Topic 3 Course Description:
2 Clock Hours
CDA Settings:

• Infant/Toddler
• Preschool
• Family Child Care (Mixed-Age)

As children develop, their understanding of what is right and wrong does as well. It is important as educators to help them understand this distinction and to foster an environment for positive learning and growth. In this course, we will discuss what positive reinforcement and redirection are and how they can be used in an early childhood classroom to benefit children’s development.

Learning Outcomes:

• Explain how positive reinforcement is used
  
• Demonstrate the correct usage of positive reinforcement to shape behavior when working with children
  
• Interpret the difference between bribing and positive reinforcement
  
• Discuss effective redirection techniques with peers
  
• State some reasons why positive reinforcement is a useful technique
