Challenging behaviors can derail an early childhood learning community, and punishment and exclusion are not the answer. Young children need support and instruction to help them learn how to cooperate, listen, share, and interact positively with their peers and with adults. Where to start?
Effective Discipline Policies offers clear, evidence-based information and an easy-to-use checklist to help administrators craft a developmentally appropriate, consistent, effective behavioral guidance policy that benefits all members of the learning community:
- For the teacher: a better classroom environment with fewer challenging behaviors
- For the child: a positive climate and nurturing approach that teaches real social skills and builds self-esteem
- For the administrator: fewer challenging behaviors, support and clear expectations for teachers, and parents who feel heard and respected
- For parents and families: children are learning across all domains, have positive experiences with school, and feel respected and a part of the school community
