Allowing children to be able to think independently and create their own behavior can be an effective way to allow for more autonomy, improving their motivation in many areas and get the confidence to achieve better grades in school. Pink explains that “A sense of autonomy has a powerful effect on individual performance and attitude” (88). Many parents will choose to raise and will motivate their children by how they were brought up as a child. While this may seem like a great way to raise a child, it could control motivation and behavior with the experience of pressure and demand. Parents might want to consider teaching their children about autonomous motivation which promotes greater conceptual understanding, better grades, enhanced persistence at school and in sporting activities, higher productivity, less burnout, and greater levels of psychological well-being.
Effective preschool classrooms are places where children feel well cared for and safe. They are places where children are valued as individuals and where their needs for attention, approval, and affection are supported. They are also places where children can be helped to acquire a strong foundation in the knowledge and skills needed for school success. Research shows beyond question that it is through having many opportunities to talk as well as to listen to teachers and peers that children gain language skills so valuable for their success in reading and writing. The more children know about their world, the easier it is for them to read and learn when they get to school.
Children Benefit from Inclusion Classrooms Harmony L. Sturdevant ENG/102 May 19, 2013 Melissa Gardner Would someone be pleased if they had a special needs child that was excluded from experiencing a regular classroom setting because of their disability? Would they want their child to be treated fairly and not be considered an outcast when they are placed on an Individual Education Plan (IEP)? If the answer is no to both questions, then people should consider and appreciate the rights of children with disabilities and how effective an inclusion classroom environment is to children. Children on Individual Education Plans benefit from being in an inclusion classroom because they are helping peers and teachers to understand diversity and are given an opportunity to be treated equally without disrupting a regular classroom setting. Inclusion classrooms were developed to help a child with special needs become a part of a regular classroom that is the least restrictive as possible.
Comparison of English Language Standards for Kindergarten John Basta Liberty University Introduction Every day teachers enter their classrooms and are expected to teach their students particular material in accordance with a Standard of Learning. There is a National Standard and a State Standard for Learning. Most states have adopted the National Standard known as The Common Core State Standard (CCSS) for English Language Arts, but Virginia has opted out. The State of Virginia chose not to adopt the voluntary Common Core State Standards because The Board of Education believes revising rather than abandoning the nationally recognized SOL program ensures that students will be on equal footing or in fact better standing than with students in states that have adopted the CCSS. A Third entity, The Core Knowledge Foundation has developed a Sequence for Language Arts.
Language development in Early Childhood Students Rosetta Billingslea ECE 315 Language Development in Young Children Mrs. Debra Gray June 13, 2011 This essay is based on the information ascertained in Chapters 1-8 of our textbook Language Development in Early Childhood. In this essay I will use information and terminology gained from those chapters in order to demonstrate to you the reader my knowledge and understanding of the concepts of Language Development and Literacy of Young Children shared in those chapters presented above. Throughout my textbook I learned that one of the most important things about Language Development is that it starts with the teacher. Although oral language development is a primary goal in early childhood programs, learning experiences and teaching strategies do not always support this goal. So I feel teachers need to know and be aware of the one-to-one, extended, cognitively challenging conversations and how to engage in such communication, even with students that are reluctant talkers.
If an instructor or program allowed for students to learn based on the home’s cultural views, the child would more than likely understand the material better and also do better in school. I enjoyed the idea of having parents involved in the literacy process. I think this would be such a huge contribution to a child’s learning experience. In our area of Gallup, New Mexico, we are exposed to many children, whose primary language is not English. This is because English is not the primary language in the home.
A teen should not have to face depression at such a young age. Then again, by becoming more independent learners through homework, the average students will demonstration an improvement in their grades. Students that habitually do their homework can expect to have greater test scores and also higher class grades. This is because students are taking time to develop their understanding of skills and concepts through practice and self-understanding. As you can see, there are pros and cons about homework.
Secondly, children increase social and cognitive development from positive influences that are communicated by teachers. Emphasis around Vygotsky’s theory will explain the basis of social interaction facilitating learning with the benefit of good communication (Eggen & Kauchak, 2010). Thirdly, teachers must develop high level of written and verbal communication skills. This will develop good relationships between the teacher, student and family leading to proper educational practices that will improve student’s overall outcomes will enhance their literacy skill. Finally, educators with effective communication skills prove an ability to adapt teaching methods to suit the needs of students they are supporting (Kearns, 2012), and with appropriate delivery of good communication, student learning increases.
The social environment is defined as positive interpersonal relationship. By facilities involving in the students learning process and better the environment it will maintain a positive, respectful school climate. As well, as having a positive physical environment which will allow students to realize that their education and surroundings are cared for. By strengthening the school climate including physical and social environments it will improve student’s interest. Social environment permits students to succeed and limits or eliminates certain behaviors.
