ART AROUND
This book is a practical resource to increase visual arts
knowledge and skills within early childhood educators, with
the overall aim of having a positive effect on the visual
arts programs they provide for the children in their care.
The book outlines the Art Around Project and how visual
arts were implemented with adults and then children. This
practical approach is particularly useful if a centre wishes to
devise their own educational program for staff or provide
visual arts experiences for children. It is equally relevant to
a family who would like to offer their child an in-depth view
of visual arts.

GUIDING CHILDREN’S BEHAVIOUR
In our work with young children we are involved in promoting
their wellbeing, safety and development. Of fundamental
consideration is the understanding that a child’s behaviour
is their means of communication. This involves an
understanding of child development, collaboratively creating
positive social and physical environments and managing
challenging behaviours that are counter-productive to
individual and group social development.
This practice guide has a strengths-based approach and
gives educators the tools to develop Individualised Behaviour
Support Plans in collaboration with families, to prevent and
respond to challenging behaviours when necessary.
