By offering clear guidance and plenty of suggested strategies,
Encouraging Positive Behaviour in the Early Years provides the reader with a framework for encouraging positive behavior from all young children. Sections include:
- The revised SEN Code of Practice 2001 and the Disability Discrimination Act 2002 and their implications for practitioners
- Strategies for encouraging positive behavior and reducing inappropriate behavior
- Planning, writing and reviewing Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
- Working with colleagues to write and implement a positive behavior policy.
There is a range of photocopiable material provided, as well as some practical activities that would be useful when delivering INSET in any early years setting. Suggestions for further reading are made and a glossary of terms is included.
