Showcase Artifact: Child Observation
This artifact demonstrates my understanding of Standard 1. The child that I chose to observe is named J.M. He is four years nine months of age. The observation took place inside and outside of the preschool classroom. J has been observed in class by a developmental specialists this semester.
I understand that there are many different things that influence a young child’s development and learning, and of how those influences may interact to affect development in both positive and negative ways.
Those influences include the cultural and linguistic contexts for development, children’s close relationships with adults and peers, economic conditions of children and families, children’s health status and disabilities individual developmental variations and learning styles, opportunities to play and learn, technology and the media, and family and community characteristics. Candidates also understand the potential influence of early childhood programs, including early intervention, on short- and long-term outcomes for children.
