Question: Prior to completing the journal, reviewing chapters 3 and 4 of your text. Early childhood educators must ensure that the curriculum decisions they are making meet the needs of the diverse learners they work with, as well as helps children grow across all developmental domains. "People are often surprised at how much planning it takes to ensure a productive, smoothly running early childhood classroom" (Kostelnik, Soderman,
Whiren, C Rupiper, 2015). It takes so much planning because we make intentional decisions about what, how, when, and why we are implementing the curriculum. Figure 3.1 from your primary text illustrates the process teachers go through as they are preparing to plan lessons and units (Kostelnik, Soderman, Whiren, C Rupiper, 2015). Understanding this process is critical to being able to plan effective lessons whether you are working with one, five, or twenty children at a time. Need solution, Order Now!

Describe the process early childhood educators go through as they prepare to teach, including how learning differences influence and impact the planning process.
Discuss where within the planning process early childhood educators address the needs of diverse learners and ensure their planning is culturally responsive. Make sure to include information about adapting curriculum to meet the needs of each and every child.
Discuss the importance of differentiating lesson plans to meet the needs of small- group or whole class instruction. Use some of the strategies shared in the text for teaching in small-group and whole-class instruction to support your perspective.
