Create a plan for recording a child’s social development and to evaluate your plan.
Scenario: You are a teacher in a class of three-year-olds. You have a new student in your class named Chelsea. Before Chelsea’s first day, her mother told you that Chelsea had difficulties at previous centers. At the end of the first day, you can understand why she has had some challenges. Chelsea knocked all the books off the shelves during playtime and toppled over another child’s block structure. You are determined to understand more about Chelsea’s behavior, so you sit down to think about how you will gather data on her behavior.
Focus Assignment:
- Create a plan for how you will gather data on Chelsea to identify where you can best support her social development. Your plan should include at least one method focused on recording her destruction of items around the room.
- Read the SELF-EVALUATION section below to guide your thinking. Write your self- evaluation after you have completed your plan.
- Review the assessment rubric to see how your assignment and self-evaluation will be graded.
