Guiding Children Successfully
Guiding Children Successfully (GCS) is a new series of free video lessons
available for loan through the Faulkner County Extension Office to parents and
child care providers. The series is produced by the Arkansas Education
Television Network (AETN) in partnership with the University of Arkansas
Cooperative Extension Service (UACES). Dr. Wally Goddard, Family Life
Specialist, hosts the 12 part series. In the series Dr. Goddard addresses topics
ranging from motivating children to teaching children responsibility.
There is a self-study program based around the series that can be used by
child care providers, parents and educators to receive up to 12 hours of
verified training through the Arkansas Early Childhood Professional Development
System (AECPDS). The self study materials include learning checks and an
evaluation form to help validate engaged effort by each participant.
