For this outcome I chose the CE 240 Unit 6 assigment. With this artifact a demonstrate my knowledge of appropriate observational and assessment techniques and planning for children and their families. I chose this artifact because it shows how I will prepare and plan for children with a specific disability. In this assignment I demonstrate my ability to arrange the learning environment to encourage children with specific needs to reach their learning goals. Observation is one of the most vital skill for early childhood educator. The primary purpose of observational assessment is for refining teaching and improving ther learning, according to Allen & Cowdery, 2011. In that’s exacly what you can see in this assignment of mine, I use the information
Artifact Description This artifact was created for and with a student to aid her in making connections between education and careers. I was to create a student portfolio to help a student with college admission, career interests, and scholarship applications. During this process, the student and I worked with her teachers, her mother, and Oklahoma State University. We all collaborated to provide the student with information she will need to develop an academic and career plan (AR.1.5, AR.

Q. The Lamb Inquiry 2009 describes parents as experiencing an “unthinking. Uncaring system that doesn’t listen to them or take their concerns seriously” (paragraph 4.46 on p. 61) Discuss if this statement is still an accurate reflection of the issues facing parents today. The House of Common Education and Skills Committee in the year 2007 published “Special Educational Needs: Assessment and Funding”. It was mainly published to build parents’ confidence in the special educational needs (SEN) in order to provide facilities to children with SEN. Government in order to promote this set up a group of advisers who can help in increase parents’ confidence in this SEN assessment program.
In addition, they target a skill from multiple domains at a time to achieve a more holistic learning experience (Dawson & Rogers, 2010). The ESDM implements teaching procedures from applied behavioral analysis, pivotal response training, and the Denver Model (Dawson & Rogers, 2010). In order to provoke social and communicative behaviors, the ESDM uses strategies to elicit positive experiences between the teacher and child (Dawson & Rogers, 2010). In addition, the ESDM attempts to foster the child's motivation by providing rewarding stimuli (Dawson & Rogers, 2010). The ESDM follows an intensive teaching approach in order to fill the learning gaps caused by the decreased number of learning opportunities in children with developmental delays (Dawson & Rogers, 2010).
EYFS we do regular observations on our key children so that we can track their development is going at the pace that it should be for their age group. We do our Next steps around their interests and areas that they have not covered yet, we aim to make the activities fun and inclusive, as the children learn better when we are basing it around their interests. CU1531 2.1 Explain the importance of reflective practice in continuously improving the quality of service provided This is a very important part of the Preschool, as being reflective allows us to continually improve the service to children and parents that we work
Evidence-based evaluation plan Because there are several challenges to consider when assessing children (rapid developmental rate, environmental and cultural factors, limited expressive language, and possible hidden disabilities), the Client’s evaluation plan should be individualized and based on ongoing assessment methods. Formal and informal assessments would be needed to monitor progress as well as to objectively determine which interventions would be the most effective in addressing the Client’s needs. The informal assessments would consist of medical and parent’s reports, completion of tasks assigned and the accomplishment of intervention goals. Another informal method of evaluation would be personal observations as to identify environmental
Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) is an approach to learning that promotes children development knowing what is individually appropriate in each child’s interests, abilities, and developmental progress. I have a strong foundation in all developmental domains including physical development that has a strong foundation for the development of a child’s gross and fine motors by throwing or catching a ball, balance, movement, and cutting. Social development creates an environment for the child to interact, cooperate and resolve conflict. Cognitive/Language development is learning to think, problem solving, memory and classification. A child know the different between the truth and a lie and facts and fiction.
During this developmental interview, I chose to conduct an observation/interview study with my one of my cousin’s child. This child is a 4 year old girl and will be identified as “child K” in relation to her first name. Her parents had no problem letting me interview her, but I had them stay in the same room as us. The purpose of this interview was to observe the child’s physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development. I observed her behavior and gave her several tests to show how well she has progressed.
Introduction: I have always had a passion for working with individuals with special needs, which is why I am drawn to the field of special education, specifically as a child developmental specialist. From a young age, I found joy in the connections I made while serving as a peer tutor in a special needs class. It has been a rewarding experience to spend time with individuals with special needs and learn about the importance of providing them with the necessary support to thrive. As a child development specialist, my main objective would be to identify developmental and psychological abnormalities in children and ensure they receive the care they need to reach their full potential. To excel as a child developmental specialist, a strong desire for knowledge and effective communication through research and writing are crucial.
Observational learning is used by and influences everyone, even when people do not mean to do so. This learning type being the way it is with how it affects people can be utilized and Eureka High School does this in a few different ways. Some of these ways include: Teachers showing a level of respect to students and student giving it in return, the choosing of leaders in school or clubs where others can model their behavior after them, showing the steps to do a problem or writing so a student can understand how and replicate it, and showing a student's paper or work in front of the class to enforce them and other students. As for Eureka High School using observational learning to their advantage the school could: make sure teachers do not have
Introduction: I live in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan and I have many places where I could do an observation, places like schools, daycares, restaurants, coffee shops, mall etc. I choose to do my observation at a local licensed daycare on Friday, February 9th. The reason why I chose a daycare instead of something more public like the mall was because the profession I’m working towards works with small children so it would be more beneficial for me to learn from a daycare.

Observation is the tool that practitioners use to obtain the necessary information that helps them to plan effectively for each child. Observations are considered to be an important part while working with the children. There are number of reasons why recorded observations are required. To plan for individual children’s needs-
STANDARD 4: ASSESSMENT OF THE CHILD PROGRESS Artifact; Compering Early Childhood Assessment from Child Development 201 I chose this artifact because it is about the appropriate Early Childhood assessments while these have a variety of programs to choice depending on the needs of the child to help him to the next level I learned that there are many resources for the teacher to help children out so they can have a happy childhood; These all examples bellow guidance a center to set up the whole program of early childhood environment so it will be helpful for the provider education to have cozy a safety place for young children.
Every student with disabilities is also obligated to an IEP specifically for the student’s needs between the ages of 3 and 21 under IDEA. The IEP is created by a team of six or seven, depending on the age of the student. The six members are the parents, an individual that can explain the assessment results, keep in mind, the faculty of the school must not under any circumstances conduct the evaluations without parental consent. Also included is the general education teacher, a local representative from the local education department, the special education teacher and of course the student, who must be included in the meeting if the student is fourteen or older. In this IEP meeting the team members go over what has been planned for the IEP
There are many information-gathering methods out there, however, two of these methods stuck out that I had to do more research on. Naturalistic observation and Case study has shown the most interesting and achievable methods that I would personally do in the classroom. The first method is naturalistic observation. According to Infants, Children, and Adolescents by Berk and Meyers stated, naturalistic observation is, “one approach is to go into the field, or natural environment, and observe the behavior of interest.”
