I am starting work on an article concerning gender differences and conceptions of classroom and behavior management in an ECE environment and I'm looking for some input.
Last year I was asked to step in and temporarily teach two different Head Start classes that had lost teachers mid year. Both classes had been without any real consistency or direction for weeks and the behavior challenges were many.
