Children need personal affirmation more than mere attention. This Exchange Reflections is based around the Exchange article, “Not Attention but Affirmation” by Daniel Gartrell. The author writes that effective educators use guidance rather than punishment to address conflicts, helping children develop healthy emotional and social skills. Discuss with your team ways of teaching appropriate behaviors and fostering respectful learning environment.
Overview
Exchange Reflections are designed to help a team of people meet in-person or live online to think deeply together about a topic using an article from Exchange magazine as a guide.
Included are discussion questions to help guide reflections, as well as a “Making Commitments” idea sheet to help prompt ideas into action. For your convenience, Exchange Reflections are available in PDF format that you can download immediately on your desktop.
Exchange Reflections come with an Exchange Reflections Certificate. Certification and state licensing requirements for early childhood educators vary significantly. To find out if Exchange Reflections will be accepted for your requirements, we recommend that you contact your certifying or state licensing agency.
