The model includes a focus on building relationships with children, families and colleagues, designing environments that support young children’s social-emotional competence, strategies for teaching social skills and promoting emotional development, and a systematic approach for addressing challenging behavior when it is persistent and not responsive to developmentally appropriate guidance procedures. Prerequisite(s): Level 2 placement in English and Reading .
