Required Component
This assignment (key assessment) is required for completion of
this course. If this assignment is not completed with 70% of
possible
points, (at least 70 points of the 100 possible on each case

16. study), you will not receive a passing grade in this class. If you
do not earn
at least 70 points, you will be allowed one revision on each case
study. The maximum grade a student can earn on a revised
assignment is 70 % of the possible points (which is 70 points).
See syllabus for more details.
Case Study Description
The purpose of this case study is to give the reader a detailed
description of a child as viewed by you, the writer, with respect
to the
developmental domains specified below. You will select and
report on a child in each of the four case studies: 1.) infant or
toddler (ages
0-2), 2.) Preschool (ages 3-5), 3.) Middle childhood (ages 6-
11), and 4.) Adolescence (ages 12-18). Be sure to report the
child’s
current level in each domain. You may choose any child
EXCEPT your own, for example, extended family members,
neighbors, or
friends. If you have any questions or concerns regarding
selection of children, contact your professor.
Your report should be written in formal academic language.
Your report should be an objective evaluation using information
gathered
from direct observation. You may supplement this information
with facts provided by the family or caregiver. Examples of
objective
reporting are: “The mother reports Jason feels more secure
when he sleeps with his teddy bear,” or “The caregiver stated
that Gina
shares her crayons at the art table with any child who needs
crayons.” The case study should NOT include subjective
(opinion)
statements such as: “Jason seems like a secure child,” or “Gina

17. is the nicest girl in the room.” Be as thorough as possible with
the data
available to you. Include as much factual data as you can to
"paint" a comprehensive picture of the child
Case Study Outline
Use the following headings, prompts, and rubric to guide you as
you write each section of the case study. Type the headings for
each
section. Provide plenty of descriptions and details. Use only
the summary section to include any relevant personal
interpretations,
opinions, or conclusions. Case study requirements include
college level writing (1000 words, double-spaced). Use the

Give the child's name, age, family make up, and a brief
description of physical appearance.
Describe the child's environment at home, childcare and/or
school.
Describe characteristics that identify the socioeconomic status
of the child’s family. Instead of reporting income, report items
such as
parents’ education level, housing and neighborhood, current
job, etc. Please do not ask the family any personal income
questions!
Tell why you have chosen this child.

Specifically describe the child’s small (fine) skills
Specifically describe the child’s large (gross) motor skills.

evidence do you see that indicates the child understands spoken
language?
How does she express herself? As applicable, discuss the
child’s literacy skills (reading, composition, math, technology).

text citations (Manis, 2017).
Social and Emotional Development NAEYC STANDARD 1a
Describe the child’s social interactions with other children,
family, relatives, siblings, classmates, etc. (sharing, solving
problems, playing
and working cooperatively).
What evidence do you see that would indicate a positive or
negative self-esteem? Include observations and examples that

19. might
indicate whether the child is generally happy or unhappy, secure
or insecure, stressed or relaxed.
What signs do you see that would indicate appropriate or poor
emotional adjustment?
As applicable, find out how the child describes him or herself
(self-concept).
*Compare the child to the norms for children this age, using in-
text citations (Manis, 2017).
Family and Home Factors NAEYC STANDARD 1b
Describe family conditions that may affect the child’s
development.
Identify the size of the family, what family members are present
in the home, the marital status of parents or guardians, etc.
Information may be obtained from the caregiver and/or parent.
Based on the research presented in your textbook, describe how
each factor may influence the child’s development and learning.
*Include in-text citations to support your descriptions.
Reminder: no opinions are allowed in this section of the paper.
Summary
The summary should include two parts (two different
paragraphs).
Part I: On the basis of facts and your observations, summarize
the most important factors influencing the child and his/her
behavior?
You may offer your interpretations, opinions, and conclusions
in this section of the paper. You should include at least 5
factors.
Part II: NAEYC STANDARD 1c In the second part of the
summary, use your knowledge of child development to describe
an ideal
learning environment for this child (home and/or school). If
you believe the child is already in an ideal learning

20. environment, describe
this environment. Include at least one idea for each of the
following: healthy, respectful, supportive, and challenging
learning
environment. Paint a picture of this environment with your
narrative.
NOTE: You must include in-text citations from your text to
support your observations in each section: Physical
Development, Cognitive
Development, Social and Emotional Development, and Family
or Home Factors. Be sure your in-text citations clearly relate to
your
observations and explain how they are related. You may also
include brief quotes from the text, with appropriate in-text
citations.
Consult APA resources for correct formatting of in-text
citations. You are also required to have a references page (APA
format) at the
end of the case study.
Example of a case study in-text citation:
After reviewing worksheets and homework that Alex completed
in pre-k, it is evident that his handwriting has become more
legible. His
ability to print the alphabet, write his first and last name, and
copy a square, triangle, and circle, demonstrate that he is on
track
compared to other children his age. By the time children
complete kindergarten, they can accurately copy many two-
dimensional shapes
and they can integrate these into their drawings (Manis, 2017).
