5. Can racist and sexist attitudes be changed? How? (Page 92)
6. Educators who engage children in culturally responsive educational experiences help to build a young child’s self-confidence and skills, increase children's awareness, appreciation, and inclusion of diverse beliefs and cultures, and maximize children's academic achievement and educational success.
According to Hendrick and Weiss “The purpose of a multicultural curriculum is to attach positive feelings to multicultural experiences so that each child will feel included and valued and will also feel friendly and respectful toward people from other ethnic and cultural groups. When you get right down to it, all the multiethnic pictures and recipes and books in the world will not make much difference if teachers, in their hearts, cannot appreciate the strong points of each child and family and help the other children appreciate them, too.”
a. Describe the principles of cross-cultural, non-sexist education? (Page 96)
b. How important is it to read children books that cover the attitudes in our society about diversity, power relationships among different groups of people, and various social identities (e.g., racial, ethnic, gender, economic class, sexual orientation, and disability)?
7. Educators need the knowledge and the ability to firstly recognize a child with diverse abilities and then support their growth.

b. Why is the teacher considered a screening agent? (Page 123)
c. What is the role of the teacher in calling the difficulty to the family’s attention? (Page 124)
d. Is it the teacher’s place to diagnose? (Page 125)
e. How important is it to include children with special needs into a learning environment? (Page 126)
8. An IEP (Individual Education Plan) needs to be created for a child who has special needs. This is done by a team of professionals versed in development in which the child’s difficulties lie. (Page 127)
a. Who is on the team?
b. What happens during the conference?
c. What information is contained in the IEP?
d. What is the transdisciplinary approach? (Page 128)

10. Preschoolers with special needs are members of our communities, programs, and families and it is our responsibility to provide high-quality, inclusive support and care for these children and their families. While these families often experience additional challenging situations and stressors, they have hopes, dreams, and goals for their children just like other families. You can positively impact families with a preschooler with a disability by empowering them with knowledge, empathizing with their feelings, and collaborating with other support professionals in their lives.

2. Describe the developmental stages of play. (Page 67)
Stage of Play |
Description |
Piaget’s stages of play |
Piaget developed the first classification system for identifying play's stages in 1962. Based on how children use play materials, this theory divides play into stages. |
Functional play |
At the functional level, play begins. A baby playing with his toes or a 2-year-old squeezing dough through her fists are both examples of simple, repetitive, exploratory activities at this stage. |
Constructive play |
The second stage is constructive play—doing something with a purpose or goal, like filling a bucket with water. Children between the ages of two and four are most likely to engage in constructive play. In this type of play, children learn to use simple or manageable play materials for a specific purpose. |
Dramatic play |
Dramatic play is the third stage, and it usually starts around the age of 4. During this stage, children participate in imaginative and pretend play by assuming various roles and imagining various scenarios. |
Games with rules |
The fourth stage, which typically appears around the age of 6 or 7, is games with rules. During this stage, children participate in organized activities, board games, sports, and other structured play activities with clear guidelines. |
Solitary play |
Solitary play is a stage in a child's development during which they engage in their own activities and play by themselves. |
Parallel play |
Parallel play is when two or more children play together but do not actively interact or play together. |
Associative play |
Associative play is when kids play with each other and interact with each other without a set objective or structured structure. |
Cooperative play |
The final stage is cooperative play, in which children actively collaborate and work together toward a common objective. |
3. Describe factors likely to facilitate creative play. (Page 70)
Factors Likely to guide creative play |
Describe what this theory looks like in the learning environment. |
allow children's ideas to develop, and avoid dominating the play |
Trusting that children can play productively without excessive intervention or manipulation, teachers should encourage children to express themselves in their own way. |
teacher-directed play |
It might be hard for some teachers to let go of control and let kids come up with their own ideas. Play's ability to be spontaneous and creative can be hindered if it is overmanipulated for the purpose of teaching. |
child initiated play with teacher support |
Without directing the play, teachers should respond to the interests of their students and offer assistance and resources. |
teacher intervention in play |
They broaden the play insight and advance by effectively captivating with the kids' thoughts and requirements. |
4. Positive interactions with teachers and with peers influence a child’s social and emotional, and academic development. ECEAs have a responsibility to provide meaningful, positive, and healthy care to children. Describe unhealthy attitudes that some teachers have that negatively impact children. (Page 90) 200
Unhealthy, negative teacher attitudes towards children |
Describe what an educator can do to ensure their attitude, thinking and biases don’t negatively impact a child. |
Lower expectations for minority students |
Teachers should spread awareness regarding the importance of respect among minatory student's |
Prejudice towards Muslims |
Need to spread awareness and the importance of different cultures |
Differences in behaviour toward boys or girls |
The teachers can build Cognitive skill building so that the students will not differ between boys and girls |
5. Can racist and sexist attitudes be changed? How? (Page 92) 200
With the help of education the behaviour of racism and sexism can be easily changed. However, they need the proper guidance so that they can improve themselves. In this society, there are different of people who belong to this category and with proper education they are able to improve themselves. |
6. ECEAs who engage children in culturally responsive educational experiences help to build a young child’s self-confidence and skills, increase children's awareness, appreciation, and inclusion of diverse beliefs and cultures, and maximize children's academic achievement and educational success.
According to Hendrick and Weiss, “The purpose of a multicultural curriculum is to attach positive feelings to multicultural experiences so that each child will feel included and valued and will also feel friendly and respectful toward people from other ethnic and cultural groups. When you get right down to it, all the multiethnic pictures and recipes and books in the world will not make much difference if teachers, in their hearts, cannot appreciate the strong points of each child and family and help the other children appreciate them, too.”
a. Describe the principles of cross-cultural, non-sexist education? (Page 96)
b. How important is it to read children's books that cover the attitudes in our society about diversity, power relationships among different groups of people, and various social identities (e.g., racial, ethnic, gender, economic class, sexual orientation, and disability)?
Diverse, non-chauvinist instruction is directed by a few standards, as depicted on page 96 of Hendrick and Weiss' work. Among these principles are: · Inclusivity: Taking into account and valuing the various cultural experiences, identities, and backgrounds of each student, as well as ensuring that they all have equal opportunities and participation in the educational setting. · Equity and respect: striving for fair treatment and access to resources and opportunities for all people, regardless of their cultural or gender identity. · Cultural sensitivity: challenging stereotypes and biases while fostering an appreciation of diverse cultures, beliefs, and perspectives. · Thinking critically: fostering an informed and empathetic perspective by encouraging students to critically consider societal norms, power dynamics, and cultural and gender-related social injustices. It is crucial to read children's books about attitudes toward diversity, power dynamics, and various social identities. Children can learn about different points of view, develop empathy, and question stereotypes through these books. They can encourage marginalized groups to feel like they belong and accept themselves, as well as children from different backgrounds to understand and respect one another. Children learn about the lives of people from a variety of racial, ethnic, gender, economic, and other identity groups by reading these books. They acquire a more nuanced comprehension of society, acquire an appreciation for diversity, and learn to recognize the effects of power dynamics. |
7. ECEAs need the knowledge and the ability to first recognize a child with diverse abilities and then support their growth.
a. What does deviation from typical development mean? (Page 121)
b. Why is the teacher considered a screening agent? (Page 123)
c. What is the role of the teacher in calling the difficulty to the family’s attention? (Page 124)
d. Is it the teacher’s place to diagnose? (Page 125)
e. How important is it to include children with special needs into a learning environment? (Page 126) 200
1. Deviation from run-of-the-mill improvement alludes to varieties or contrasts in a youngster's development and progress that fall outside the normal or normal examples of advancement. It indicates that a child may not be meeting certain developmental milestones or exhibiting typical skills and abilities for their age group, highlighting the requirement for additional assistance or intervention. 2. As they regularly have the opportunity to observe children's behaviours, interactions, and academic progress, teachers are regarded as screening agents. 3. Concerns about a child's development or behaviour should be brought to the family's attention by the teacher when the problem arises. The teacher can collaborate with the family to investigate the available resources, interventions, or referrals that may benefit the child's growth and development by sharing observations and discussing potential difficulties or delays. 4. A child's diagnosis is not the responsibility of a teacher. According to Hendrick & Weiss, page 125, qualified professionals, such as doctors, psychologists, or specialists, are responsible for diagnosing a patient. They are able to carry out comprehensive assessments, and evaluations, and provide an official diagnosis based on their expertise and training. 5. In order to foster inclusivity and advance the overall development and well-being of all children, it is essential to include children with special needs in a learning environment. Children with special needs have the chance to learn alongside their peers, acquire social skills, cultivate empathy and comprehension, and gain access to individualized assistance and accommodations in inclusive settings. |
8. An IEP (Individual Education Plan) needs to be created for a child who has special needs. This is done by a team of professionals versed in development in which the child’s difficulties lie. (Page 127)
a. Who is on the team?
b. What happens during the conference?
c. What information is contained in the IEP?
d. What is the transdisciplinary approach? (Page 128) 200
1. The child's parents, teachers, a special education teacher, a school psychologist, an administrator, and other educational professionals like speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists typically make up the team. 2. The IEP group meets to talk about the youngster's singular assets and shortcomings, the kid's instructive requirements, and any facilities and alterations that can be made to help the kid's learning. In addition, the team agrees on the child's appropriate special services, programs, and placement and develops specific goals and objectives for the child. 3. The following types of data are typically included in an IEP: the child's current performance levels, annual goals and short-term objectives, special education services and programs, related services, classroom modifications, program modifications, transitions and supports, and a statement of the child's progress toward the goals and objectives. 4. An approach to special education known as the transdisciplinary approach entails all team members working together to develop an individualized educational program for the child. The child's needs and strengths in all areas of development are taken into account in this holistic and comprehensive approach to developing the IEP. |
9. Describe the ways ECEAs welcome a child with special needs and their family into a childcare setting. (Page 129)
ECEAs welcome kids with unique necessities and their families into a childcare setting by establishing a strong and comprehensive climate. They team up with families to assemble data about the youngster's assets, necessities, and inclinations. ECEAs adapt materials and the physical environment to meet the needs of each child. In order to guarantee ongoing collaboration and feedback, they establish open lines of communication with the family. ECEAs collaborate closely with other staff members to implement individualized strategies and provide consistent support. They promote acceptance, empathy, and comprehension by cultivating positive relationships with the child, their family, and other children. ECEAs strive to make a welcoming and welcoming environment where children with special needs can thrive and actively participate in all aspects of the childcare setting through these efforts. |
10. Preschoolers with special needs are members of our communities, programs, and families and it is our responsibility to provide high-quality, inclusive support and care for these children and their families. While these families often experience additional challenging situations and stressors, they have hopes, dreams, and goals for their children just like other families. You can positively impact families with a preschooler with a disability by empowering them with knowledge, empathizing with their feelings, and collaborating with other support professionals in their lives.

Part 2 Connect and Reflect
12. A developmental delay refers to a child who has not gained the developmental skills expected of him or her, compared to others of the same age. Delays may occur in the areas of motor function, speech, and language, cognitive, play, and social skills.
a. How would you include a child with developmental delays in a program? (Page 147)
b. How committed are you to including this child in an education setting? How important is inclusion? 100
1. Individualized support and accommodations are essential if a child with developmental delays is to be included in a program. Adapting activities and materials to meet their needs, providing specialized instruction, and working with therapists or specialists are all examples of this. To ensure a consistent and comprehensive approach, it is essential to communicate frequently with the child's family. 2. Inclusion provides equal opportunities for all children to learn and grow, promotes diversity and empathy, and fosters a sense of belonging. We create a supportive environment that helps every child, even those with developmental delays, reach their full potential by embracing inclusion. |
Part 3 Theory into Practice
13. Pretend that you are ready to open your own learning Centre. List and describe in detail 5 activities that you would incorporate in your Centre. Describe 2 variations for each activity to further engage, motivate and develop mastery for each child. (Page 78)

Description |
Suggest 2 Variations |
Coding class |
Children will learn programming languages and coding through this activity. |
· engage and motivate children · to create a project-based learning experience |
Science experiments |
In order to teach children about various scientific concepts like gravity, electricity, and chemistry, this activity will involve carrying out science experiments. |
To allow them to design and carry out their own experiments, which will make the experiments more interactive. |
Creative writing |
Children will learn how to write creatively, including poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, through this activity. |
Encourage children to collaborate and write stories together to further engage and inspire them. |
Music lessons |
Children will learn to play the guitar, piano, and drums, among other musical instruments, through this activity. |
Concentrate on a single instrument to develop mastery and provide children with more advanced lessons as they progress. |
Language classes |
Children will learn a new language through this activity, such as Mandarin, Spanish, or French. |
Create opportunities for children to practice speaking the language in real-world settings to develop mastery. |
14. How would you help to integrate a child with disabilities, such as blindness or developmental delays, into the children’s play? Give specific examples of what you might say and do. (Page 129)
Using inclusive language, providing sensory experiences, encouraging communication, promoting collaborative play, modifying games or toys, educating peers, and individualizing support are all necessary for incorporating a child with a disability into children's play. |
15. During outside play time, Maria is moving from one activity to another. It seems every few minutes she is moving from one activity to another. She started off by grabbing a ball for a few minutes and then dropped it. She then ran to the sandbox and moved a toy truck for a minute. She saw Fernando playing on a tricycle and then ran to get the other tricycle. (Page 72-77)
a. How can you, the ECEA, intervene and extend her play so that she is more engaged and benefit from the outdoor experience?
b. What would you say?
c. What would you do?
1. As the ECEA, you can intervene in Maria's play and extend it by introducing open-ended materials or activities that boost creativity and imagination. She could turn out to be more included and inspired by the action subsequently, which will likewise assist her with fostering her psyche and body. 2. In order to encourage Maria to participate in new activities, it is essential to use encouraging language. 3. You can show Maria how to use the new activities or take part in them yourself, modelling the behaviour you want to see, to get her involved. You can also pair her up with another child who might be interested in the same activity or offer to play with her. |
