Thinking Proactively
When you buy a new car, you purchase car insurance immediately as a proactive measure to keep your car safe. When you set up a new classroom, you want to proactively provide your students and yourself with insurance to ensure the safety and happiness of everyone inside. A classroom’s insurance includes the environment, setup, attitudes, décor, toys, lighting, schedule, structure, and much more.
- Having recently opened an inclusion preschool, one of the biggest complaints from new parents has been: “My child’s preschool is always telling me what my child did wrong. They are just reacting to his/her bad behaviors.” Proactive teaching is a skill that takes a lot of time, practice, and critical thinking. This presentation will offer insight on positive ways to become a proactive teacher as opposed to a reactive teacher. Parents, just like humans in general, don’t like to hear what their child has done wrong and what the consequence was as they are picking their child up from daycare/preschool/or school every day. Proactive teachers will be able to describe the situation including environmental factors, student factors, antecedents, behaviors, consequences, and strategies to help prevent the behavior in the future to a parent with a child whom exhibits continuous problem behaviors.
