Early childhood education teachers often feel underprepared for addressing behavior challenges in the classroom. This can limit a teacher's ability to teach academic and social skills and lead to interruptions in their educational experience such as suspensions or expulsions. Effective planning can help teachers create and manage positive learning environments. In this article, we describe how to effectively write behavior intervention plan goals for early childhood settings. Resources are shared to support early childhood behavioral goal creation.
