Would you select this toy for a child in this age group? Why or Why Not? Yes! Because the book like I mentioned before can teach the child various different things and help them build skills they might have already mastered. Toy 2: Building Blocks Description: These are building blocks which can teach children many things such as fine motor and gross motor skills.
This understanding should be used to connect the hypothesis and theory with my own practice as a teaching assistant within the school. Furthermore, children’s behaviour, development and current skills should be observed to identify and assess their progression in order to plan tasks that are suitable towards individual needs.

* Identify the requirements of the assessment strategy of the qualification to ensure the learner can meet the specification. B - Formative assessment in tracking learner progress Formative assessment is the assessment that takes place during a course or programme of study, as an integral part of learning process, and such it is down to the teacher or trainer to design and implement it. It refers to frequent, interactive assessment of student progress and understanding to identify learning needs and adjust teaching appropriately. By using formative assessment approaches and techniques you are better prepared to meet the diverse students’ needs – through differentiation and adaptation of teaching to raise levels of student achievement and to achieve a greater equity of
By understanding the dynamic of these relationships, a teacher understands the development and learning of students and seeks opportunities to positively support not only their intellectual development, but also social and personal as well. Children are children. For the most part, their developmental patterns can be predicted. Understanding the different stages of development can give teachers insight to not only academic performance, but also behaviors. This paper will focus on the learning theory of adolescents, primarily middle school students.
2.5 Encourage and support children’s learning in developmentally appropriate ways. 2.6 Engage in sustained shared thinking with children. 3. Safeguard and promote the welfare of children. 3.1 Know the legal requirements and guidance on health and safety, safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and the implications for early year’s settings.
Developmental appropriate practice is a term that had been used in the educational field for many years. The basic concept is to work with the family’s to teach children in a way that builds on what the children already know at the time they are ready to learn it. Having learning experiences for children that are challenging but not overwhelming for them is key. In this paper I will be focusing on the five major guidelines for developmentally appropriate practice in the early childhood education field and how they meet NAEYC’s (National Associations for the Education of Young Children) excellence and equity. I will also be giving two examples of how developmental appropriate practice is used in a preschool classroom.
For instance, Johnson suggests strategies such as providing additional instructional help including specialists, therapists, and aides, (b) establishing flexible classroom that are open and can provide direct instruction in small, self-contained areas, (c) assigning specific teachers with teaching styles that match the learning styles of children with special needs. More important, Sattler asserts that before a teacher evaluates a child with special needs he or she should the child for other potential health problems such as vision, hearing, and other physical conditions (261). In addition, the teacher should examine the student’s school record to determine behaviors of socialization and cooperation. Particularly for preschool children, Sattler recommends the use of materials that is important in communication strategies with younger children, and special needs children including gestures and positive reinforcement. More important, the best way to make a child welcome is to establish a good rapport with the child, so that the child feels comfortable and ready to interact with the teacher and the rest of the
The CBI is composed of several interventions or strategies that were created to help children with EBD manage their behavior in a variety of social settings. According to the textbook, Evidence-Based Practices for Education Students with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders (2nd ed), Yell describes how the students become engaged in “self-management, self-monitoring, self-evaluations, and self-reinforcement”. (Yell, Meadows, Drasgow, & Shriner, 2013) Self-management based interventions relates to students being expected to learn how to become a good observant, how to record, and how to reinforce their behavior. Self-management deals with three main procedures: self-monitoring, self-evaluations, and self-reinforcement. They all take care of one aspect of the student, which is being able to control their behavior on their own.
