Managing early childhood classrooms so they are peaceful and productive can sometimes feel overwhelming, leaving teachers and leaders searching for sustainable solutions. This strategy-rich webinar addresses these challenges by providing early care and education leaders with the tools to support staff in creating calmer, more positive learning environments.
Join this webinar which is designed specifically for early care and education leaders and supervisors who seek effective ways to support staff facing challenging classroom dynamics. Led by behavior coach Prerna Richards, the session goes beyond traditional behavior management, offering research-based coaching practices that leaders can use to encourage teachers to foster prosocial behaviors, cooperation, and self-regulation in children. Participants will learn actionable techniques that help teachers adopt a proactive, intentional approach, reducing reliance on reactive responses and creating a foundation for positive child development.
