The Policy and Strategy Toolkit includes a set of strategies based on:

• a collection of lessons learned and challenges during the PBS-ECEC train the trainers program and implementation of PW-PBS in the participating countries
• promising practices with concrete and practical examples
• policy recommendations
• easy-to-use tools for ECEC professionals and policymakers to adequately and efficiently implement PW-PBS

When exploring this Toolkit, all the recommendations interconnect and are interdependent in such a way that they build on each other. Their full implementation across educational settings and systems is expected to create a synergistic effect.

After months of preparation, we are very pleased to share that the PBS-ECEC symposium titled “Implementing positive behaviour support in early childhood education and care in Europe: What, why, how, with whom and for whom?” presented at the EECERA2023 Conference was a success. See you next year! #eecera23 #pbs-ecec

A few snapshots from the PBS-ECEC Result 3 in Portugal: Training ECEC teams to effectively implement a PW-PBS approach aimed at promoting children’s socioemotional development and preventing challenging behaviours early on.

Professor Sílvia Barros (our PBS-ECEC Project coordinator) has recently given a presentation entitled ”Promoting Positive Behaviour in Early Childhood Education: A project linking internationalization, research and practice” at the NETT (Net(t)work for Education and Teacher Training) international meeting held in Austria. The dissemination of the PBS-ECEC project and its results is crucial for its sustainable implementation across European ECEC settings and systems in the future.
