There are risk factors in utero, as an infant, and as a growing toddler. Along with these risk factors, there are countless influences that shape a child’s growth. In this Assignment, you have a chance to consider how all of these factors and influences come together to make a child whole.To PrepareFor this Assignment, you create a child to use as a case study for applying what you have learned. Think about the background, personality, and interests of the child.To CompletePresent a childBegin by developing the imaginary child’s family and issues encountered while in utero.Create an imaginary child who has challenges with learning (exceptionalities). This could be a physical or mental challenge, a developmental delay, or an environmental challenge (e.g., migrant, homeless, low socioeconomic status, etc.).If the imaginary child is an ESL learner or an ELL, be sure to include this characteristic.Tell the imaginary child’s story to give us a clear picture of the child, the child’s family, and their conditions.Discuss where this imaginary child fits per Maslow’s theory regarding belonging and family connectedness.Suggested length for this section should be 1 page.Based on the scenario you created address the following prompts:Select two developmental theories, and describe which stage the imaginary child would fall in terms of cognitive, social, emotional, moral, and language development. Note typical and atypical development and use the course text to support your rationale and explanations.Suggested length for this section should be 1 page.Discuss what motivates your imaginary child:How do their feelings (emotions) and interests drive motivation?What environmental factors might influence your imaginary child’s learning?Suggested length for this section should be 1/2 page.Be sure to create a title page and Reference page for this Assignment.Cite and reference in APA (7th edition) format.Total length for this Assignment is 2–3 pages.Include an illustration on your cover page.

“The social and economic purposes of education have been collapsed into a single, overriding emphasis on policy making for economic competitiveness and an increasing neglect or side- lining (other than in rhetoric) of the social purposes of education” (Ball, 2013: 14). Using a range of literature and theoretical principles from your learning on the module, critically analyse the above statement making reference to the following key themes: ? The nature of education; ? The purposes of education; ? Influences on the nature and purposes of contemporary education. ? Decide on your context. Will you be taking a UK perspective, or will you focus on another nation or context? Alternatively, you may decide to undertake a comparative analysis between two or more nations or contexts. ? Will you be focusing on a particular age group or stage of education (eg early years, high school, higher education). State this. ? How will you define the social and economic purposes of education? Do they differ? Explain this. Please avoid dictionary definitions. Research how scholarly books and articles discuss the social and economic purposes of education, develop a short discussion around this, and conclude this discussion with your choice of definition. ? What do you know about the policy implementations that have taken place in your chosen context? Eg – focus on skills, influences of business and economic policy, methods used by teachers and other education staff. You should look at policy documents and journal articles for the most up-to-date and relevant research and commentaries, but there may be some seminal work in text book. Write a 3,000 word essay Assessment Criteria: % 1. Critical analysis of a range of relevant literature and theoretical principles. 30 2. Range and scope of literature used as a reference point for critical analysis, and its incorporation into the assignment using the Harvard referencing system. 20 3. Demonstrates a conceptual understanding of theoretical principles used to develop an argument. 30 4. Writing skills, synthesis of theory and policy, communication, initiative, presentation, and independent learning. 20 WRITING TIPS: ? Please make sure your own voice is present in the arguments you are presenting – do not simply reproduce what others have said. ? Please make sure there is an evidence base for your arguments. ? This is not a reflective piece of work, so avoid personal anecdotes. You will find it helpful to write passively (it could be argued… the definition of attainment is highly contested…) NOT In my opinion… In my experience… I believe… (please see the academic skills webpages for tips, or look at https://www.rlf.org.uk/resources-home/ Required Reading Curtis, W., Ward, S., Sharp, J., & Hankin, L.

Directions: Be sure to save an electronic copy of your answer before submitting it to Ashworth College for grading. Unless otherwise stated, answer in complete sentences, and be sure to use correct English, spelling, and grammar. Sources must be cited in APA format. Your response should be four (4) double?spaced pages; refer to the “Format Requirements? page for specific format requirements.   The scenarios presented below are similar to those that you will likely encounter as an early childhood educator.  Put yourself in the shoes of the early childhood educator and apply your knowledge and skills to navigate through each scenario.   Scenario 1   Both Friedrich Froebel and Maria Montessori developed unique materials to support their methods of teaching children.  These materials are still used in classrooms today. Imagine that you are an early childhood educator at a preschool where you teach a class of 3- to 5-year-olds.   Part A: Develop an original age-appropriate activity for your preschool class using one of the following. Froebel’s cube gift Froebel’s parquetry gift Lincoln Logs   Describe the activity that you have developed.   Identify at least two (2) skills that the activity would help develop.   Part B: Develop an original age-appropriate activity for your preschool class promoting the same skill(s) as the activity above, but develop the activity based on the Montessori method.   Describe the activity that you have developed.   What are at least two key differences between the two activities you developed?     Scenario 2   Characteristics of developmentally appropriate practices can be observed in classrooms. Intentional teachers can utilize this knowledge in planning experiences specifically designed for children of various ages to enhance their development and learning. Below is a list of some of the characteristics that children display naturally. Imagine that you are teaching a kindergarten class of 5- to 6-year-olds. Develop two learning activities that you could use to further nurture the development of these capabilities. Each experience should integrate at least three of the characteristics listed below. Make sure to describe how each characteristic is incorporated into the activities.   Lead                            Draw Create                          Raise questions Move                           Solve problems Create art                    Try again Make a plan                Read and make books Initiate                         Choose wisely Speak                          Decide   Scenario 3   Imagine that you are an early childhood educator who teaches a first-grade class of 6- to 7-year-olds. Develop an activity designed to promote reading and/or writing skills. Provide a description of the activity.   Explain how you would adapt this learning experience to be more appropriate for children with four of the following special needs. Gifted Intellectual disability Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder Speech delayed Hearing impairment Visual impairment Physical disability Epilepsy Asthma     Scenario 4   As an early childhood educator, imagine that you observe each of the situations below. Fill out the chart below, identifying the most likely cause, the most appropriate preventative guidance technique you, as the teacher, could use, the most appropriate solution that promotes positive self-concept and prosocial behaviors, and the reason why you selected each technique and solution.   1.      Mealtime Fight.  At age 18 months, highly active Jake climbs out of his high chair long before his meal is finished.  Exasperated, his teacher makes him sit at the table until he has eaten all of his food.  Soon Jake’s behavior escalates into throwing his food on the floor.   2.      Temper Tantrum.  Three-year-old Connor falls on the floor and kicks and hits his fists on the floor while he yells.  The teacher and three other children are sitting at a table nearby working on puzzles.  Connor continues this behavior and looks up every minute or so to see the teacher’s reaction.   3.      “Mommy, don’t go!”  Four-year-old Angela screams “Mommy, don’t go!” when her mother brings her to the center each morning.   4.      Bully.  Jenny, a first-grader, is large for her age.  When she enters the after-school program each day, she goes around the room pushing the other children and taking toys away from them.  No one wants to play with her because of the way she acts.
