Requirements
Supporting young children in early childhood education requires patience, structure, and effective tools to guide behaviour. This course provides a complete ECE Behaviour Toolkit designed for teachers, parents, and education assistants who want to create positive, confident classrooms.
Across three parts—Behaviour Management, Classroom Support & Intervention, and School-Based Assessment—you’ll gain practical strategies backed by real classroom examples. You will:
- Learn how classroom environments influence behaviour and how to manage challenging moments using the A-B-C contingency model.
- Explore the difference between instruction and prompting, how to balance 1:1 vs. group sessions, and how to use visuals and reinforcement effectively.
- Understand Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), including no-tech, low-tech, and high-tech tools for children with developmental or language needs.
- Develop skills in Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA), using indirect and observational methods to identify the causes of behaviour and build effective intervention plans.
No prior knowledge is required. This course is ideal for early childhood educators, parents, education assistants, behaviour interventionists, and anyone supporting children with diverse learning needs.
By the end of the training, you will have practical strategies to understand, prevent, and respond to challenging behaviours. You’ll leave with the confidence to create classrooms that are calmer, more structured, and more supportive—helping every child succeed.
