Assignment 2
Exceptionalities Complete Case Study: Why are they so reckless
Circle time is the most challenging time of the preschool day for Lisa, a recent college graduate who is new to early childhood education. She struggles with keeping the children engaged and sitting cross-legged for the thirty-minute daily circle. Some of the preschoolers roll around on the
floor, while others can’t keep their hands to themselves. Based upon what you know about typical child development, what suggestions would you give Lisa regarding circle time?
-
I would suggest Lisa lower the time for the student’s circle time. I would start off with 15
minutes instead of 30 minutes. However, if thirty minutes is what Lisa prefers I would suggest that she offers the children different options when it comes to seating for circle time because being cross-legged for thirty minutes is uncomfortable for young children. Try offering little bean bag seats or even some chairs. Allow the children to stretch probably 15 minutes into the 30-minute circle time or even every ten minutes. Lisa should build activities around her student’s interest. Incorporate movement, songs, and breaks. Stick to the routine and stay consistent. Complete student activities 1 and 2
1.
Provide three justifications of the following statement: To work effectively with children who have developmental disabilities, teachers need a thorough knowledge of typical growth and development.
-
Looking at how children grow and what they need at different stages of development will allow teachers to see a bigger picture of education. As children go through their different
stages in life, they approach learning in different ways. When teachers have a thorough understanding of growth and development it provides them the knowledge, they need to make assessments about the behaviors of children in the classroom. 2.
Think about a time a friend or classmate referred to someone as “retarded.” Given what you know about person-first language and sensitivity to others, how would you handle the situation if you heard such a statement?
-
As a teacher, I would address the situation and let the classmate know that it's not OK to label someone as retarded. I would teach them about using people first language
