Challenging and complex behaviours can take on many different forms and present in different ways. Often times, there are no one size fits all approach, but rather a collection of small key strategies and practices which when implemented across the entire team, will result in a calmer classroom and a decrease in the frequency and severity of behaviour outbursts.
How Will I Learn?
At Making Education, we want to make a difference by making it different.
We have redesigned what eLearning means, to bring you a sequenced and well thought out learning experience.
As you navigate this course, you will find that you have a facilitator guiding you on your journey. This will be used to ensure you stay on the right path and always know where you’re at.
Milestones and modules will also be used to break up the information into bite sized pieces, so that it all makes sense.
Quizzes and questions will provide you with learner feedback, helping you to get a sense for where you’ve been, and where you’re going on the journey.
Further learning and extension activities are also scattered throughout the course to provide you with rich reflection and opportunities to extend your knowledge further.
At the end of each section, you will be guided back to how this might be transferred to an early learning work environment to support you in implementing high quality education and care for all children.
For the best learning experience, we recommend full engagement with the learning materials and following the reflective prompts, questions and further learning tasks which will assist you to turn theory and knowledge into hands on practices and strategies.
Our eLearning modules are indented to provide learners with hands on and real world strategies, ideas and concepts which are ready to be implemented in your current workplace, whether that be a daycare, childcare, early learning or family day care environment.
At Making Education, we also advocate and recommend that once you have finished, you don’t rush on to the next task but instead sit for at least 10 – 15 minutes upon completion to reflect on your learning and let it sink in. This thinking time will support you to more effectively turn what you’ve just learnt into actionable steps to update and add to your current practices.
Underpinning this course are our in-house designed and developed Course Learning Outcomes (CLO’s).
L.O-1.1 To understand the varying needs children may have which could act as a barrier to being able to be included and involved in the educational program.
L.O-1.2 Link an unmet need to certain demonstrated behaviour, and to be able to infer a potentially unmet need from certain behavioural cues within the classroom.
L.O-2.1 Identify what will promote positive behaviours to develop and grow.
L.O-2.2 Identify what will promote negative and anti-social behaviours to dissipate and reduce.
L.O-3.1 Explore what you can do to expediate the relationship building with children experience complex and challenging behaviours.
L.O-3.2 Understand how relationships with children set the groundwork for positive behaviours, and how they’re used to maintain positive behaviour development.
L.O-4.1 Uncover the fundamentals of emotion coaching and identify its uses within the classroom to promote co-regulation in young children.
L.O-5.1 Explore the principles of the ABC behaviour analysis model, and uncover how it can be used in early learning to identify the root cause of a behaviour and inform ways of shifting negative behaviours to more social alternative behaviours.
Being that this is a short course refresher training for Early Childhood Educators, we will be using micro-modules to categorise and break down the information into byte-sized chunks of eLearning content. Each module is designed to contain roughly 5 – 10 minutes of content. You are more then welcome to come and go from the learning, but it has been designed to be completed comfortably in one sitting.
