The insights, advice, and strategies that will be shared are based on research and practical experience analyzing, restructuring, and transforming numerous school and afterschool learning environments. The focus will be on supporting the leader’s role in arranging the parts, elements, or constituents of any organization.

In this edWebinar, Dr. Paul G. Young shares how to:

  • Identify challenging behaviors (of both adults and children) that can be re-directed for positive outcomes
  • Analyze strengths and weaknesses of specific parts and times of educational environments that support positive behavior or allow problems to develop
  • Formulate a vision of improved educational programming and develop plans for teaching common, consistent expectations of all constituents
  • Understand the difference between discipline and punishment
  • Enhance your ability to communicate expectations, influence the capacity of front line staff to manage children, and create a program culture that leads to higher levels of achievement and satisfaction for everyone

Early childhood, Head Start, out-of-school-time, and school leaders, educators, and staff are invited to watch this edWebinar. Learn how to structure your learning environments to promote positive behaviors!
