Getting It Right in the Classroom!

Understanding and Responding to Children's Behavior

Staff Development Series

All teachers and child care professionals have experienced children who become distracted, get off-task, and engage in inappropriate behaviors. It’s an almost everyday occurrence. Unfortunately, some of these behaviors can escalate into unpleasant and stressful classroom outbursts that disrupt the entire classroom and harm student self-image, learning, and achievement. Additionally, repeated disruptive classroom behaviors can have a serious effect on teacher morale and classroom effectiveness.

It is the "how" of a caregiver's or teacher's response to this behavior that can either be the calming touch that redirects a child or group of children or the catalyst or “flashpoint” for a more serious and challenging escalation of the child's or group's behavior. And that "how" is a skill that must be regularly learned and refined by child care and educational professionals.

The Getting It Right in the Classroom! Understanding and Responding to Children's Behavior staff development series is designed to help child care, preschool, and school-age child care professionals minimize or avoid those types of incidents.

This workshop series includes three of The Learningtree Network’s most popular staff development workshops, including Using Appropriate Consequences to Improve Behavior, Managing Challenging Behaviors in Children, and "Meltdown" Management.

The combination of these workshops provides child care, preschool, and school-age child care professionals with a comprehensive and inexpensive set of resources for understanding the nature of children's behavior and the best methods for responding to that behavior. It provides skills, strategies, and techniques that teachers and caregivers can use to establish a more responsive, more easily managed, and positive learning environment that reduces the incidence of untimely and disruptive classroom behaviors significantly.

"Meltdown" Management

The “Meltdown” Management online workshop is designed to provide child care and school-age child care professionals with a convenient, easy-to-access, and highly informative workshop focusing on better understanding the phenomenon of temper tantrums in children.

Almost every teacher and child care professional has been in this situation: A child is agitated and acting out, often screaming and entirely out of control, and completely disrupting the classroom. To calm the situation, the teacher needs to determine what caused the outburst to happen, try to soothe the child, and quickly de-escalate the situation to prevent it from getting worse. This workshop focuses on helping a teacher or child care professional to do just that.

Its goal is simple! To help all participants become more knowledgeable, less apprehensive, and better prepared for responding to tantrum-type behavior that some child development specialists sometimes refer to as “thunderstorms or full-blown hurricanes” in children.

The workshop's primary focus is increasing understanding and awareness about the causes or “triggers” of tantrums and full-blown meltdowns. Additionally, it reviews the changes in behavior that often precede tantrum-type behavior, various tactics that can be used for calming these behaviors, and strategies for reducing and preventing temper tantrums and meltdowns in toddlers, preschool, and school-aged children.

Course Curriculum

Lesson 1: Tantrums and "Meltdowns"

Lesson 2: Why Do Tantrums and "Meltdowns" Occur?

Lesson 3: Handling a "Meltdown"

Managing Challenging Behavior in Children

The Managing Challenging Behavior in Children online workshop is designed to provide child care and school-age child care professionals with a convenient, easy-to-access, and highly informative workshop. The focus of this workshop is to help participants better understand the behavior of children, and in particular, the disruptive and challenging behaviors that occur every day in child care, early childhood, and elementary classrooms.

Every teacher and child care professional has experienced a child who becomes distracted, gets off-task, and engages in inappropriate behavior. In fact, for most teachers, it happens daily. This behavior sometimes escalates into a disruptive and challenging behavior that disturbs and unsettles a group of children or the entire classroom. To calm the situation, the teacher needs to determine what caused the behavior to happen, try to soothe the child, and quickly de-escalate the situation to prevent it from getting worse. This workshop focuses on helping child care, pre-school, and school-age child care professionals do just that.

This workshop intends to help all participants become more knowledgeable, confident, and better prepared for managing and responding to disruptive and challenging behaviors in children.

The workshop's primary objective is to increase understanding and awareness about the nature of challenging behaviors in children, developmentally appropriate behavior, and the common causes associated with this type of behavior. Additionally, it reviews the various tactics and strategies that can be used for responding to and calming these behaviors, as well as strategies for reducing and preventing disruptive and challenging behaviors in toddlers, preschool, and school-aged children.

Course Curriculum

Lesson 1: Challenging Behavior and Young Children

Lesson 2: Developmentally Appropriate Behavior & Young Children

Lesson 4: Preventing & Responding to Challenging Behavior

Using Appropriate Consequences to Improve

Behavior

The Learningtree Network designed the Using Appropriate Consequences to Improve Behavior online workshop to provide child care and school-age child care professionals with a convenient, easy to access, and highly informative workshop. The workshop’s main focus is to help participants better understand the use of appropriate consequences to effectively persuade children to choose and engage in acceptable and appropriate behaviors in child care, early childhood, and elementary classrooms.

Every teacher and child care professional has experienced the stress, frustration, and difficulties in responding to children exhibiting inappropriate behavior, whether it be a toddler in our child care center, a preschooler or kindergarten child, or a student in our school-age child care program. In fact, for most teachers, it happens almost daily.

This workshop intends to help all participants to become more knowledgeable, more skilled, and better able to use consequences as an effective classroom management tool for managing their classroom and minimizing and reducing incidences of inappropriate behavior in their classroom.

Workshop objectives focus on helping participants to become more aware about why punishment doesn’t work, develop a better understanding of the basics of natural and logical consequences, learn how to correctly design and use logical consequences as an effective classroom management tool, and learn specific strategies and techniques for imposing logical consequences in their classrooms.

Course Curriculum

Lesson 1: Why Punishment Doesn't Work

Lesson 2: The Basics of Consequences

Lesson 3: Designing & Using Logical Consequences

Lesson 4: Techniques & Strategies for Using Consequences Effectively in the Classroom
