Recipe for Creating a Peaceful Classroom - Tamara Pelosi - Bog

The goal for this guide book is to provide a guide for early educators on how to implement a comprehensive approach for understanding and responding to challenging behaviors that are exhibited in a classroom. The ingredients for this approach are richly rooted in researched child development, brain development, developmental appropriate problem solving, proactive strategies, intervention techniques, self-awareness tools and the peaceful classroom's values and principles.Implementing this approach creates a safe and cooperative setting where children are free to investigate the world around them while the teachers marvel at the wonders of the children. To inspire learning we need to reach more than the child's mind, we need to reach their heart as well. The willingness to be open to a new approach for understanding challenging behaviors by proactive practices, self-reflection, and a non-judgmental environment will assist in creating the peaceful classroom.
