ChildCare Education Institute® (CCEI), a distance learning professional development and certificate provider, is proud to introduce GUI101: Classroom Management Strategies to the online child care training course catalog.

The goal of this course is to provide teachers with systems and strategies to manage the classroom effectively, and optimize student learning. Effective classroom management requires use of many tools and methods, including positive guidance strategies for promoting appropriate individual behavior and a range of methods for maintaining a good group-learning environment. Course participants will learn to define mutual interaction as it pertains to children’s behavior in the classroom, identify aspects of effective praise and encouragement, and demonstrate an understanding of the importance of routines for early childhood development.

“Behavior management is one of the biggest challenges childcare professionals and teachers encounter on a day to day basis,” says Maria C. Taylor, President and CEO of CCEI. “This course offers strategies and guidelines to help build a productive and respectful learning environment, while also providing key practices to dealing with challenging behavior.”
