Early Childhood Education CCE 159 Behavior Management

North Seattle Community College
Michelle
Doutré , Early Childhood Teacher
This class shows you
how to cut to the chase when dealing with undesirable behaviors. This
allows people, the children and yourself, to bloom. It eliminates the
noise. Holly

This course set me in
a completely different direction as far as how I want to affect my students.
I am always going over the previous material from all my classes I have
taken at North Seattle, and it never fails to amaze me how much I still
need to learn, or grow, and how much I still don't know! Every time
I get complacent, a new idea kicks me in the butt and gets me moving
onward toward my desired goal--to be like my 1st grade teacher Mrs.
Johnson. I have already requested
to my director that this course should be mandatory. I've also recommended
it to a few of my children's parents as well. This class changed me
and I didn't even do all the correct steps! This class was difficult
for me mostly because it was so simple in its truth --be present.
Glorie Melendez, Early Childhood Teacher
This
is a hands-on class. We used the class material and practiced the ideas
and concepts right away. This was, a very effective method of learning.
Bouncing ideas off my classmates during class time was very profitable
and productive. It not only helped crystallize and clarify the ideas
in my mind, it also abled me to help other students in the class in
their understanding. Support and friendships were forged during these
discussions. The projects were openers
and liberators for me. As I grappled and reflected on each project,
I was stretched and challenged in new ways of thinking and being. I
have learned and will continue to learn how to alter my behavior and
the behavior of those who are in my life both professionally and personally.
I have been given a gift. I look forward to being able to pass this
same gift on to others. Tom Drummond's manner
and methods were disarming. I have never had a professor who was willing
to be so guileless. It never ceased to amaze me. To others I would say,
take the class. It will change your life. It is one of the most valuable
4-credit courses I have ever taken.
Ruth Holterman, Certified Teacher
This course
was amazing! It's made the greatest impact on my teaching abilities. I've
made off with a number of valuable tools. I had no idea there were so
many ways to manage behaviors.
This class affected me
in a very positive way. When dealing with problems, it gives me a whole
new and effective way of handing the situation. I look forward to a more
calming classroom because of this class. I recommend taking this class
because it opens up effective ways of dealing with problems. I am a better
teacher and will be a better parent because of this awesome class.
