At Week 8 and Week 16 of the semester you will monitor your progress towards achieving your goals. Your learning, growth and progress towards achieving your goals will help to determine your grade for ECE 209. To monitor your progress towards meeting you goals, answer the questions below at the end of each module to document your progress over the semester.
What did you learn in this week’s modules for ECE 209-Lecture and Seminar that connects to your goals?
Information/ knowledge
Skills
Insights (connections you made or “ah-ha’s” you had about the material)
How will the material from these modules help and support you to meet your goals?
At the end of the semester you will develop a Self-Assessment of what you have learned which will help to determine your grade for ECE 209. 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 cognitive, social/emotional, physical/ motor, and language/ communication developmental milestones does the 1-year-old baby (in red short) in the video demonstrate? How?
