Big Bang Teaching Strategies

Overview

These “Big Bang” trainings offer practical and effective strategies to support social emotional development in your classroom or program.

This training came from the research for Prevent Teach Reinforce for Young Children. While researchers were working with children using functional behavior analysis they realized over the study, they lost 20% of their sample to these instructional practices when they were implemented with fidelity. In this training we will look at these “Big Bang” Teaching Strategies, including:

  • 5 positives to 1 negative
  • Schedules
  • Routines to the 3rd Power
  • Teaching Behavioral Expectations
  • Teaching Social Emotional Skills

This training explores the six essential practices that will strengthen infant and toddler’s social and emotional health and wellbeing. The six “Big Bang” practices for promoting infant/toddler social emotional health explored in this training include:

  • Providing warm and responsive care
  • Communicating and building relationships with children and families
  • Offering predictable schedules, routines, and transitions
  • Understanding behavior
  • Understanding emotions and teach about feelings
