Cultural deprivation refers to a lack of the ‘cultural equipment’ they need to succeed in school, such as, language, attitudes and values and intellectual development. Many sociologists have stated that working class have lower educational achievement because they have not been socialised properly by their parent. . Using Item A and elsewhere I am going to assess the view that working class children underachieve because they are culturally deprived. Cultural deprivation can effect achievement due to lack of the right language skills.
Some of the children that will enter our classroom may come from undesirable environments. As early childhood educators it is our responsibility to find strategies that will help those with autism, ADHD, and other environmental issues, to change their challenging behaviors into one that would be more suitable for learning. Children with autism have challenging behavior because their brains deal information in a different way. These children have a hard time learning to take turns and sharing with others. Autistic children are known for self-stimulating behavior such as; flapping of their arms when upset.
. The value of using functional assessment information to develop effective behavioral interventions has been demonstrated, especially with students who have emotional and behavioral disorders yet who have normal cognitive abilities (Hagan, Lewis-Palmer, & Sugai, 1998). Not every student that begins school is ready to learn. Some children cause so much disruption within the class that it distracts other students that are ready and willing to learn to lose focus and not obtain the lesson that they are there to learn. Some students just are not mentally prepared for the classroom whether it be because they struggle with social or self-management skills, or because they have a tough home life, they can because a disruption for others so it is essential for the school system to come up with a way to diffuse the maladaptive behavior.
This is false because other students which have disabilities do perform even better in class than those without disabilities. The fact that one has disability does not mean that he or she can not understand concepts when learning as well as studying. This misconception affects the learners with disability in many ways Wolfendale (2001). Firstly it lowers one-self esteem. When the students with disability hear that they can not cope with education, some think that they are already failures and that they can not understand anything in class.
The Out-of-Sync Child Liberty University Kari Lane 11-26-2012 PSYC 221 The Out-of Sync Child, by Carol Stock Kranowitz, addresses the challenges faced by those with sensory processing disorder. This book takes a little known, often missed disability and makes it accessible to the people who need this information the most. Parents and caregivers desperately need coping skills and resources to help children with SPD and related issues. My report addresses a disorder that many people are not aware of. My report of the Out-of-Sync Child is intended to bring light to issues children with Sensory Processing Disorder, and other developmental disabilities, face on an everyday basis.
This book poses tough questions that should be addressed to ensure that children are protected and correctly guided while using a computer. Dr. Healy expresses concern that too little time has been spent studying the effects of educational technology, which consequently, can cause greater harm than good. Dr. Healy addresses the misconception that computers and educational software is the "key to successful student achievement". After countless hours in classrooms observing and talking to teachers and students, Dr. Healy suggests that perhaps many parents and educators "want to believe that technology is the `magic bullet' that will take care of problems in our education system that previously failed to be addressed" (p. 18). Consequently, she believes too much emphasis is placed on technology, taking away from the development of basic reading, math and problem solving skills.
Schools offer lots of support to children with learning difficulties such as one to one lessons to keep the child up to date on their education like the other children. Children with learning difficulties don’t always realise they are different to other children and can make the child feel left out. Bullying Children being bullied will lack in education because instead of studying on work they will be too scared of the bully it will play on their minds taking the concentration off work. They might also have no friends because the other children may also be scared of this bully and don’t want to get involved, this can lower the child’s self-esteem and can cause a long term impact on their lives such as turning into a bully themselves when their
Children in this age are still considered being at Piaget’s Pre-Operational stage, not quite ready to come to terms with abstract concepts and logic (Fetherston, 2007). Some will come into the class with delayed life skills, such as toileting, others may shy due to lack of siblings or earlier socialisation. One particular issue common to all students in this range is their level of understanding. Students in this developmental bracket may not be able to make inferences and draw conclusions on their own. In relation to behaviour management, this means that there is a risk of a child not understanding if the rules are too vague, or if the consequences are only implied rather than clarified.
When a child hits age five there are certain skills that should be developed such as paying attention, keeping certain thoughts to them, and staying focused when given a task. A child with ADHD will have trouble staying focused when given a task by a teacher, often leading to missed assignments and outbursts in the classroom. The behavior problems associated with this disease makes it difficult to keep friends. Classmates may think it is funny at first, but eventually they grow bored of the classroom interruptions. Children with this disorder have trouble recognizing the personal space of others, which can sometimes lead to child spending a lot of time alone.
Expository Text and Middle School Students: Some Lessons Learned Chris Street Voices from the Middle Abstract When students reach their middle school years, they are entering a very important phase where reading is essential to their education. However, this is a time when students are known for avoiding reading. This finding is based on the article “Expository Text and Middle School Students: Some Lessons Learned” written by Chris Street. According to the article, one of the solutions to engaging students with expository text is to treat narrative text and expository text differently. They necessitate dissimilar skills and teaching methods.
