Week 6Likeness and Difference Among ChildrenSlide2
Analysis Questions Below are the analysis questions to think about before watching/listening to this clip. Their purpose is to activate your prior knowledge with this topic and to help your focus your thinking in this area
:How do children differ? How are they alike?Are all children teachable?
Should children with exceptionalities be labelled?Think back to your own educational experience. How were exceptional children treated and supported? How did this make you feel?How can educators support children’s differing needs in an inclusive manner?Slide3
Likeness and DifferenceHow are children alike?
What are some of the challenges to identifying typical and atypical development?Slide4
Categories of Exceptionalities
Definitions of the 5 exceptionalities are provided at the Ministry of Education link (Appendix D): http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/general/elemsec/speced/iepstand/iepstand.html
Exceptionalities include: Behaviour Communication (autism, deaf and hard of hearing, language impairment, speech impairment, learning disability) Intellectual (gifted, mild intellectual disability, developmental disability)
Physical (physical disability, health, blind and low vision)
Multiple (multiple exceptionalities)Slide5
Labelling a Young Child Children who may be developmentally different in one way may resemble their peers far more than they differ from them.
Developmental sequence may be the same, but rate differsA disability in one area does not imply special programming in all areasEarly interventions services may support children to overcome challenges e.g., premature infantSlide6
CaseAt age 3, William spoke very little, had difficulty following directions and showcased few play skills. He scored low on an IQ test and was subsequently placed in a preschool for children with intellectual impairments. At age 7, it was discovered that William had severe hearing loss. Slide7
Advantages of Labelling Enhances public awareness of developmental differencesGaining governmental funds
Gaining services and supportsFacilitates communication between professionalsIdentifies specific medial conditionsSlide8
Developmentally Appropriate PracticeBegin with where the child isScaffold learning
Set challenging, yet achievable goalsUse a variety of instructional strategies to meet the needs of the individual child; leverage strengthsPurposeful planningSlide9
Becoming an Intentional TeacherWatch the following clip:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnBk_c_ztiA
Identify what intentional teaching means to you. Slide10
Synthesis Questions Read the questions below following this clip. Use these questions to assist you in synthesizing ideas that occurred to you during this clip. Reflect on these ideas and discuss your thoughts during tutorial:
1. What does intentional teaching mean to you? How does this translate into your practice?2. How can you support inclusive education for students with exceptionalities in your class?
For this weeks tutorial, come to class prepared with 3-4 slides summarizing key findings on development across one domain in early childhood and describe how technology can be used intentionally to support development across this domain
