Finally, the moment has arrived; report cards have come home! A day to rejoice and celebrate the hard work my children have put in for the past six weeks! As my eyes scan down the columns, my glance comes to a screeching halt: Spanish, 45, F. I am sure it must be a mistake. I have seen my son’s grades in Spanish, and nothing points to a grade this low. Where does it come from, what happened, and why was I oblivious to it?
As an educator, being involved in the education of all four of my children has been a vital, but often frustrating task. I sometimes shared Darling-Hammond’s complaint: “In the view of most educators, parents, employers, and students our current education system is failing” (1997, p. xi). Assignments were not written down by my children in their student planner, homework was not turned in, and grades were low due to lack of preparedness for the tests.
Why Most Fail in Language Learning & How You Can SucceedJohn Fotheringham
If an adult fails to learn a foreign language (and most do), most of us assume they simply don’t study hard enough or just aren’t good at languages. It’s certainly true that some learners are lazy, and given the same methods, certain folks tend to pick up languages faster than others. But neither of these is the real issue; both are but symptoms of the underlying problem: 1) crappy methods, 2) crappy materials, and 3) crappy attitudes.

During this course you have been building knowledge and understandin.docxhasselldelisa
During this course you have been building knowledge and understanding of the complexities, challenges, and importance of quality preschool environments. This week, you will have an opportunity to observe in a preschool setting. As you have learned, the quality of the environment in terms of teaching practices, physical environment, materials available, opportunities for play and learning that engages children in meaningful exploration and discovery can have a significant impact on children's development in all domains.
Click on the links below to download and print out the Observation Assignment documents. You will use these documents to carry out the assignment.
Observation Assignment Sheet
Step One: Plan
·
Review the learning resources for the course, as well as your application and discussion assignments.
Think about the videos you watched and the glimpses you were given into preschool settings.
·
Confirm your observation, make certain you understand where to go when you arrive, and thank the school for this opportunity.
·
Carefully read over the Observation Guide before you observe in your preschool setting. Use this sheet to record your thoughts, insights, observations, and questions. You may also want to bring along a laptop for taking notes.
Step Two: Observe
Note: When you observe in a classroom and reflect on what you have seen, keep in mind that you are observing “one moment in time.” Due to time constraints, there are many things that you cannot know or see—details of who children are as individuals, children’s history in the program, children’s developmental strengths and challenges, specific reasons for teacher interactions, etc. In other words, you are glimpsing a part of a big picture that is best understood by the adults who work with these children daily.
·
Introduce yourself to the teacher and ask for suggestions about where to sit. Find a place, or places, where you can see different areas of the room and different kinds of interactions. (You may want to sit in several places in the course of the hour you are in the room).
·
Use the Observation Guide as you observe the adults and children in the classroom. Take notes that will help you remember what you are observing; also note any questions you have about what you are observing.
·
Review your notes.
Read over the notes on your Observation Guide, filling in any “blanks” while your memory is fresh.
Step Three: Reflect
·
Reflect on what you have learned in this course, what you observed in the preschool setting, and additional thoughts you have had since. With all of this in mind, complete the following:
Summarize:
o
Ways in which the philosophy and practice of encouraging, guiding, and supporting children learning through play was demonstrated in this setting
o
Ways in which the environment you observed represented a quality physical environment for young children.
o
Ways in which the environment you observed fostered encouraged, guided, and supported chil.

From the 1600s to today, the education of young children in the U.S. has changed dramatically and has been influenced by social, economic, and political events and trends. To develop a better understanding of these
Though there is still much to learn, you have been considering found.docxbrockdebroah
Though there is still much to learn, you have been considering foundational ideas and principles related to the physical environment of a quality preschool setting and the ways that the physical environment can foster children's play, development, and learning. For this Application Assignment, you will begin to develop your vision of how an ideal preschool setting might look.
Before you begin, think about:
What preschool children are like, what they do and what they need
Considerations in creating physical environments that foster children's initiative
Considerations in creating physical environments that foster children's play
Considerations in creating physical environments that foster children's self-control
Additional components of quality physical environments
Part 1: Visualize
Close your eyes. Visualize a preschool environment that truly encourages, supports, and guides children's play and learning. Let your mind travel around the room. What does it look like? What does it feel like? How does it sound? What are the adults in the room doing? What are the children doing? How are they interacting with each other, the materials, the space? What kind of learning experiences are they involved in? What opportunities do children have to demonstrate their initiative and self-control? If a visitor walked in, how would he or she describe the culture, energy, and learning in this setting?
Part 2: Brainstorm
Write down at least 20 words or phrases that describe a quality physical environment; one that meets preschoolers needs and interests, fosters initiative and self-control, and is alive with play and learning.
Part 3: Describe
Now that you have taken time to visualize and brainstorm, write your description of a quality physical environment and your rationale for positioning. In addition, you may also choose to submit a drawing to demonstrate arrangement of the physical environment. You may use PowerPoint® or free (trial) technologies like Inspiration® to create your organizer in an electronic format. You may also choose to draw your graphic organizer, scan it and insert it as an image into your assignment submission. Make sure that the image is visible within the assignment submission.
In summary, you must write the description of your physical environment. It is optional to include a drawing of your physical environment along with your description. Be sure to address each of the following areas:
Classroom arrangement and activity/learning areas
Classroom atmosphere
Learning experiences available
Materials accessible
Types of interactions supported
Note:
Be sure to cite the Learning Resources to substantiate your thinking.

Benefits of Preschool . As an early childhood professional,
you will often be asked questions from parents and
community members regarding the benefits of sending their
children to preschool. After reading Chapter 1 and drawing
from your experience, discuss the benefits of a preschool
education
Theory and Behavior . After reading Chapters 1 and 2 select a
Theorist whose work most closely aligns with your thoughts
regarding early development. Describe the theorist’s work
2. and discuss how their work aligns with your own
understanding and beliefs.
Theory Summary. Using the concept summary in Chapter 2 of
the required text, fill in the blanks for each of the
developmental theories in the table provided. (This table can
be accessed in the online course.) Provide examples from
your own experience or the textbook in the last column.
These examples can be written or can be an image,
illustration, or case scenario. In the last row, describe your
ideal theory of child development, combining the elements
that you believe encapsulate your own beliefs and
experiences
Nature vs. Nurture . The debate concerning the influence of
inherited traits and abilities compared to the influence of
environment on human development has been argued for
decades. The required reading this week provides
information on the extent of which human development and
behavior is the result of nature (heredity) and of nurture
(environmental influences).
In this discussion you will debate nature vs. nurture. Below is
your assigned debate grouping by the first letter of your last
name:
a. A-M: Proponent of Nature
b. N-Z: Proponent of Nurture
For this debate, you must develop a persuasive, research-based
argument showing the extent to which your assigned
influence affects development. Be sure to utilize both the
course text as well as other scholarly resources to support
your argument. Remember, you are arguing that either
nature or nurture is the most important influence on
development.
3. Conception to Birth . There are three major stages from
conception to birth. They are the germinal stage (first two
weeks following conception); the embryonic stage (until the
end of the eighth week); and the fetal stage (until birth).
Complete a table, like the one below, making sure to identify
the development that happens in each stage and how the
development is affected by outside influences, both positive
and negative. Finally, list your recommendations for the
healthy development of a child.
Point of View . You are a parent of a child who has a serious
peanut allergy. You are meeting with your child’s new
teacher to explain this allergy and what specific needs your
child has. Your goal for this meeting is to ensure your child’s
comfort and safety in the classroom by communicating your
expectations to the teacher.
For your journal entry, reflect on the following questions:
a. How do you expect your child to be treated not only by his
teacher, but by the rest of the school staff?
b. How would you want the school staff to talk with the other
children about your child’s specific needs and
accommodations?
c. In addition to the teacher, who else should be involved in
ensuring the safety of your child?
Early Language Development . Take a moment to watch the
video, A Place of Our Own: Early Academics – Part 1. After
reading about early language development in Chapter 5 of
your text and watching the video, describe a learning center
that would promote early language development. Your
description must include the learning objective of the center,
the materials provided, and step-by-step instructions for
implementation of the activity. Make sure to include the
4. specific areas of language that the center targets, the
approach you will be using to introduce this center, and
methods for assessing student’s development.
Optimal Brain Development . The human brain is highly
dependent on experiences for development. Discuss your
role as a teacher or caregiver in a child’s life in terms of
promoting optimal brain development through exposure to
various experiences. Give three examples of appropriate
stimulation (activities) you can employ in the classroom or
daycare center to promote learning. How can you include
activities outside the classroom that will reinforce the
learning? How can you involve the parents and community
resources (i.e., fieldtrips)? Lastly, include information on a
field trip you could take your class on in your local area that
would extend the learning that you included in one of your
sample activities. Relate experiences from your own
schooling such as field trips, community events, and activities
that connected your learning to both the community and
your home.
Developmental Milestones . The purpose of this assignment
is to creatively demonstrate an understanding of infant
developmental milestones as they pertain to cognition,
motor skills, sensation, and perception. Using information
from Chapter 5 of your text, write a short story about a
child’s journey from birth to age 1. This can be a fictional
child, or can be based on a real child. The story should be
three to five pages in addition to the title page and the
reference page. Use at least one reference in addition to your
text. Your paper should also be formatted according to APA
style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
a. Describe the child’s sensory experiences at birth (e.g. sight,
5. hearing, movement).
b. Analyze how these senses develop and become more
evolved? At the age of 6 months, identify what this same
child can hear, see, and do?
c. Describe what a day in this child’s life might look like by
age 1. Include pictures in your Word document or compose
your story using Storybird. Watch the video, Storybird Quick
Tour , for assistance.
If you choose to create your story in Storybird, you may
collaborate with a partner in class by using the collaboration
tool. Make sure to notify your instructor of your
collaboration and make sure both of you submit your
Storybird link in a Word document for grading. Include the
following developmental milestones in your story:
a. Social and Emotional
§ Enjoys imitating people in his play.
§ Shows specific preferences for certain people and toys.
§ Tests parental responses to his actions during feedings.
§ Tests parental responses to his behavior.
§ Prefers mother and/or regular caregiver over all...
