New behaviour guidance workshops, free for educators
25 Jul 2024
Autism Queensland (AQ) is delivering new fully-funded workshops for educators working in kindergartens, day care, and outside school hours care, as part of Positive Behaviour Guidance service funded by Queensland Government.
The foundational workshops are a key component of the Positive Behaviour Guidance service AQ is delivering to educators working in kindergartens, family day care, long day care, and outside hours school care as part of the Queensland Government’s Early Childhood Guidance pilot program.
Positive behaviour guidance is a proactive approach that fosters children’s self-expression, self-reliance, self-esteem. It enables educators to develop positive relationships with children while respecting cultural values, individual development, and maintaining the dignity and rights of each individual. These interactive and collaborative workshops will unpack five core topics:
- What is positive behaviour guidance?
- Positive relationships
- Regulation
- Setting up for success
- Strengthening supports
The sessions are available in a variety of formats, including online, to accommodate for varying schedules and workplace demands. Follow up workshops will be scheduled as the project progresses, along with tailored resources designed to integrate theory into practice.
Educators also have access to a fully-funded, on-demand educator phoneline, dedicated to supporting them on this topic, and supporting neurodivergent children in their settings.
