Promoting Child Development and Learning. Students prepared in early childhood degree programs are grounded in a child development knowledge base. Candidates use their understanding of young children’s characteristics and needs and of the multiple interacting influences on children’s development and learning to create environments that are healthy, respectful, supportive, and challenging for each child. 1a: Knowing and understanding young children’s characteristics and needs 1b: Knowing and understanding the multiple influences on development and learning 1c: Using developmental knowledge to create healthy, respectful, supportive, and challenging learning environments 1a: Knowing and understanding young children’s characteristics and needs • Observation of child, focusing on one or more specific domains of development • Case study of child • Article review on current research topic in child development • Research paper on a specific aspect of child development, behavior, play, or learning • PowerPoint presentation on a specific theory and how it relates to classroom practice Candidates’ work shows a thorough grounding in theories and current research in all areas of child development and learning. Candidates’ work shows that they understand inter- relationships among developmental areas, as seen in their rich examples of these interrelationships. Candidates actively seek out new information about child development and learning using multiple sources, including technology. Candidates’ work reflects current, research-based knowledge in most respects; candidates are knowledgeable about development in all areas and can give examples of interrelationships among developmental areas. Candidates’ work displays a limited knowledge base, insufficiently grounded in theory and research. 1b: Knowing and understanding the multiple influences on development and learning • Observation • Case study • Family interview • Classroom presentation on specific early intervention program • Research paper on specific kind of experience (e.g. mother/child interaction) and the influence on development • Presentation on a specific toy or material and how it can be used to promote development Candidates’ work shows that they not only know about the number and variety of these influences but they also have thorough knowledge of possible interactions among these influences and of relevant theory and research. Their understanding is demonstrated in their many research-based examples of how early intervention programs may influence outcomes for children. Candidates’ work shows that they can describe the nature of these influences and understand that influences may interact in complex ways. Their work demonstrates familiarity with the most well known early intervention programs, and they can cite research about the influence of these programs on child outcomes. Candidates’ work displays a limited knowledge base and may reflect a simplified view of influences on development. Candidates’ work shows only a limited knowledge of early intervention. 1c: Using developmental knowledge to create healthy, respectful, supportive, and challenging learning environments • In-depth observation of early childhood learning environment • Design a quality, developmentally appropriate comprehensive plan for a hypothetical day care center which includes, integrated curriculum, floor plans/materials &equipment, parent brochure which outlines schedules and program philosophy, and a three dimensional model of outdoor play area • Evaluative checklist for safe and stimulating outdoor play environment • Plan for a learning center which targets specific developmental objectives • List of books and materials that would support children from diverse home cultures in a classroom. Candidates’ work shows their ability to describe, in-depth, the developmental research and principles that they are using as a basis for creating effective learning environments. Evidence is convincing that the environments created by candidates support children’s health, respect their culture and individuality, promote positive development, and challenge children to gain new competencies. Candidates’ work shows that they can describe the essentials of developmental research and the principles that they are using as a basis for creating effective learning environments. There is adequate evidence that the environments created by these candidates support children’s health, respect their culture and individuality, promote positive development, and challenge children to gain new competencies. Candidates’ work shows limited ability to describe the developmental research and principles that they are using as a basis for creating learning environments. There is insufficient evidence that the environments created by these candidates support children’s health, respect their culture and individuality, promote positive development, and challenge children to gain new competencies.
