E1 One of the practitioner’s roles in meeting children’s learning needs could be to understand and work with other practitioners and staff. This can help to provide different learning opportunities to individual children because each child is unique as practitioners should take into consideration all diverse learning needs, for example there are many activities that could be changed to suit individual children. The practitioners’ role would therefore be to plan and resource an environment that is challenging and helps children learn in many different areas of their learning. The role of the practitioner in supporting the learning needs of children is they have to complete regular assessments on their development and learning to identify their progress and plan their next steps to help the children achieve further. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), (2012) states that the role of the practitioner is crucial in observing and reflecting on children’s spontaneous play, building on this by planning and providing a challenging environment which supports specific areas of children’s learning and extends and develops children’s language and communication in their play.
These observations should cover all areas which are Physical development, Communication and language, Literacy, Personal, social and education, Maths, Art and design and Understanding the world. Once observations have been made, key persons should then plan for each individual child with the view of building on skills and knowledge the child already has. There are lots of ways to assess a child, these include watching a child and taking notes, taking photos of what a child is playing or something they have made, keeping pieces of work and listening to the children. Following assessments made on the children, staff should then follow the settings planning guidelines, this can be done in a variety of ways depending on what suit’s the setting and the children. For example after doing our observations we then have a planning sheet for each day of the week.
3.1 explain the features of an environment or service that promotes the development of children and young people Planning an environment for children and young people requires a significant attention. The term ‘environment’ is more than just a furniture or the activities. Environment should be: 1. Stimulating and attractive: as young children learn through using their senses, it means environments for them should be interesting and visually attractive 2. Well planned and organised: working with children requires great organizational abilities- babies need to be fed when thay ae hungry, toddlers get restless and older children need opportunities to explore.
1.2 Describe with examples how different aspects of development can affect one another. When it comes to different aspects of development there are many examples that can describe how it effects one another, these are as follows: 1. If a child is less developed in reading, when it comes to children having reading time on the carpet in groups, they may feel uncomfortable and unable to form friendships due to embarrassment and low self esteem. This will then affect their language and social development. This can cause the child to feel lonely and angry at themselves because they are not at the other children's level of learning.
Task 2 Communication and Professional relationships with children, young people and adults in an educational environment is an important part of a professional relationship. * Describe how communication with children and young people differs across different age ranges and stages of development Children’s cognitive, emotional, physical and social skills develop as they go through life. As they grow and mature, their needs, abilities, interests and challenges change. Younger children may be able to comprehend through very simple language and concrete images, older children are able to process more complicated linguistic and visual expressions. Various psychological theories on human development are based on the concept of “stage”.
Lauren Fowler Pin: 30199220 OP2.17 1.1. Describe why creative development is important to children’s learning. Creative development is important to children’s development and learning because it helps your child to use their mind and imagination to express their own ideas. Even playing with their friends is also helping your child to understand that all family’s and cultures can be different. It also helps your child to make connections in their thinking and the way in which problem are solved.
In early years the things we do with the children are play, crafts, understanding of the world and help develop skills. How are we able to include all children with their ability/disability. When preparing your daily routine, class work, play time, prayer time and more, you always have to keep in mind that each child has different beliefs, different abilities. Preparing tasks that can be done by everyone ie: Crafts- painting, colouring, Having different size crayons, different size paint brushes, telling the children that we can use our hands/finger to paint, when having a child with special needs, or even if a child is not ale yet to hold a paint brush. Play time- making sure that every child is involved; no one is being left alone.
1.2 DESCRIBE WITH EXAMPLES HOW TO BEHAVE APPROPRIATELY FOR A CHILD OR YOUNG PERSON’S STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT? First impressions are important for everyone not only child but for parents and people we work with. Children of different age will need varying levels of attention; some may be more advanced than others. Children with “special needs” will need more help. When we work with infants at nursery to help them with basics vocabulary and numeracy we need to choose media that will help them understand.
To successfully fur fill the requirements I as the adult will have to provide and make resources accessible so that I can interact with the children and observe and reflect on each of the child’s learning experiences. By doing this I will be able to see what the children enjoy doing and how I can keep the child’s attention and concentration. To use the child centred approach you will have to look at every child as an individual with different strengths learning styles and interests as well as adapting to children who have learning difficulties or disabilities, to achieve this I will have to research their
I will look at different types of play which need to be provided for child's learning and development. Play is all about learning and it is important to help to learn about emotions, relationships, feelings of satisfactions, enjoyment and happiness and imaginations. Also important aspect of this essay will be the parents approach to play and their influence on children play behaviour, which will be discussed. There are many varieties of definition of the word 'play', as it all dependant on the persons own experiences. What could be a play for some, may not be play to others.
