The Power of Positive Communication: CD-ROM With Trainer's Guide

The Power of Positive Communication: CD-ROM and Trainer's Guide 

Research shows that positive communication in early childhood settings can help teachers meet two important goals: helping young children gain critical language skills and decreasing young children’s inappropriate behavior.

The Power of Positive Communication is a research-validated, highly interactive training CD-ROM that shows teachers how to create more supportive learning environments by strengthening their day-to-day interactions with children.

Designed for adults who work with children ages 3–8, this tool includes three 45–minute training sessions that focus on the foundation of positive communication, strengthening communication, and how positive communication supports classroom management efforts.

A reflection journal, action plan template, activities, exercises, and practice opportunities blended with instructive video clip examples are also included.
 
Sessions:

• First Steps to Positive Communication which demonstrates how positive communication supports both teachers' goals and children's needs
• Strengthen Your Communication which teaches how to use visuals, gestures, and modeling to enhance learning and shows how to support children with diverse learning styles or special needs, and dual-language learners
• The Impact of Teachers' Language which shows how positive communication supports classroom management efforts and reduces discipline problems
