Description
The Goodstart Behaviour Support Kit is a toolkit of professional learning materials curated by Goodstart Early Learning to support the intentional teaching of pro-social skills and self-regulation for typically developing children aged 3-5 years.
The toolkit comprises a guide and a set of visual aids for use by educators as a teaching tool to support pro-social behaviour and communication with young children. The visual aids and guides can be incorporated into regular teaching and learning. The toolkit also contains four online professional development modules that support the implementation of the resources by building the capability of educators and teachers.
Optional online coaching (consisting of three, two-hour sessions) is available and facilitates the educator’s navigation of the resources within the toolkit, planning for implementation within the classroom, and reflection on how the resources are working in practice.
