Developmentally Appropriate Instruction
1/1
Design and Implementation of Developmentally Appropriate
Instruction
Explanation of the Standard:
An early childhood special education teacher must understand how
to use the individual family serviceplan or the individual
education program to design and implement developmentally
appropriateinstruction for children that have developmental delays
or disabilities or medical conditions.
Description of Supporting Artifacts:
The first artifact that I included in this standard is a power
point presentation and paper that Ideveloped upon researching the
curriculum Bank Street. The second artifact is a general view of
severaldifferent social skills curriculums that could be used in
the field. Another artifact that I have included isan assignment
that I did on Attention Deficit / Hyper-Activity Disorder. The last
artifact that I included isa Functional Behavior Assessment that I
completed on a child, along with the contract that wedeveloped.
Analysis:
The first two artifacts that I have included show some of the
different curriculum that is out there that ateacher would be able
to use with his students. It is important for a teacher to be able
to know a varietyof different curriculum that is available for his
students.It is important to know what exactly needs to be designed
and implemented from the child sIndividualized Education Program.
The third artifact is some very specific strategies that could be
usedwith a child that has attention deficit / hyper-activity
disorder. These strategies could help a child beable to strengthen
impulse control, develop ability to sit and attend for longer
periods of time and focuson task at hand, which would be goals that
would be in a child s individual education program who hasattention
deficit / hyper-activity disorder.There are many children that have
behavior goals in their individual education program. Knowing how
touse certain tools, such as a functional behavior assessment, can
help a teacher be able to find theantecedent and develop a contract
for that child in order to diminish the behavior. Synthesis /
Interpretation:
I have gotten a sense of the many different curriculums that are
out there. It is important to understandeach child s individual
goals and objectives on their individual family service plan or
individual educationprogram in order to know which curriculum or
strategies would work for that child. Each child is going to
learn different so know a vast number of strategies is going to
make a teacher that much more effectivein the field. Many child
exhibits behavior problems and it is important to be able to
address thosebehaviors with the child and the importance of trying
to diminish behaviors that are negatively affectingthe child s
education or other children s education around that child. In the
future I will continue tolearn about more curriculums and be
willing to try new strategies that will benefit the learning of
thechild. I will also continue to learn new strategies that will
help diminish behavior problems in theclassroom.
