This module focused on developmentally appropriate practices and the role it plays in early childhood education. We also looked at what it means to be an intentional teacher and the complex role of early childhood educators. For this reflection:  In your own words, describe what is developmentally appropriate practice (DAP)? What are some of the core considerations that early childhood educators know and understand to be intentional in their decisions?     Describe what you would expect to see if you walked into a DAP classroom. Use your words to paint a picture of this DAP classroom and what is happening inside.  What would the classroom look like? What materials would you see? What would the teacher be doing?  What would the children be doing? What would the daily schedule look like?

The field assignment requires that you go out into the field and observe the different ways people use listening concepts in their daily communication interaction. However, given the current pandemic, it may not safe to observe publicly how individuals show signs of listening components. Therefore, you may analyze a movie of your choice to observe similar encounters of the listening components based on the movie characters. Also, consider if there are differences in cultural groups on listen compared to other groups. Please type at least 2 pages, 12font, double-spaced essay. Worth 20 points. Objective: to learn more about the way people use different styles of listening. Also, to understand how these different listening concepts affect communication within cultural groups/norms.

Write about some of the concepts that show you that they are listening to one another (e.g. direct eye contact, asking questions, or empathy, paraphrasing etc). Your book lists more concepts. Second, observe any similarities and differences in how people of different cultures use listening styles. Are there any similarities or differences that you can observe among diverse groups? Based on your observation, was one person a stronger listener? Third, write about how did any listening inequalities impact the communication exchange? Also, write some solutions on how the people that you just observe can improve their listening skills or how one can improve their listening skills.

Case Scenario You are the president of a community college. You receive a letter from the president of the nearest state university, the major transfer institution for your students. The letter informs you that, because of state funding reductions, the university will be limiting the number of transfer students it admits so that it can preserve seats for deserving freshmen. In addition, the grade point average for students transferring from community coleges will be increased from 2.75 to 3.25 beginning next fall semester.  Evaluate the scenario, explaining how you would address the situation if you were the leader of the organization affected by the situation. What issues does the scenario create? Who should be involved in addressing the situation? What actions will you take? You will need to use the information discussed in class as well as find other resources to support the effectiveness and feasibility of your proposal—using references to cite how other leaders/institutions have/have not been successful in similar situations. Your response should consist of a 2-3-page, APA style paper. It is expected that you cite at least 3 references. See rubric for details.

The name of this news story is, “Forced On-line—The New College of Covid” The story is about how professors and students are learning to teach and learn on-line. Is this a short news story or a “magazine video” for a program like “60 Minutes?” Who is your audience? What is the message? (what do you want your audience to know, feel, or do?) Is it more effective to have an on-camera reporter or a voice-over with pictures and video—and why or why not? Who would you interview? Where and how would the interviews take place? What visuals would be in the story (what visuals or series of visual “say” on-line learning?
