a three-step approach involving empathy, defining the problem, and jointly inviting solutions. CPS aims to reduce challenging behaviors by solving problems, teaching skills, and building helping relationships between adults and children.
1. The document provides strategies for dealing with challenging behavior, including establishing clear expectations, creating a positive learning environment, and using consistent frameworks.
2. It recommends using ground rules and positive language to encourage good behavior, and ensuring activities are engaging for children.
3. Praise should be given quickly and consistently while explaining to children why they are being praised. Setting age-appropriate expectations and responding to unwanted behavior calmly are also discussed.

This presentation was given by Sammy Fugler, Day Care Director at Rainbow Nursery, Tel Aviv in October and December 2019. It sets out a framework for early years practitioners to support behaviour in early years settings, specially relevant to 3 - 5 year olds.
This document discusses relationship-based guidance and reflective practice in early childhood education. It covers topics such as developmental appropriateness, cultural sensitivity, the importance of respectful relationships between educators and children, and reframing thinking to respond to behaviors in a positive way. Educators are encouraged to engage in self-awareness activities to evaluate their own temperaments, motivations, and patterns of interaction in order to better meet the individual needs of each child.
Promoting student achievement through positive reinforcementjaydet50993
The document discusses how positive reinforcement can promote student achievement. It provides three credible sources that studied the effects of positive reinforcement and praise in classrooms. All three sources found that positive behavior and academic performance improved when teachers consistently used praise and positive reinforcement like rewards. The document also discusses how positive reinforcement works based on operant conditioning theories and the author's own experience being positively reinforced as a student.

The document provides information about quality improvement initiatives for early childhood programs in New Mexico. It announces that the current quality rating and improvement system, called AIM HIGH, is being phased out and replaced by a new system called FOCUS by January 1, 2018. Programs have until this deadline to transition to the new criteria under FOCUS. It also notes that 5-star accredited programs' accrediting agencies may no longer be recognized after this date, so they must transition to a new accrediting body or apply to participate in FOCUS. The document provides contact information for programs to learn more about FOCUS and apply. It also lists upcoming trainings on FOCUS and other topics to support programs in strengthening quality.

Authentic Assessment Methods
In this chapter, you will encounter several alternative, or authentic, methods of assessment and will experience firsthand their teacher-friendly attributes. Before beginning, however, it is important to note that just as with standardized tests, there are precautions to take and shortcomings to guard against. Thus, when you engage in any of these authentic methods, you should keep the following points in mind:
Avoid making assumptions about the child or children you observe. Do your best to keep your mind neutral during observational and other methods.
Take care when using descriptive words. They can be biased, just when you should be neutral.
Do not label children, either in a positive or negative way. It is not helpful to think of a child as "the good one" or "the rowdy one."
Take time to examine your own biases before, during, and after your observation. Avoid favoritism. Do you prefer some children over others? Again, stay neutral.
Do not let background information keep you from being objective. There is information you possibly need to know, but it may have little to do with the upcoming assessment.
Realize your own limitations as a beginning assessor, or even as a more experienced one evaluating a new child. If possible, get a second opinion from another professional to determine if you understand situations the same way (Clark and McDowel, n.d.).
Following are some of the major early childhood authentic assessment methods. They are presented in alphabetical order, beginning with anecdotal records.
Anecdotal Records
Narrative descriptions, or what might be thought of as stories about children's behaviors, are called anecdotal records. As with most stories, they are typically written in the past tense. Anecdotal records are usually fairly brief, but longer accounts can be useful as well. They are probably at their most accurate when written in the moment, but of course, teachers frequently do not find time to write the story until later. In such a case, it is most helpful to write a few quick reminder notes to be used when sufficient time becomes available.
Anecdotal records are especially helpful for teachers when descriptions of children's behaviors can be better understood by knowing exactly where and when they happened. Anecdotal records are useful when a child engages in a behavior previously unobserved, such as taking first steps or speaking in a complete sentence; they are equally useful for recording behaviors that set a child apart from others, whether the experience demonstrates giftedness or is a cause for concern. Communication with children's families about their children's behaviors can be helped through anecdotal records, particularly if they are well done. What constitutes a high-quality anecdotal record has itself been the subject of much research and commentary. The following observations and suggestions are adapted from Fleege (1997), Gullo (2005), and Wortham (2006):

A critique is an analysis of and a commentary on another piece .docxaryan532920
A critique is an analysis of and a commentary on another piece of writing. It generally focuses on technique as well as on content. A critical response essay (or interpretive essay or review) has two missions: to summarize a source’s main idea (briefly) and to respond to the source’s main ideas with reactions based on your synthesis. This critical response also incorporates counterpoint, or a counterargument. As a critic you are taking a skeptical or even opposing position – does the essay convince you?
I. Summarizing
The first step to writing is to read actively and thoughtfully, seeking answers to the following questions as you go:
What are the main points, ideas, or arguments of the work (book, article, play essay, etc.)?
How is the work organized?
What evidence/support does the author give?
What is the primary purpose of the work?
II. Analyzing (interpretation and evaluation)
To help you generate content for your analysis, consider the following questions:
Does the work achieve its purpose? Fully or only partially?
Was the purpose worthwhile to begin with? Or was it too limited, trivial, broad, theoretical, etc.?
Is any of the evidence weak or insufficient? In what way? Conversely, is the evidence/support particularly effective or strong?
Can I supply further explanation to clarify or support any of the main points, ideas, and arguments?
Are there sections you don’t understand? Why?
Was there any area where the author offered too much or too little information?
Is the organization of the work an important factor? Does its organization help me understand it, hinder my understanding, or neither?
Is anything about the language or style noteworthy?
III. Counterargument
Consider the above questions in those two sections as a foundation to argue your point (and please don’t assume that there is no other position – that is a narrow ideological view). Your goal in the final section is to take the two previous sections (summary/synthesis, and analysis/evaluation/interpretation) as an opportunity to posit (make, state, etc.) an argument or position that undermines, problematizes, debunks or otherwise causes a problem for the argument you are assessing. This sort of analysis that resists glazing over potential problems in favor of a complimentary review provides an opportunity (a vital one) to strengthen the original argument, amend it, or otherwise take into consideration something that was omitted or misstated.
Organization
The length or your essay and whether you respond to a single passage or to an entire work will vary with the assignment. Regardless of length and breadth, all critical responses include the following basic elements:
Introduction:
Body:
o Summary
o Transition
o Analysis: Evaluate the evidence: sufficient (enough evidence, examples), representative (large enough pool/sample), relevant (accurate correlations), accurate, claims fairly qualified
o Transition
o Response: base ...

HDFS Parenting and Child Guidance Final Paper KellyOLeary6
The document discusses how the student's views on parenting have changed and developed through taking a parenting and child guidance class. Specifically, the student learned about the importance of discussing sexuality openly with children, allowing children autonomy to develop self-efficacy to successfully transition to adulthood, and applying developmental models in parenting. Some views that remained the same include carefully planning before having children and recognizing the social benefits of school for children. Overall, the student feels more informed and aware of the multifaceted aspects of parenting.
The document discusses parent-based interventions for aggressive children, specifically Parent Management Training (PMT). It notes that PMT aims to enhance parental control over children's behavior through skills like issuing clear commands. However, researchers argue PMT needs updating to account for factors beyond parenting, like socioeconomic disadvantages. Effective PMT works best for oppositional preschoolers from stable families, and lacks research on its effectiveness for children at highest risk.

Protective Factors that Prevent Child Abuse & NeglectJim McKay
The Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP) has completed a comprehensive research
analysis, which identified five Protective Factors that are linked to the prevention of child abuse and neglect.
These Protective Factors or “Circles of Caring” are conditions in families and communities that,
when present, increase the health and well-being of children and families. These attributes also
serve as buffers against risk factors for child maltreatment.
The document discusses early childhood education philosophy and theories. It emphasizes that proper nurturing in infancy and toddlerhood is essential for children's future social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. Interactions with adults and other children during this time allow children to learn skills like communication that help them succeed in life. The brain processes experiences from early childhood to effectively communicate and interact in society later on. Goodness of fit, developmentally appropriate practices, and responsive caregiving are also discussed as important approaches for teachers.
1. Emotions have a significant impact on learning as they act as an "on/off switch" for learning. Negative emotions like anxiety can impair memory and learning while positive emotions support learning.
2. Parents play a key role in shaping their children's emotional habits, which then impact academic performance and social connections. Principles like reinforcing effort, sparking curiosity, and monitoring growth can help parents foster optimism and positive emotions.
3. Teachers' social-emotional competencies are important for reducing burnout and improving student outcomes. Skills like managing emotions, building relationships, and handling challenges compassionately support teacher well-being and create optimal learning environments.

1. STAR Parenting Program Review
By: Julia Baughn, Millie Bergey, Aubrey Brinkley, Myers Clark
What is STAR Parenting…
and why should I care about it?
STAR Parenting is a step-by-step approach to help
parents guide their children. It is practical for day to day
scenarios as well as for very serious, larger situations.
Main elements for guidance include the following:
1) Developing an attitude of respect and
reflection to sustain year-long parenting
goals for children
2) Four-step process for responding to
unwanted behavior
3) Fifteen specific tools organized into five
groups or points
A further break down of the four-step process:
S.T.A.R
S- Stop and focus
On yourself, the child and the problem. Reflect on
the scenario before taking action. Assess momentary
needs and focus on expectations as a parent.
T- Think of ideas
Free your mind to think of different ideas. These
can be silly and new. Ideas can be thought of in the
moment or later when things are really calm.
A- Act Effectively
Choose several ideas, make a plan and use it.
Following through on the plan is essential. Friends and
family can be used as accountability partners.
R- Review, revise and reward yourself
Evaluate what is working and what needs to be
changed in the ways you guide your children.
How is STAR Parenting connected
to course material?
BE A NURTURING, ATTENTIVE PARENT
In class, we discussed topics similar to those found on page 14 of
STAR Parenting in Table 1-1. This portion of the book specifically
walks parents through scenarios of temper tantrums. The main
points state that the parent should actively listen, acknowledge
their child’s feelings, and help them learn new ways to cope when
they get upset. These tools represent a parent who is attentive and
warm towards their child and is cohesive with course material.
CHILDREN HAVE DIFFERENT TEMPERAMENTS
STAR Parenting teaches parents that when a problem arises, they
should “consider how [the problem] might be affected by [their]
child’s temperament” (Crary, 18). These teachings are presented in
chapter two and discussed in depth in chapter three. Crary also
explains how different children will respond to the same stimulus
due to certain temperaments. The material presented in the text
supported the material learned in class. As seen in the course
material, it is evident that parenting can be transformative when
parents understand their children’s personality types and work with
them accordingly..
PARENTAL SELF CARE
Crary provides examples of negative consequences that can arise
from a parent’s lack of self care in the midst of child rearing. She
encourages honesty by stating that problems “can be avoided if
[the parent] is realistic about [their] needs” (Crary, 59). Further,
she explains the significance of a support group which lines up with
research studied in class. Both the text and material encourage
parents to engage with family and friends who can walk alongside
them throughout child rearing.
How is STAR Parenting
disconnected from course
material?
SOLUTION TO PROBLEMS = LIMIT CHILD
The text states that the solution would be to hide the eggs
from the child in a place that the child cannot reach (Crary,
68). As I read this portion of the book, it felt as though the
child was being limited by the parent. Overall, STAR
Parenting teaches to avoid problems by putting the child in
a setting where the “problem” is out of sight. In contrast,
the lectures promoted socializing the child to understand
what they desire and fulfilling those desires in an
acceptable, responsible way.
DO NOT INCLUDE CHILDREN IN RULE MAKING
There are five steps to create rules which includes
“mak[ing]” a clear, simple rule,” “choos[ing] an effective
consequence,” “clarify[ing] the child’s choice,”
“follow[ing] through with the consequence,” and finally
“deal[ing] with the child’s distress constructively” (Crary,
154). Therefore, the STAR Parenting gives a guide to what
it looks like to be in charge and set boundaries, but the
lectures provide a guide to what it looks like to be
explanatory and work together to meet goals and
expectations with children.
Should a parent read STAR
Parenting?
Yes, a parent should read STAR Parenting. It is practical and
can be applied to all types of situations.
1. STAR Parenting is based on stories and scenarios from
parents’ real-life experiences. This gives the reader a
sense of relatability and can help parents feel
understood in their hardships of parenting. STAR
Parenting highlights circumstances of parents with
children of all ages; therefore, parents with children in
different stages are able to find applicable, realistic,
and helpful tools.
2. This book is highly interactive and engaging. It offers
many tools for parents to apply to their parenting and
to use in a wide range of scenarios with their children.
The explanations are in depth and elaborate. Tables
found throughout the text consist of personal
information that can be used to implement material
into real life situations.
A few pushbacks…
1. Due to a variety of approaches, STAR Parenting can
sometimes result in a lack of conversation between the
parent and child. Sometimes this can occur in
situations where the child may need more assistance
and understanding. While boundaries are important, it
is crucial to maintain conversation between parent and
child.
2. STAR Parenting gives forward information that does
not always include the child in the discussion;
therefore, reinforcing closed communication between
parent and child.
