Discuss:
The child (pseudonym name and the applicable age bracket) and the specific behaviour of concern
Contributors to the observations e.g., suitable authorities, family, educators, etc.
What behaviour of the child is of serious concern and what are the triggers of this behaviour?
Strategies that have been used and the associated outcomes
Factors that were changed in the environment to help to reduce the behaviour
The short-term and long-term goals to support appropriate behaviour
Document an individualised plan based on the above information and that includes strategies, who to report to, and review date.
Discuss how you could observe children and what strategies you could use to support positive interactions and behaviour.
Any cultural practices (including details) reflected in the plans e.g., culture, family culture, values, etc.
How the plan was explained to the child
How other educators were informed about the plan’s rationale, limits, and strategies
How you and other educators worked together to maintain consistency of the plan
How would the child’s behaviours and these plans be reviewed then improved upon? Discuss how you could consult with colleagues, family members and others to modify if necessary
