Creating Teaching Tools for Young Children with Challenging Behavior in Child Care
Description:
This project will provide early childhood educators who serve at-risk children from predominately African-American and Latino communities with a comprehensive, effective, easy-to-navigate intervention package that promotes communication, friendships and social emotional competence while addressing challenging behavior in preschool children. A prepackaged intervention kit is provided that includes an array of strategies on CD-ROM that can be printed immediately with all the accompanying materials. Additionally, materials that reflect cultural competence with widespread community impact are also benefits to the kit. The project will evaluate the efficacy of the intervention package, further develop the package to enhance cultural competence and support widespread community dissemination of the product.
