Written Assignment

<p>This module explores the context of and responses to a range of behaviours in early years’ settings. Your understanding of different techniques that can be used to promote positive behaviours for learning and assist school readiness will be developed. You will explore the early years’ phase-specific causes of challenging behaviour along with the way that emotional and other difficulties are played out in one-to-one, small group encounters and whole setting contexts. Specific behaviours associated with learning difficulties and disabilities will be identified and various strategies for inclusive practice analysed. You will also consider theoretical aspects of behaviour management. Your understanding will be assessed through a presentation of two case studies which explore behavioural challenges in early years settings and a range of techniques used to promote positive behaviours.</p>
