Is a policy of including all pupils, irrespective of any disability, in one and the same school the right one? What are the advantages and disadvantages of any such policy?

Early Developmental Issues in Child Development   The prenatal period of human development is a time of rapid growth and change. The development that occurs during pregnancy and at birth can significantly influence individuals throughout their lifetime. Similarly, development during infancy is fast-paced and affected by both genetic and environmental factors. Development moves from a perceptual to a cognitive emphasis as babies impose meaning on what they perceive. Deprivation during this period has profound physical and psychosocial effects on children. Imagine that you are a developmental expert meeting with a group of first-time mothers at three different points in their experience. For each meeting, provide a link to a resource that provides further information for expectant and new mothers on the topic addressed in the meeting. In 150-250 words each, answer the following prompts. Meeting 1 During the first meeting, the mothers are in their first or second trimester. You have been asked to speak about the effects of the environment on prenatal development. What information would you present to these newly pregnant women? How would you help them to ensure the healthiest pregnancy? Meeting 2 During the second meeting, the same group of mothers are in their third trimester, and preparing for delivery. You have been asked to present information regarding labor and delivery options, including home births, birthing centers, and hospital births. Address the advantages and disadvantages of each option. Discuss the role of families in the birth process, and the pros and cons of using medication during labor and delivery. Meeting 3 In the third meeting, the same mothers have given birth. Summarize typical physical and cognitive milestones of children at 1, 2, and 3 years of age. Include simple strategies the mothers can implement to promote the growth and well-being of their young child. Use 3-5 scholarly resources to support your research. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. More Information about the assignment: The assignment is to write three mini-essays. You are going to imagine you are an expert in child development and you are going to present three different informative topics. For this assignment, APA Style formatting is a requirement.  One other reminder regarding this assignment is to make sure you address all the components of the assignment including the websites for additional information for each section. Please make sure you are extending the conversation perhaps offering a personal observation or experience, or referencing real-world examples, current events, or presenting further research you have conducted on the topic. Here are a few more suggestions: ·         Interaction in classroom discussion that demonstrates deeper or broader thoughts about a topic, rather than just rephrasing what the textbook has presented on the topic. ·         Posts that encourage further discussion and ongoing dialogue with other students and the instructor in the class. ·         Asking additional, relevant questions about the week’s topic that help us continue the discussion.

Introduction and instructions:  ·      Ensure that your answers are typed and double-spaced with page numbers. You can use a variety of formats for your answers (e.g., formal essay format, full paragraphs, and/or point form). The typeface should not be smaller than 10 point or larger than 12 point. Correct spelling, grammar, sentence structure, and punctuation are expected.     Questions: 1.    You are working with an elementary school in Edmonton to develop a  three-hour workshop for students, which aims to enhance students’ appreciation of nature.    The principal suggested the following participant objectives for the workshop: ·       Students will understand what nature is and learn to pay attention to it.  ·       Students will appreciate the benefits that come with opportunities to interact with nature.  ·       Develop a plan for interacting with and enjoying nature.     a)     Critique and re-write (if necessary) the objectives identified by the school principal (10 marks). b)     Describe two activities you will use in the workshop to facilitate participants’ achievement of at least two of the objectives (6 mark).  c)     What is your rationale for using these activities (4 marks)? d)     Identify two strengths and two limitations of each activity (4 marks).  e)     Describe three strategies/tips that will increase the likelihood that the activities will be successful (6 marks).    2.  Read one of the two articles posted (Assignment reading 1 and 2), and discuss the program that is  described in the article as it relates to course content. Specifically:  a)     Identify and briefly describe two characteristics/dimensions of the program described in the article you read, which you will focus on in your answer (i.e., the two characteristics/dimensions of the program should relate to course content) (8 marks).  b)     Identify and describe two key concepts, theories, and topics etc. from course content, which relate to the characteristics/dimensions of the program you discussed in part a) (8 marks).  c)     Describe how the course concepts, theories, topics etc. discussed in part b) relate to the characteristics/dimensions of the program discussed in part a). That is, in what ways are they similar/different? And/or, in what ways do the course concepts, theories, topics etc. discussed in part b) align with the characteristics/dimensions of the program discussed in part a)? (6 marks).     3.   Identify and describe three factors that can influence small group  communication (12 marks). Discuss how program leaders can use knowledge about these factors when they are facilitating programs (6 marks).    4.   Consider the following scenario that occurs within a program session that involves 10 participants:   Morgan: “I think that my idea has considerable merit and meets our needs.” Jordan: “That’s ridiculous, it will never work.” Morgan: “Get off my case! I don’t see you proposing any better solutions”.   Name and briefly describe two strategies that could be used to honour both Morgan and Jordan’s points of view and to resolve this impasse (6 marks). Explain why these two strategies are likely to be effective in this situation (6 marks).
