development progress of a young child

Assessment Description

The development progress of a young child is important for a teacher to understand. The rate at which a child meets milestones is indicative of their health and future success in foundational learning. If the child is not meeting milestones, the teacher must be aware, and communicate concerns to parents. Identifying a child’s developmental growth is also important for the teacher so that they can provide developmentally appropriate instruction.

For this assignment, create a 15-20 slide digital presentation for early childhood educators, parents, and guardians on the topics of developmental milestones within each developmental domain (physical, cognitive, social-emotional, language) and developmentally appropriate assessment and instruction.

Include the following in your presentation:

1. Description of the typical developmental milestones from birth to age 3 in each of the following developmental domains: physical, cognitive, social-emotional, and language, and their influences on early development and learning.
2. One example of instructional activities for children from birth to age 3 in each of the developmental domains mentioned above that meets each child’s developmental learning needs in that domain.
3. At least 2-3 examples of delayed and advanced development and the developmental domain that each example falls under
4. A minimum of two ways that a birth to age 3 teacher can use data to monitor progress in meeting the milestones and measure student learning
5. Ways that a birth to age 3 teacher can partner with other stakeholders (parents, service providers, outside professionals, and colleagues) to assess developmental milestones and provide feedback.
6. A minimum of two ways that a birth to age 3 teacher can partner with other stakeholders to build effective learning environments and experiences to engage students in the learning process
7. Title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.

Note

Support your presentation with at least two scholarly resources.

Communitys Vulnerability

Part of assessing a community’s vulnerability is determining what is at stake for loss in the future. Describe areas of your town or county that are undeveloped; include their current state as well as their potential future condition. Use resources such as the Internet, aerial maps, tax maps, and local land maps. Whenever possible, indicate who owns the property.

350-450 words excluding references, APA format and a minimum of 3 references

 Executive Summary of Talking Points

As a working professional, understanding the field of psychology and how it applies to your work environment, is a necessary component to not only developing healthy relationships but also appreciating other cultures and their impact to society.

For this first Module Assessment, you will examine an international, credible news story or current event related to children and/or adult dilemmas from an expert consultant’s perspective. You will be asked to develop a series of talking points for a panel discussion you have been invited to attend.

To Prepare:

• Consider the following:Imagine you are asked to be on a panel as an expert cultural psychology consultant to discuss an international, credible news story or current event regarding children and/or adults that is being debated. You are asked to develop a series of talking points for your panel discussion.
• Identify an international, credible news story or current event regarding children and/or adults that is being debated (e.g., child labor, immigration, migration, refugees, international scores on standardized tests). Review and analyze the event/news story and apply the lens of culture and psychology.
• Review this Module’s Learning Resources and consider how these resources may inform your Module Assessment. Also, pay special attention to the resource Evaluating Resources: What about Stuff I find on the Internet? Knowing When to Use and Trust what you find on the Internet and consider how you might evaluate the news story/current event to be credible for your Module Assessment.

Assignment (5–6 pages not including title page or reference page):

As a consultant, you are a busy professional, so your summary will include 5–6 pages of your talking points. However, your talking points will need to be presented in paragraph form that follows proper APA format and style. Include the following:

Introduction (1 page)

• A brief introduction of culture and components of culture
  • Define culture and be able to describe some forms/aspects of various sample cultures
  • Explain how your definition of culture applies to your news story or current event

News Story/Current Event (1–2 page)

• Describe the international, credible news story or current event regarding children and/or adults that is being debated (e.g., child labor, immigration, migration, refugees, international scores on standardized tests)

Lifespan Development (1 page)

• Explain the cultural implications on human development based on the event related to children and/or adults

Specific recommendations (2 pages)

• Analyze the news story and explain what you have learned about culture and psychology as it relates to addressing the situation
• Offer 2–4 specific recommendations based on culture and psychology to respond to the issues raised in the news story or event

References

• At least 4 different scholarly resources including peer-reviewed articles and book chapters (Note: Two of your sources may be credible web resources)

Support your Assignment by citing all resources in APA style, including those in the Learning Resources

Ethic roots

I would like for you to look at your past and your family members and think about which half of your family is closest to their ethnic roots (MY MOTHER’S SIDE). Once decided you can start down the road of discovery.

Research the reasoning and ideas that are part of that ethnic or racial or religious group that you identify with (MEXICAN-AMERICAN AND CATHOLIC 22 YEAR OLD WOMAN) to give the reader of your work an idea why, where or when some of these customs began and possible rationales for them (FROM MY MEXICAN CATHOLIC FAMILY). This work should portray your experiences along with the group that you identify with, and the comfort level and possible deviation to that grand scheme you or your family has experienced, when dealing with death or dying.

• be typed according to APA style for margins, formatting and spacing standards
• have at least three sources of which at least two are from peer reviewed journals
