Guiding the Behavior of Young Children

Module 2: The Encouraging Classroom

Overview

Welcome to the second module of “Guiding Behavior of Young Children” where we will learn more about the encouraging classroom.   This course is part two of three courses developed by the Building Bridges with Higher Education Project and STARS, and offered through Puget Sound Educational Service District’s Early Learning Outreach Program (ELOP), local Community and Technical colleges, and community partners.

This module consists of six sections:

  1. Indirect Guidance
    • Creating the Environment
    • Schedules and Routines
  2. Developmentally Appropriate Guidance Transitions
  3. Transitions
  4. Guidance vs. Punishment/ Rules vs. Limits
  5. Family Involvement
  6. Assessment and Evaluation

For each of these sections, you will create an online portfolio of all of your work.  Your coursework and assignments will all be completed online.  You will update your portfolio as you complete your assignments.  A certificate of completion will be available online upon your successful completion, and credit will be awarded through the college you registered with.  You may email your instructor with questions, or post them on the discussion board. 

Each module may include (but not be limited to):

Additional articles to read supporting the topic
Discussion board participation
Learning activities
Lectures/ written description of the course content
Pre and post class checklist of knowledge and practice on the topic
Quizzes to assess your new knowledge
Reflective journaling
