Key Points of Erikson's Life-Span Development Theory Erickson's theory has 8 stages of development. In each stage we are confronted with a developmental crisis. Each stage has positive and negative sides. Stage 1: • Trust versus Mistrust(preschool) • first year of life • trust requires warm nurturing and care giving Stage 2: • Autonomy versus Shame and Doubt. (preschool) • Child gains trust in their care givers, they are in control of their emotions Stage 3: • Initiative verses Guilt (3-5 years) • Their social world is widening • Adults expect children to be more responsible • Children develop uncomfortable guilt feelings if they are irresponsible Stage 4: • Industry versus Identity ( elementary-school years) • Children take initiative which gives them new experiences.
Safegurading the welfare of children and young people 1.2 The different agencies involved in safeguarding in schools are, social services, police, NHS, Brekfast clubs. There intentions are the same but there roles are completely different. Social services role is to make sure that all children are in a happy family enviroment also making sure that they are healthy and that there parents can cope with the childs development stages. Also if a child is off school for a long time or if they keep arriving late to school a teacher will report it to them so they can make a check. The police also make checks on parents/children if they have recived a complaint.
The more help you get can only be a positive thing for the whole family – this will have a knock on effect at school too. Speech and language therapists – I mentioned this earlier in another question. I was a key worker for a group of children who needed intervention, The children when they came into Y1 were withdrawn and reluctant to talk because of their problem. Through working as a team ( the SLT , the school and parent/carer) we provided those children with the best possible intervention to improve their speech. The SLT gave me , the key worker the information on how to work with them in school plus the parents and carers information on how to work with them at home.
Nicholas Johnson examines all the pros and cons of full-day kindergartens. He found that some critics believed that kindergarten classes had no written curriculum, and the teachers were more like daycare providers. On the opposing view Nicholas Johnson also found a hand full of critics that said there is an additional education benefit to having more time with kindergarten students. The third article, “Perspectives From An Educator: All Day Kindergarten” examines the effects of the student and the needs of the parent. Lori Skurka believes that all-day kindergarten is to better prepare students to succeed.
Also mentioned in the book, at this time, children want to be liked and want to fit in. They can learn faster and become more confident with having close friends; however, not having a close friendship by the age of 11 could lead to depression at 13. By the end of middle childhood, close friendships usually involve the same sex of the child, age, ethnicity, and also background (Berger, 2011). By the time they become adolescents, they become aware of their "status" in a social setting. They are more driven to become someone known (or popular) in their environment, such as in school.
then the teacher treats the pupil accordingly eg gives them more attention and work, ignores them. And the pupil internalises teachers expectation eg is a good pupil, gains confidence, works hard and achieves and the prophecy is fulfilled. Rosenthal and Jacobson studied a Californian primary school, they said they were carrying out a special test to spot pupils who would spurt ahead. They carried out an id test, ignoring the results, selected 20% of pupils who they then told staff were spurters. Returning a year later 47% of spurters had made significant progress.
Early year provision means to work with very young children, support and teach young children by playing with them instead of force them formally because young children cannot understand to teach them by formal education. They need to learn by having fun. If you don’t have any experience with young children you have to get training for that if you are working as a teacher assistant at school you can ask for the head teacher to work in nurseries or receptions for the experience. Early year curriculum in England is set by the age of 3 to 5 years and used in receptions and nurseries. In 2012 educational authorities set one standard curriculum framework for learning, developing, safety and care for all children from birth to end of reception.
Wendy’s first experience came through working with her own child, which led her to working with children at the Sara A Reed Foundation ( Erie, PA) This is an early intervention Center with an after school behavioral program, where the classroom consisted of 10-12 behaviorally challenged children with only one teacher and Mrs. Silva (aide) When the subject was presented to her she rejected at first with the thoughts of not being able to handle working with children in such a mental state and then returning home with her own child. But she did and over the years she has advanced and has also used experiences from place to place as well as developing curriculum and plans to accommodate the other deserving children. Upon
I have given myself the chance to know me, as a learner, by writing this paper. Formal Educational Experiences I skipped preschool and went straight to kindergarten because my father found out that I was a year too old to attend preschool. I was the top student in class, but I had to repeat it because my mother wanted me to watch over my younger sister. In kindergarten, I learned the basics such as alphabets, simple words, numbers, additions, rhymes and so forth, but I also learned team work and being responsible of your own actions. From first to fourth grade, I was still the top student in my classes.
The Affect of Culture On Learning Styles and Behavior Nicole Souza Marie’s parents just did not understand. It was Marie’s first time in public school and after years of tutors and home schooling, Marie was smart and bright and going to High school. What Mr. and Mrs Samuels did not understand was why their daughter was struggling in English. She was perfectly prepared for High School. Her parents got the best tutors and followed the most prestigious lesson plans they could find, triple checked that they were teaching her everything, and even went as far as to set up an appointment with every one of her teachers to make sure that she was on the right track.
