- Discipline: Making It WorkMore than any other subject in Parent Education, discipline incites the most uncertainty. Many parents think of discipline as punishment rather than an opportunity for teaching and guiding their children's behavior. The goals of this program are to address the important concerns parents have about discipline and to help them discover a positive approach to it. As Dr. Frances Bond explains, discipline means teaching; through discipline we are teaching our children behaviors that are appropriate for their age and developmental level.
- Early Childhood: Classroom CultureThis program explores the importance of creating and maintaining a strong and positive classroom culture. It demonstrates that the successful classroom builds relationships between the teacher and the students, celebrates learning, is managed well with consistent rules, boundaries, and use of transitions, and is structured in a way that helps students feel empowered to handle challenges.
- From Message to Meaning : Using a Daily Message Board in the Preschool ClassroomThis instructional material, by High Scope, is about using a daily message board in the preschool classroom.
- Having Fun With Science and MathChildren are innately curious and eager to discover as much about the world as they can. This program shows how parents can play a major role in stimulating a child's interest toward Science and Math.
- Infants: Cognitive DevelopmentInfants’ brains are actively developing with everything they experience. Examine how newborns fit into the sensorimotor stage - tracing cognitive development from simple reflexes to beginnings of thought. Explore infant intelligence, information processing and memory. See the progression of infant communication from crying--to giggling--to euphoric babbling and their first words! Understand how language is learned and how caregivers can use infant-directed speech to foster cognitive development.
- The Power of Physical Play: Development & effective learningThe Power of Physical Play examines how this type of play supports physical development from birth to seven-years-old. It also shows how physical play has such an important role in a child’s ability to become an independent learner. As we follow children during their day to day business within several settings, you will gain an in depth understanding of precisely what they are learning and how this supports their physical development and ability to become self regulating.
