...The first thing I learned is that every case is different and things that may work for one family/child may not work for another. The second thing I learned is that there is more paper work than I expected there to be and that there is more that goes into being a case worker than I expected. The third thing I learned is that there can be case that last several years. The case worker I observed told me that she has worked on one case for ten years and she thinks she will be on the case for two more years. The fourth thing is that there need to be more service for families like the case I saw and more service for victims of rape and child abuse. The fifth thing I learned is that I do not want to work as a case worker in a CYS and that I truly want to work with kids/adults with disabilities. I would suggest for this family to continue to go to the family therapy they have been going to for help. I would also suggest for the mother and her son to join a support group for parents of children who were sexually abused. This way she can talked to someone about her feelings and people who are in a similar position...

...Piaget developed the theory that the best way to study children was in their natural environment. The aim of this assignment is to study children in their natural environment just as Piaget and gain first hand evidence of their developmental process. The procedure for this experiment is to document the actions observed and to use the observations as evidence for the child study. To gain an efficient amount of evidence the observation must consist of at least 20 hours but the hours must be spread out within a 2-4 month time span. The student is observed in the same setting, so he is comfortable enough to “act natural.” The first class I observed was Ms. Alison’s class which consisted of 12 boys and 2 girls, age 4. Ms. Alison is a new inexperienced teacher. The second class I observed was Ms. Corney’s class which consisted of 9 girls and 8 boys, age 5. Ms. Alison is an experienced teacher, of whom has been teaching for 5+ years. During the instructed time in each class, observation will be taken of the students peer to peer communication, academic ability during curriculum activities and each child’s individual progress within their own development. The student I observed is an African American/Hispanic, male age 5. He can understand Spanish and is learning English. For the sake of this experiment I will refer to the student as “Michael.” He has black hair and dark brown eyes. Michael is high energized, happy boy whom enjoys playing with toy cars. He is learning to communication...

...Maloy Chapter 11 Discussion Question #5 To what extent would you be willing to contact parents of low- achieving students when you become a teacher? Do you think this should be part of the classroom teacher’s responsibilities? As a teacher it will be my job to create an equal learning experience to every child in my classroom. I will need to make modifications and exceptions for students who preform under his or her peers. These modifications may include extra time for assignments, extra help in specific subjects either in class or after class or even modifying the assignments to a level in which they understand. If and when I see that these modifications are not helping the student progress, I will then know it problem outside the classroom that is causing this child to struggle. I believe that it is my responsibility to report to higher authorities that a child is consistently doing poorly. For example, a principal should be notified. At this point it is also important to have a meeting with the child’s parents to inform them of their child’s problem. This meeting will allow the principal and myself to talk to the parents about the reasons why a child is doing poorly. We can determine if there is a problem going on in the home, in the classroom or if the problem originates from the lack of parental support. This information can be used to determine ways to help this student in the classroom and at home. It does not stop here. Throughout the school year I...

...heavier and staying ahead of the curve becomes more of a challenge. As a parent, you may ask, “What is the ‘secret behind the A’?” While having effective study skills may be overlooked on the academic journey, we’ve seen this be the tipping point in making good students into great students. Here are 10 good study habits for your tween or teen to help set him or her up for a productive school year. 1. Get Organized. Between homework, tests and extracurricular activities, it’s all too easy for things to slip through the cracks. A planner can help your child keep everything organized and students should write down assignments, appointments and to-do lists. Ask him or her to review items in the planner at both the beginning and end of the day to stay on track. 2. Know the Expectations. Students shouldn’t have any surprises when it come to how and what they will be graded on. By middle school and high school, most teachers will provide a course outline or syllabus, which can serve as a guide for the semester. If expectations aren’t clear, don’t wait until a bad report card comes in the mail. Your student should feel comfortable approaching teachers with questions about grading and assignments at any time. If this is not the case, it may be time for you as a parent to step in. 3. Designate a Study Area. Yes, studying at the local coffee shop may seem like a good idea but not if there are constantly people interrupting or other disruptions. Even at home,...

...This study selected young kids, ages 3 and 4, who are taking a musical program and later will perform in two concerts as research participants. This study used a self-report survey, a questionnaire given to parents, a testing on Cortisol secretion, and a lesson observation as research measures. The study argued that music performance anxiety (MPA) for child performers could be affected both by acquired and inborn nature. Results showed that first, stress and MPA exists among child performers. Second, the more prior experience of performing, the less anticipatory anxiety will occur. Third, young children receiving more prior experience of performing also have higher Cortisol levels. Fourth, the quality of performance can be improved if child performers are more familiar with their performance location, venue, and environment. Fifth, children performed better in the second concert than in the first one. Finally, increasing experience of performing may reduce the level of stress and anxiety....
