Families, along with their children, are the program” (Menza-Gonzalez, 2009). Educators who understand child development in perspective to family and community rely on competency to organize an early childhood program which incorporates effective developmentally approved practices which incorporate family and community into the “whole child” approach. “School readiness is, of course, a concern for everybody, but professionals with a child development back-ground often come at it from a different angle than some other professionals and families by recognizing that social-emotional development is vitally tied to cognitive development” (Menza-Gonzalez, 2009). Socially, a child learns to relate to family, peers, teachers and other members of the community through a range of human emotions, interactions, and transitions over the years of development. Emotionally, children
Not every parent has the financial Stability to send their kids to schools with great education programs, as shown in waiting for Superman. So why should the innocent children be the ones being punished for something they Have no control over? By having more well educated people in the world it will make the environment a better place. The future needs to be thought about while changes and problems are being addressed. The school board and the people within the school systems need to have more caring feelings about those students who are being left behind.
If a child is home schooled or attends public school, there are challenges as well as opportunities for students to succeed. One big difference between home and public school education is the social environment. Home schooling may cause a child to be introverted, quiet, and reserved due to a limited number of classmates and having their parents as their teacher. In contrast, a student that is attending public school might be very outgoing, interactive, and social with others. Public school students have diverse classmates and they have many other teachers.
Because of this, the family is very important as a socialising agency, as it teaches children what is right and what is wrong within our society, as well as norms and values, through using things such as sanctions to guide and control this learning process. The family links to the second socialising agency I will be looking at -- education, in the way that education is seen as taking over from the family as the main socialising agency by the functionalists (Talcott Parsons). Education is a form of secondary socialisation, important in how pupils are taught the culture of their society through mostly humanities subjects such as history and religious studies. Pupils also are also socialised how to act in certain situations, preparing them for the workplace. So, what do the
Short answers to Mastery Charter’s Application questions. 1. A student that does not require adapted lessons should be held to the same standards as all other students being measured by the same criteria. Having said that, I think there is a problem when students are expected to compete with their peers but have not been prepared. I know we can be overwhelmed by numbers but there should be away to reach students on the levels they are and teach them to the levels were we want them to be.
The No Child Left behind Act of 2001 is the proverbial ball and chain on today’s public schools. Its creation had a noble concept which was to ensure the education of all children in the United States regardless of race, class, or economic status; but because of the strict requirements and rigid guidelines, the NCLB act restricts educators in many ways and encourages, even rewards, teachers to teach their students to score well on tests instead of teaching to learn. As parents and educators know from firsthand experience, uniformity of any kind when it comes to children is not possible, but the NCLB expects all schools by the year 2014 to have a 100% of their students pass their state assessments in math and reading, a daunting task with
We have age limits and restriction on many things, but why does are education system expect these young kids to make the right choices, ask for help and develop good study habits on their own. Our education system needs a new approach to resolve these issues. Teachers and parents need to be held responsible, for how well these kids do in school. We need come up with a new plan so these students aren’t left lost and helpless. Flunking students can be used as a positive tool by our education system.
Jordan Jarvis June 22, 2011 Dr. Robert Cohen Psychology 3103 The Cultural Nature of Human Development Barbara Rogoff attempts to create an understanding of how culture plays a significant role in human development. To grow and develop in any nation in the world, children are taught about the immediate world around them, such as language, heritage, traditional customs, and proper ways to behave and react to adults and situations according to their family structures. One cannot grow up without being a part of a certain culture. To fully understand the role of culture in human development, the definition of culture and its importance to a nation are vital. Rogoff’s definition of culture is not a simple one.
There are many different forms of schooling in America we have private schooling, home schooling, rural schools, urban schools, or no schooling at all. Since these schools do not all teach the exact same form information it is hard to know if children are receiving the same education. In the work force this will create statistical discrimination for the employee because employers will look at where the applicant graduated high school. It seems that the school district a child attends reflects on their pay later in life. Factors that can change the quality of schooling are the location of the school, violence in the area, and the abilities the child has.
The evaluation phase is a key component of any program, and that is to determine what the student knows and is learning in the classroom. The testing material should be valid and reliable so that it can be adopted on a regular basis. What are some of the Human Development theories? Erikson’s theory, focused on the stages of an individual from birth to adulthood. This theory stated the process of stages that children go through as he or she grows up.
