• Unit 7 Synopsis and Checklist

 Topic 2 Course Description:
2 Clock Hours
CDA Settings:

• Infant/Toddler
• Preschool
• Family Child Care (Mixed-Age)

Teachers with all levels of experience use classroom management to meet their daily routines, student expectations, and behavioral challenges among other things. It is a central component to a well-run classroom setting of any kind. Early childhood programs and traditional classrooms of all levels can benefit from a clever classroom management plan. This course will give new and veteran teachers alike a fresh perspective on classroom management as well as some unique and engaging ideas to apply to the classroom environment. There are several interactive pieces in this training as well as hypothetical situations and educator experience articles. This course will also provide an overview of why biting behavior occurs and how child care professionals can understand the behavior and respond appropriately.

Learning Outcomes:

• ​Apply new classroom management skills to their program
• Discuss the purpose of classroom management 
• Analyze several hypothetical classroom management plans and make necessary corrections
• Identify a positive approach to guidance
• Identify reasons for biting
• Explain developmentally appropriate measures to help prevent biting behavior
• Explain best practice methods of reacting to biting behavior

**  A special thank you to Aurora Tollestrup, BS Ed for developing the curriculum for this topic. **
