Dual Language Learners in Early Care and Education Settings
An increasing number of children are exposed to more than one language right from birth. Dual language learning has many benefits including stronger connections to family, culture, and community. This tip sheet provides ideas for ways professionals working with very young children can support dual language learners. Learn how to incorporate play, gestures, and repetition into your work with children and families.
Individualized Positive Behavior Support, referred to as Positive Behavior Support throughout this website, is a process for understanding and resolving the problem behavior of children that is based on values and empirical research. It offers an approach for developing an understanding of why the child engages in problem behavior and strategies for preventing the occurrence of problem behavior while teaching the child new skills. Positive behavior support offers a holistic approach that considers all factors that have an impact on a child and the child’s behavior. It can be used to address problem behaviors that range from aggression, tantrums, and property destruction to social withdrawal.
