1.)
After reading and watching the content for this module, provide a 1-2 page response to the following prompts:
What did you already know about social and emotional development in infants and toddlers?
Did you learn anything new about what social and emotional learning is and how it influences later development?
Do you think that adults under estimate the importance of appropriate social and emotional development in infants and toddlers?
Please reference the readings and videos in your response. Cite accordingly.

2.)

Using all the information you collected from this module, create a flyer for the families in your class. I would like you to highlight a specific area of temperament development (think about the different sections in the article) and create an informative take-home flyer for your parents. Focus on the following questions:

What is temperament?
How is temperament different than personality?
How do children show us their different temperaments?
How can knowing about children’s different temperaments help us help them more effectively?
Also, include at least one external website for parents to access additional information.

3.)

Serve and Return

Then, create an action plan similar to this one. You will identify a developmentally appropriate scenario and show how you would interact with the child following the 5 steps. Remember, your first step must start with a “serve”. The “serve” is child initiated. I would like at least one paragraph for each step, and creativity will be part of your grade!

Fostering Culturally Responsive Partnerships with English Language Learner Families in Early Childhood Education

Posted on | by Kelvin

 

 

Imagine you are a teacher working in a diverse school setting with a large English language learner (ELL) population. You recognize that not all ELL families are the same and understanding each child and family context is essential to ensuring a successful school partnership with the families.

 

After reviewing the “ECE-562 Case Studies,” discuss how to partner with each ELL family to address the individual learner needs in 750-1,000 words.

As an introduction, provide a description of what you need to know, understand, and value as an early childhood educator about the diverse characteristics of ELL families.

Description of how the language, culture, and family background of Mohammad, Maria, and Patrick influence the normative sequences of their early development and learning.

Explanation of how using multiple perspectives relevant to Mohammad, Maria, and Patrick’s personal, family, and community experiences and cultural diversity will promote their learning outcomes.

At least four strategies for collaborating with the families to develop trusting, respectful, affirming, and culturally responsive partnerships that demonstrate positive and supportive relationships. Include at least one strategy for effective communication with the families.

A minimum of two community resources for each child, to support their learning and development and their families. Include how you would build partnerships between early learning settings, schools, and community organizations and agencies.

As a conclusion, identify the ethical decisions you would need to consider for your ELL students. Discuss how you would promote the common good for the students, their families, and any colleagues working with the students when making decisions. Include how your ethical decisions are consistent with the Christian worldview.

 

The Role of Fraction Calculators in Teaching Fraction Computation

Posted on | by Kelvin

Several calculators are now available that do computations in fractional form as well as in decimal form. Some of these automatically give results in the simplest terms. If you have access to such a calculator, discuss how it might be used in teaching fractions and especially fraction computation. If such calculators become commonplace, should we continue to teach fraction computation?
