Study Notes

PK-3 Developmental 2015

  • Illness and poor health can affect a child's development, including asthma, sickle cell disease, tooth decay, cleft palate, and autism spectrum disorder.
  • Negative environmental factors like drugs, viruses, malnutrition, and extreme stress impact children's development most during critical periods and during their school years, following growth spurts.

Characteristics of a 5-year-old

  • Rejects events out of sequence, showing interest in gender differences, and lacers shoes with assistance.
  • Shows interest in representing objects with clay materials and expresses frustration when not understood.
  • These behaviors are typical for the child’s age and do not indicate a developmental delay or attention deficit disorder, though they are consistent with behaviors related to autism spectrum disorder.

Pre-kindergarten student's developmental needs

  • A pre-kindergarten student needing increased kinesthetic perception activity to move from place to place without running into others or stumbling.

Second Grader's Behavioral Issues

  • A second grader with behavioral issues, such as aggression, poor grades, and lack of social cooperation may have been impacted by factors like parental divorce or separation, poverty level, or physically abusive family.

Language Development Factors

  • Proper nutrition, socioeconomic status, physical development, and home environment significantly affect language development.

Parent Education Program

  • A needs assessment of parents is the best way to begin developing a parent education program.
  • Announcements should come from trusted local service agencies.
  • Sending announcements home with children would be the least effective method.

Family Information and Resources

  • A teacher should offer a list of community resources in the school and mail local agency brochures to the families.

Student Motivation

  • A teacher dealing with a student who says "I'm stupid" should consider cognitive strategies emphasizing that the student can overcome this challenge.
  • Encouraging the student by saying "I like the way Joan is doing her work" is a good approach.
  • Saying "I believe in you" when a student states they are unable to do assigned work is also an ideal way to help motivate.

Student Instructional Strategies

  • Language experience activity, schema-oriented instruction, guided reading, and shared reading are models for providing small group instruction to students at the instructional level.
  • The methods effectively engage 2nd and 3rd grade students with literary works.

Student Instruction in Graphing

  • Activities such as drawing graphs showing the habitats of different animals would be good for students.
  • Writing a report on a single type of animal's habitat would be an acceptable extension for rapid learners.

Other Developmental Factors

  • Understanding legal requirements for working with parents or guardians of children with disabilities is essential.
  • Understanding how each age group learns and appropriately educating each child based on their level is vital to development.
  • Addressing the variety of learning differences and needs in classrooms is important.
  • Being culturally sensitive and considerate during family conferences.
  • Using a variety and proper tools for assessment is important.
