News from Ontario: a message from Jeanine Plamondon, project coordinator, Canadian Child Care Federation The Canadian Child Care Federation has created Meeting the Challenge Online, a web-based course designed to guide early childhood practitioners and others who work with young children as they explore the causes and prevention of children’s challenging behaviours and develop appropriate responses to them.
This e-learning course was co-developed by two ECE instructors and e-learning experts from Grant MacEwan College in Alberta and expands on the bestselling publication Meeting the Challenge: Effective Strategies for Challenging Behaviours in Early Childhood Environments, by Barbara Kaiser and Judy Sklar Rasminsky. Pilot-tested by early learning and care practitioners (including family child care providers) from a range of settings, Meeting the Challenge Online will help you develop effective intervention strategies and enhance children’s prosocial behaviour. It will also give you the opportunity to share your experiences with practitioners across Canada in an online learning environment – at your own pace and in the comfort of your home or child care facility. Meeting the Challenge Online is a nine-week course covering eight topics through a variety of learning activities, such as required reading, implementation of skills learned, individual and group assignments, individual reflection and “e-communicating” with fellow learners and coaches. This proven online learning course will be available in English and French starting in Fall 2006. For more information, on Meeting the Challenge Online, visit the website and download the brochure, or contact us at: mtcinfo@cccf-fcsge.ca.If you’re interested in taking the course, download and return the interest form to CCCF.
