Abstract

Behavior management remains a significant challenge in today’s classrooms, highlighting the need for proactive approaches that promote prosocial behavior and reduce undesired behaviors. The Preschool Life Skills (PLS) Curriculum, developed by Dr. Hanley and colleagues, systematically teaches foundational classroom skills before students are expected to demonstrate them independently. This poster presents an implementation of the PLS Curriculum in an inclusive preschool program serving half students with IEPs and half without. Results demonstrate increased skill behavior for all learners and implications for inclusive early childhood settings are discussed.
