Behavior

Understanding & Guiding Behavior

Monique offers Oregon Registry Training for Set I Standards, as listed below.  Please contact Monique to schedule an inservice training at your school or at Creative Roots.

Knowledge of developmentally appropriate and culturally appropriate guidance theories, principles and practices. Providing positive guidance to foster self-esteem, self-regulation, constructive behavior, and positive relationships for children and youth.

 

Key Concepts:

  • Knowledge about understanding and guiding behavior is based upon current principles, theories, and research.
  • Understanding developmentally appropriate guidance and discipline strategies come from knowledge of both human development and positive relationships.
  • It is important to understand behavior in the context of personal factors, such as developmental stages, individual temperaments, and learning styles.
  • It is important to understand behavior in the context of environmental and social factors, such as families, cultures, and other external influences.
  • Cooperative strategies of guidance are based upon practices that foster self-esteem, self-regulation, and constructive behavior.
Supporting Explanations:An understanding of how children and youth develop and knowledge of guidance and discipline theories will lead to strategies that foster self-esteem, self-regulation, constructive behavior, and positive relationships.

A positive regard for children and youth by nurturing adults, in an environment of mutual respect, promotes healthy learning and development. Pro-social behavior can be learned through modeling of appropriate behaviors by others.

When designing programs that support pro-social behavior, it is important to be knowledgeable of both developmental and environmental-social factors, such as diverse values, cultural influences, individual needs, abilities, and learning styles. The end result will be developmentally and culturally appropriate guidance and discipline.
