STANDARD 5. USING CONTENT KNOWLEDGE TO BUILD MEANINGFUL CURRICULUM
Candidates prepared in early childhood degree programs a) use their knowledge of academic disciplines to design, implement, and evaluate experiences that promote positive development and learning for each and every young child. Candidates understand the importance of developmental domains and academic (or content) disciplines in early childhood curriculum. They b) know the essential concepts, inquiry tools, and structure of content areas, including academic subjects, and can identify resources to deepen their understanding. Candidates c) use their own knowledge and other resources to design, implement, and evaluate meaningful, challenging curriculum that promotes comprehensive developmental and learning outcomes for every young child.
For the NAEYC Standard 5: Using Content Knowledge to build meaningful curriculum, I chose my assignment from EDU 280: Language and Literacy: Travel with Books assignment. This assignment required me to look up eight books and explain what age is this book most appropriate for? Why? and What to question do I ask before the story, in the middle and at the end of each story. We were required to list at least seven different genres including, Rhyming/Poetry, Fairy-tale, Classic, Bibliotherapy, an award winner, nature, and a fable/folktale. This assignment is reading with dialogue; when I have my own facility I will use this assignment as well as reading with dialogue to teach my students.
