Module 4FD028 - Introduction The aim of this module is to show an understanding of the key concepts and approaches in Early Years provision and practice. By reflecting on how these are applied in practice, evaluating the impact on children’s learning and development and the practitioner’s role. The notion of ‘quality’ and the impact of one key concept on the child’s development and providing quality provision and practice will be discussed. Namely Transition from an Early years setting into a school environment for the first time paying particular attention to the role of the adult and the impact on the child’s well-being. In the developing field of Early Years, it is becoming more and more important for practitioners to have an awareness of the many topics that impact on the provision available to young children.
In this written piece I will be discussing the current frameworks in relation to play and learning. For this assignment I will be using the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Within the EYFS handbook their certain requirements that the practitioners must ensure, these requirements are categorised into different sections the first section is the areas of learning and development, there are prime areas which consist of. Communication and language, physical development, and personal, social and emotional development. These areas can be meet through certain activities, for example literacy, mathematics, understanding of the world, and expressive arts and design, these activities are important for the child as they can help them develop in the prime areas if development, expressive arts and design can help the child emotionally as they can paint a picture of how they are feeling.
Support children and young people to achieve their learning potential Understand the legislation and policies that underpin education and learning for children and young people 1.2: explain how policies have influenced access to learning opportunities for children and young people Policies have influenced access to learning opportunities for children and young people because of the: * UNCRC - articles 19, 23, 24, 28 most specifically, 29 and 30. * Children’s act... 2004 gives rise to ECM (Every Child Matters) * Education act * Equality act * National policy Every child matters * National policy Every parent matters & parental perspective * Home nation frameworks: EYFS * Wales: foundation phase * Northern Ireland: foundation stage * Scotland: Pre-birth to 3 and curriculum for excellence
• Importance of including parents/guardians in planning. Planning • Current influences on the planning and provision of learning opportunities. • Importance of planning and providing learning opportunities to meet children’s diverse needs. • Plans of curriculum activities • How planned curriculum can promote learning Role of practitioner • The role of the practitioner in meeting children’s learning needs • Reflective account how a practitioner can support the learning needs of the children. After the practitioner know the information and understands it, there next role is too use it to meet the children’s learning needs.
It is about changing schools to make them more responsive to the needs of all children.” (Mittler, 2000 cited Carpenter,Ashdown & Bovair 2001) It is widely known, that assessments of the level of a student’s performance greatly influence the teacher’s planning and strategies. The QCA (Curriculum Assessment Authority) states that planning should begin with the pupil’s needs, interests, aptitudes and achievements and that all pupils should have access to programmes of study that enable them to progress and to show achievement (QCA, 2001). Out of that reason children with learning disabilities need an assessment, which is based on all involved circumstances. In this assignment I want to show the main reasons, why children with Down syndrome have very special needs and how these needs influence the learning process Having clarified this I want to show the identification of needs using an assessment portfolio and how this is used to meet individual needs of a child. I also want to evaluate the way in which the team worked to put the information for the portfolio together.
Evaluate own role and responsibilities in lifelong learning , follow the Teacher Training Method of Teaching ,Identify the needs by plan training, and deliver training. Followed by Assessment’s and feedback on Overall Evaluations. 4. Review own role and responsibilities in identifying and meeting the needs of learners. Initial assessment is to acknowledge the strength or weakness of each student and thoroughly learning about what is the best approach of learning about the students and the better approach or method of teaching the students, so they are able to understand. Target settings will also apply as a motivation for the students so they are able to understand the actual target’s that are required to be followed.
The humanism conceptual framework is evident in the principles of the New Zealand Curriculum Framework (NZCF), whereby the teacher has the flexibility to develop classroom programme in accordance of the learning needs and styles of the students, and the acknowledgement that individual students will develop their essential skills to different degrees and at individual rates (MOE, 1993, pgs. 7, 17). Doyle (1990) sees this teaching approach as one which the teacher is knowledgeable about the ways that people learn and grow and involves working on developing a personal teaching style by examining individual attitudes and
The strands are: • To learn about themselves - Self Concept Development • To learn about their feelings - Emotional Development • To learn about other people - Social Development • To learn to communicate - Language Development • To learn to move and do - Physical Development • To learn to think - Cognitive Development The quality of early experiences is shaped by the individuals with whom infants and toddlers spend their time and by the environments where they spend their time. As early childhood professionals, we know what children need in order to be successful in both school and in life. This document designed for program trainers, directors and parent educators to use as they work with caregivers and parents to insure quality care for infants and toddlers. Infants and toddlers are cared for in a variety of settings. These settings include the child’s own home, child care centers and family child care.
It is through these theories that we will gain more insight into the issues associated with school system-wide leadership (Knapp, et al, 2008, p. 35). This study will use these learning theories to illuminate the reasoning for educational reform, and inform the research obtained from the focus groups and interviews. These theories are vital to the study, because they are the basis for change and adaptability of people within professional environments. Organizational change refers to the learning of a collective, and how students
Simply put, education is both learning and teaching. When you are born, your parents/guardians raise you. They show you the way to live life. In order to live and survive, you need to learn. Teachers have a great obligation of forming the cycle of adolescent, vulnerable kids.
