Child Development

this assignment is due in 9 hours…… must have done in 9 hours….. no late work…..   Child Development……  

Fill out the attachment….. based on California USA …..

Fill out the attachment DRDP 

You can make up a child name and date of birth must be 11/08/2016 on form 

Watch video which has more information on how to fill out DRDP 

2.  Print and complete one measure from each domain.  From your observations, work samples, interactions with the child, how would you assess them?  

(7 measures x 3 points = 21 points)  The following measures are off the Preschool Instrument.  If you choose infant/toddler or school-age the numbers of the measures may be different, but you still need to choose a variety of measures from across the domains to have 7 total.

Domain #1:   Approaches to Learning:  Self-Regulation  (7 Measures)

Domain #2:  Social and Emotional Development (5 Measures)

Domain #3: Language and Literacy Development (10 Measures)

You can skip Domain #4:  English Language Development as it may not apply to the child you are observing.

Domain #5: Cognition, including Math and Science (11 Measures)

Domain #6: Physical Development:  Health (10 Measures)

Domain #7: History – Social Science  (5 Measures)

Domain #8:  Visual and Performing Arts (4 Measures)

Domain #4:  English Language Development is for children whose home language is something other than English. Therefore, you do not have to do this domain (unless you choose a child who is a non-English speaker – then you can do it for your own information!) 

You must record evidence for each measure (an anecdotal record.)  The DRDP is so nice because it gives you so many examples of what to look for as evidence.  It can be a brief comment that the child made, a conversation you had with the child, etc. 

Write a one paragraph conclusion (typed, double-spaced = 5 points): 

What did you discover about this child (what are the child’s strengths and weaknesses)?

What action steps will you take to assist the child in their developmental progression (including adding materials to your classroom; scheduling, space, supervision)

What is one way that the DRDP will be useful for you in providing a quality program for the children in your care?

What is one challenge you see in using the DRDP? What is one question you still have about using the DRDP?

Look at “sample” attachment for example

Define relevant terms specific to academic and legal concepts for students with mild to moderate disabilities

This discussion is your opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the objective: Define relevant terms specific to academic and legal concepts for students with mild to moderate disabilities.  The discussion represents your understanding of the Course Learning Outcome 1 and the MASE Program Learning Outcomes 1 and 6.  In addition to reviewing the Required and Recommended Resources and Instructor Guidance for Week One, prepare for this discussion by considering the following scenario:

Imagine that you are walking into your very first classroom as a new special education teacher.  You will be working closely with Mr. Franklin, the general educator who has been in the education field for over ten years.  In your “co-teaching” environment, Mr. Franklin and you will be delivering instruction to the entire class, which is comprised of 28 students in the classroom with seven students identified as having specialized academic and/or behavioral needs.  This type of classroom is considered an inclusive setting, where students of the same age are educated together with multiple types of differentiation of the instruction occurring based on the students’ individualized needs.  In an inclusive environment such as this, there will be some students who are formally identified as having specialized academic and/or behavioral challenges.

Some of these students may be falling behind in their academics.  Others may not appear engaged in the classwork or homework activities.  Yet others may appear to have a bad attitude.  As co-teachers, you will both be responsible to collaboratively create and deliver instruction to meet the students’ needs.

Before the school year officially begins, you meet with Mr. Franklin to discuss the each of your roles within the co-teaching environment.  It was discussed that Mr. Franklin will be expert of the instructional content and your role as the specialist will be to help students access the information at their own levels. 

During this meeting, Mr. Franklin admits that he has never been partnered with someone who understands students with special needs.  He states he has not co-taught before and doesn’t understand what is expected specific to the students with specialized learning needs.  He asks you to explain some of the terms and acronyms he’s heard before because he’s not sure what they mean, including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the Individualized Education Program (IEP).

As the special educator, part of your job is to explain each of these terms in a way that Mr. Franklin will understand along with providing authentic examples to support the definition you have provided.

Initial Post: Create an initial response that defines at least five terms specific to academic and legal concepts that apply when working with students with mild to moderate disabilities.  With each definition provide an example that includes support from the readings and the Instructor Guidance from Week One.  State specifically how the terms may impact the practice of your co-teaching work with Mr. Franklin. See attached for the full work
