Next a plan will be created for implementing a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) for each student. The plan will include: 1) replacement behaviors (What are the positive behaviors that will replace the negative ones? How will they be taught?), 2) proactive strategies (What strategies will be implemented to encourage alternative replacement behaviors? What accommodations or modifications will be used (seating, calm down room, etc)?), 3) reactive strategies (What strategies will be implemented to reduce reoccurrence of problem behaviors (prompting, loss of points, de-escalation strategies)?), 4) progress monitoring (How will this be done to ensure effectiveness of behavior plan? Who will collect data? How often will data be collected? How and…
Summary: The code discusses that behavior analysts are to use scientific knowledge that is empirical and conceptually systematic. This code ensures that behavior analysts are using scientifically validated methods when assessing, as well as implementing behavior change.…
The National Association for the Education of Young Children represents the early childhood profession. Their book on developmentally appropriate practice and accreditation criteria define quality programs for young children. Developmentally appropriate environments help children develop in all areas—physical, social, creative, emotional, and cognitive. No one area of development is more important than another in the early years of a child’s life. It is often not possible to separate children’s development in one area from another. For example, as a child masters a physical skill such as climbing, self-esteem grows. The new physical skill makes it possible for the child to learn more about the world and to interact with friends.…
With this final paper I will be explaining some behavioral plans for children as well as describing the purpose of behavior management in early childhood education settings. Also I will integrate specific challenging behavior in this paper. When discussing strategies for teachers can use to determine the functions of challenging behaviors and also be designing an individual support plan for each of the challenging behaviors like possible functions of the behavior, specific positive behaviors supports and replacement behaviors. In my conclusion I will discuss in detail and will…
I had to make observations on each child and noted each child developmental domains for assessments by the end of the month. As an educator, we must translate what we know from Science about the needs of our children into effective policies and practices. Taken as a whole, State policy makers have a chance to have a significant effect on the development of young children by acting on the policies made that support healthy social-emotional development. Incorporating parts of the Gramling curriculum in our program pointed out how learning to think about education in terms of a child’s developmental needs is such a critical skill for…
What is a behavioral support plan you ask? Behavioral Support Plans (BSP) assist a broad range of students deemed by the school to require additional support and guidance. (www.education.vic.gov.au). Of course these are only created after assessments are carefully conducted and reviewed thoroughly among the teacher, any other school faculty needed, student involved, and student’s family. Specific plans can be created for students who have been diagnosed or display severe behavior disorders, require additional assistance due to the difficult, challenging,…

This course is an examination of the underlying theoretical principles of developmentally appropriate practices applied to programs, environments, emphasizing the key role of relationships, constructive adult-child interactions, and teaching strategies in supporting physical, social, creative and intellectual development for all children. This course includes a review of the historical roots of early childhood programs and the evolution of the professional practices promoting advocacy, ethics and professional identity.…
I was not familiar with “developmentally appropriate practice” prior to reading Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood Programs. The book reaffirms my belief that teachers need to know their students and empower them to reach goals that are both challenging and achievable. Teachers and parents want their children to be successful, so understanding the importance of DAP helps in developing a teacher/parent partnership that is sustainable. One of the founding principles of DAP is educators need to keep in mind that children need to be met where they are. All teaching should be appropriate to a child’s age and developmental status, encouraging them to be unique and responsive to their social and cultural contests which they live outside of the classroom.…

Behavior management is essential in early childhood settings. It is part of avoiding problems that some children may bring to the classroom. Examples of behaviors consist of hitting, biting, kicking, or throwing things. Behaviors such as these can also be called challenging behaviors. This type of behavior can happen for numerous reasons, which is why teachers need to make a plan to help control or even stop these types of behaviors. Having behavior management skills that are useful are used in classrooms will reduce any disruptions and help all of the children learn.…
Upon reflecting on the course materials and my own experiences in implementing my applied project, there are many positive conclusions I have developed. My applied project has changed me as a professional educator, influenced my approach to instruction and prepared me for continued professional growth as I enter the classroom. Ultimately, it has directed me towards becoming a more effective researcher and early childhood educator.…
