Effective Child Guidance Plans and Goals

To reflect on the creation of effective child guidance plans and how to accomplish your goals for guidance and discipline.

• What are the behavior guidelines in an early childhood education program where you have spent time? How were these guidelines determined? Why do you think the children either do or do not follow the guidelines?
• Observe teacher-child interactions, watching for the amount of individual attention provided. How do children respond differently to individual interaction with the teacher than they do to interactions as part of a group?
• Observe a large group-time activity. Note any behavior problems that occur. Using information from this module, explain what the teacher might have done to prevent the behavior problem(s). If you do not witness any behavior problems during your observation, describe the strategies used by the teacher to prevent them from occurring.
