Homework: Observing and Planning for Social Development- Observation, Assessment & Individualization
Overview:
For this child observation homework, you will write a 2 pages paper describing and evaluating a plan for recording a child's social development. You will base the paper on the scenario below, focusing on the child's behavior.
Instructions:
Begin by reading this scenario:
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 had difficulties at previous centers. At the end of the first day, you can understand why she's 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 think about how you will gather data on her behavior. (2022 Cengage Learning)
