Create a resource guide for Kayla’s mother that includes suggestions for decreasing and responding to her daughter’s challenging behaviors.

To create a resource guide that will support positive behavior management and evaluate your plan.

Scenario:
You are an early childhood teacher in a public school pre-kindergarten classroom with children who are four and five years of age. You have spent the first few weeks of school getting to know your children’s parents and guardians and building strong relationships. One morning, Kayla’s mother stops to talk with you about difficulties she is having with her daughter’s behavior. She is frustrated and exhausted with the challenging behaviors that Kayla demonstrates at home, and asks for your advice.

Focus Assignment:
1. Create a resource guide for Kayla’s mother that includes suggestions for decreasing and responding to her daughter’s challenging behaviors. Include parent directions and suggestions for recommended resource materials (if needed). Provide an evidence-based rationale for how each strategy promotes positive social-emotional development. Use the chapter information to support your plan.

2. Be sure to read the SELF-EVALUATION section below to guide your thinking. Write your self-evaluation after you have developed your resource guide.

Self-Evaluation:
1. For each aspect of your resource guide:
a. Explain how your guide addresses the issues in the scenario.
b. Give evidence from the chapter supporting this analysis (with citations).
2. Describe and justify how this resource guide will improve teaching and learning in the scenario.

3. Review the assessment rubric to see how your assignment and self-evaluation will be graded.
