Effective teachers need to be leaders not bosses. The most adult behavior any teacher can
demonstrate is using guidelines instead of rules. Guidelines set standards for the classroom, but
unlike rules, guidelines enforce the standards in a positive way. Guidelines can be used for all
ages including preschool level such as, friendly touches only, we use words to solve our
problems, sometimes we need to stop, look, and listen, we all help to take care of our classroom,
we are friendly to each other and ourselves, making mistakes is OK , you just try to learn from
them. Using guidelines also encourages the teacher to be more understanding rather than patient.
The best way I would apply developmental culturally, & age appropriate strategies to support
growth and development of individual children is start with observations. I would observe the
child in many different settings such as home, classroom, playground, and on the bus. I would
also observe the child's health, eating habits, cultural awareness, and along with recording
developmental achievements. When all my observations are over I would plan appropriate
activity plans for the child and or other children in the classroom. If I observed any certain delays
or developmental issues I would first contact just family and proceed with the proper steps to
create a beneficial environment for the child. Teachers can and should model problem solving
skills so children can better understand them. for instants is feeling angry they should model
keeping calm and talking about their feelings and even demonstrating taking breaths or counting.
