| Reducing Exclusionary Discipline Practices in Early Childhood Education | While research shows that exclusionary discipline practices in the early years are ineffective and developmentally inappropriate, young children continue to be suspended and expelled at high rates. An increasing number of states have taken steps to ensure that young children are not removed from programs due to their behavior. This report from Abbie Lieberman and Aaron Loewenberg of New America, explores how Illinois and Colorado are limiting the use of these exclusionary discipline practices and providing supports to educators to equip them to better serve the children in their programs. | Document |

| Scripted Story: Some Days are Different | This Social Story from The National Center for Pyramid Model Innovations "acknowledges that children might spend time in a different classroom and temporarily have different teachers and peers. The language in the story explains that the adults in the classroom are there to help them throughout the day and acknowledges that children might feel sad or worried when they are in a different classroom. Having copies in each classroom allows for consistency across the program in how the changes are explained to children and how the adults at school can support young children during the times of uncertainty." | Document |
| Scripted Story: When Our Teacher is Away, We Can Still Learn and Play | This Social Story from The National Center for Pyramid Model Innovations, "will help teachers and program staff prepare children for when their teacher is away. Teachers are encouraged to read a scripted story, like the sample version, to children before a planned absence to reassure children and help them understand what will happen in the classroom when the teacher is away. Place the scripted story in an easy-to-find place should a substitute need to use the story. Then, substitute teachers can use the story to help children understand their role within the classroom and reassure children that their teacher will be back soon." | Document |
