In-person team workshops at your Early Childhood service
Over a series of two workshops, educators will be provided with strategies to refocus their approach to behaviour, and proactively develop children's wellbeing, supporting their problem solving and self-regulation. The EYLF PRINCIPLES discussed are: Secure, Respectful and Reciprocal Relationships; Partnerships; High Expectations and Equity; Respect for Diversity; and, Ongoing Learning and Reflective Practice.
Session 1: Refocus approach, understand patterns of behaviour and guide children to self-regulate their behaviour
Topics include:
Understand the child and their behaviour
- Being curious to understand what's behind the behaviour, using the Phoenix Cups framework ©.
- Discuss Cup filling strategies to top up empty Cups and develop children's wellbeing.
- Observe and analyse behaviour to identify triggers and patterns.
- Use reflective practice to analyse the reinforcement that is maintaining the behaviour.
*** First Door Early is a licenced Phoenix Cups affiliate. The Phoenix Cups framework is used in some parts of our professional learning as a model for understanding behaviour relating to basic human life needs.
Improving our approach to guide children to self-regulate their behaviour
- to develop each child's wellbeing and resilience
- Using positive language: learning to rephrase instructions and use win-win choices.
- Identifying the wanted behaviour we are working towards
- Engaging collaborative decision making of rules/expectations and strategies to gain children's understanding and acceptance of rules/expectations
- Commitment to consistency within the team of educators
- Boundary testing and strategies to use
- Modelling respectful and cooperative behaviour through equitable and respectful relationships with each child
Session 2: Review influences on behaviour - plan goals and strategies, and monitor progress
Topics include:
Develop, implement and evaluate a plan to establish cooperative behaviour
- Review program routines for possible influence on behaviour
- Plan the program and environment to meet the child's temperament
- Interpret the child's patterns of behaviour with other involved educators and relevant others (from worksheets completed from and following session 1).
- Work in partnership with parents, and develop a plan collaboratively, in accordance with philosophy and policies of the service.
- Clearly identify strategies to achieve acceptable alternative behaviours in the plan.
- Use ongoing evaluation and revise the plan as required.
