Behavior is information. Before responding to a child’s behavior, educators need to consider what that behavior means and why it might be occurring. This Simulation Case Study helps you, as an educator, develop your skills for understanding and responding to children’s challenging behaviors in the classroom, including what to notice, what not to assume, what additional information to gather, how to respond in the moment, and what longer-term support to provide.
Note: This simulation is not intended to teach you to diagnose children’s challenging behavior. Rather, it is designed to strengthen your ability to look beyond the behavior by exploring its meaning and potentially contributing factors, and respond in ways that support the child’s learning and development.
