Relationship-Based Teaching with Young Children

This two-hour training is for professionals from education, social work, health care and mental health who are interested in learning more about how to work with highly stressed children.

The goal of this training is to offer early childhood professionals from multiple disciplines who work with young children and their families an opportunity to explore relationship-based practice. We believe this will result in an increase in teacher-child interactions associated with trusting, supportive care giving and the development of more secure attachments between you and many of the children with whom you work. We predict that these relationships will eventually result in a reduction in challenging behaviors and an increase in developmental progress among the children involved. In addition, we believe that you will have a renewed sense of self-efficacy, a sense that you can meet many of the challenges that confront you in your work with children.  

Training material includes content on:

  • The Child and Relationships
  • Relationship-Based Teaching
  • Reflective Teaching:  An Introduction
  • Children with Challenging Behavior
  • Reflective Teachings and Reflective Collaboration
  • Special Populations of Children: Trauma and Developmental Disorders

Participants will learn:

  • How relationships with caring adults are the context of all growth and learning for young children
     
  • How to use the tool of "reflective teaching" and "reflective collaboration" to better understand children in their classes
     
  • What intervention approaches might work for children who are having difficulties because of stressed relationship histories.
