STANDARD 4. USING DEVELOPMENTALLY EFFECTIVE APPROACHES
Candidates prepared in early childhood degree programs understand that teaching and learning with young children is a complex enterprise, and its details vary depending on children’s ages, characteristics, and the settings within which teaching and learning occur. They a) understand and use positive relationships and supportive interactions as the foundation for their work with young children and families. Candidates b, c) know, understand, and use a wide array of developmentally appropriate approaches, instructional strategies, and tools to connect with children and families and d) positively influence each child’s development and learning.
The assignment I chose to demonstrate a wide array of developmentally appropriate approaches, instructional strategies, and tools to connect with children and families and positively influence each child’s development and learning is my guidance policy from Edu 146: Child Guidance class. The Guidance Policy is an example policy for my future facility that I will use if I need guidance in how to handle behavior problems in my facility. Child Guidance is, “contrived methods for external control as well as interaction with an extension of the development of naturally unfolding, internal mechanisms and motivations for self-control and self-discipline.”
