Child Development Final Lab Report
You will design your very own creative arts project. This will include your community building ice breakers and closing reflection/discussion.
You will first select a specific age group & conduct some background research on that age group’s developmental abilities (& quote from your textbook or other reputable sources). Then, you will choose 2 main developmental goals (pick from chart in week 5 PowerPoint adapted from SEA) that are the most relevant and that you would like to focus on in the creative arts project you design. [At least one goal must be a cognitive goal. You will complete the template below which asks you to include key process words, reflections questions etc. In addition, you will state how you will accommodate children with special needs and handle disruptions and help children problem solve. YOU CAN USE CUE CARDS & PHRASES FORM CLASS /SLDIES!!!
