Module 04 Content

Overview
As we implement several positive teaching strategies, we can prevent and diffuse challenging and unsocial behaviors. We model how children can behave to move them toward self-regulation. We celebrate their accomplishments and exercise patience as they move through this process at their rate. In determining which strategy will be most effective for an individual child or group of children in a particular situation, educators first need to meet young children at their development and then challenge them to reach achievable learning goals.
The 10 Positive Teaching Strategies espoused by NAEYC can help guide decision making in this area.
