Review Social-Emotional Milestones

This assignment has 2 parts:

Part 1: Apply what you have learned about social-emotional development to the child in this video (material from the 3 readings, skills & processes, milestones, etc.).

Part 2: Your best friend just had her first family-teacher conference for her baby. The teachers commented on the baby’s social-emotional development. Your friend comes to you and confesses that she doesn’t understand how babies can develop socially or emotionally – they are just babies. Cite extensive evidence from each of the readings, Power Point and video to explain to your friend:

  1. What are the aspects of a baby’s social development? What are the aspects of a baby’s emotional development?
  2. What can babies do socially and emotionally?
  3. What should infant teachers do to support a baby’s social-emotional development?

Module 5 Social-Emotional Development Assignment #4: Initial Contact with the Family of an Infant Report (9/21-9/27)

After identifying the family you plan to interview for your Infant/ Family Case Study, contact them, introduce, explain, and ask using the guidelines from Module 4.  After you have found a family to work with, complete the Initial Contact with the Family of an Infant Report and submit it on Blackboard (in course menu under “Assignments”).

Blackboard does not accept Google Documents.

Module 5 Social-Emotional Development Assignment #5: Self-Reflection (9/21-9/27)

At the end of the semester you will help to determine your grade for ECE 209 based on your Self-Assessment of what you have learned. In preparation for your Self-Assessment, answer the questions below; you will answer these questions at the end of each module so you have a record of what you have learned over the semester. You can answer the questions here on Open Lab or create a journal on Blackboard (which would be private).

  • What did you learn in this week’s modules for ECE 209-Lecture and Seminar?
    • Information/ knowledge
    • Skills
    • Insights (connections you made or “ah-ha’s” you had about the material)
  • How will the material from these modules better prepare you to work with infants?

Module 3 Feedback

Thanks for your effort in completing Module 3 for ECE 209-Lecture and Seminar!  Module 2 and 3 lay the foundation for the work of infant teachers.  Effective infant teachers to master the skills and material discussed in these modules.

I noticed that many people cited materials from the readings, videos, and/ or Power Points in your comments!  I look forward to reading your responses to Module #4!

Based on everyone’s response, we will keep the Sunday at 11:59 PM suggested due date for Modules.  However, if you need additional time, please reach out!

Module 1 Feedback

I hope you are safe an healthy.  I finished reviewing Module 1.  We are off to a strong start!  I enjoyed meeting you on through the videos on FlipGrid.  I left responses to all the videos — you can go to Flip Grid and view my replies.  The answers for the Scavenger Hunt were spot on for Assignment #2! People had thoughtful advice to offer their friend  in Assignment #3.

I realized there are things I need to improve:

  1. I created a video to help with using Hypothesis — it is in Module 2.
  2. I will also create a video on how to cite videos and readings — it’s in Module 2 also

I noticed that people included materials from readings and videos in their responses!  However, no one identified the source, or cited the video or reading.  To receive full credit for your comment be sure your comment meets the “Learner” criteria in all tasks in the Completing Modules rubric (in the “About this Class” menu item, under “Papers & Projects” in the Papers & Projects Guidelines, on p. 2).

If you did not finish Module 1, you can still go back and finish some or all of it!
