Curriculum Planning Form 2

One: Teacher and Child Goals

1. Teacher Goal: The teacher will be able to build trust with students and improve relationships with them.

1. Children goal: The children will eventually be able to build their self- confidence

Two: Evidence

Teacher Evidence BEFORE: In previous interactions, I observed the behaviors of children and their attitude towards the teacher.

Children: BEFORE: I noticed that students were not behaving so well towards each other. Some of them did not know how to act right.

AFTER: I noticed that the students were not connecting with the teacher. They have not gained and develop the trust of the teacher.

THREE: LEARNING EXPERIENCE

TEACHING STRATEGIES BEFORE: One of the teaching strategies that are to be used is modeling attitudes. The teacher will model the behavior of students and the way they relate to other people. AFTER: The teaching strategies used were demonstrating and giving specific feedback to the students. Next time, I will use modeling attitudes and also ensure that I acknowledge the students. “Acknowledge what children do or say”. This will help tailor learning experiences to differentiate among the individual needs of students.

CHILDREN EXPERIENCES BEFORE: The children will be able to learn how to convert vision into actual arts, how to judge between wrong and write, and how to read basic words and letters. The children will also be able to know what is wrong and right. A child will less likely to assault other children, not to destroy neighbors’ properties and how to control their tempers. AFTER: Children were able to behave in a better way and showed more trust with the teacher.

Curriculum Planning Form 3

A. Specific Teacher Objective 1. The teacher will eventually be able to

promote a positive climate in the preschool classroom community and have guidance talks with individual children.

2. As a teacher, she needs to understand the ways to build supportive relationships by encouraging children with specific feedback.

3. She is wondering about preventing conflict by establishing classroom agreements and reacting to challenging behavior.

1. The children will be able to show empathy for others and understand classroom rules.

2. Students need to learn how they can work with their classmates and the rules in the classroom community

3. Children will be able to practice expressing themselves in a respectful manager and reacting in a caring way.

SECTION TWO Documentation will be done by using anecdotal records. She already knows the way students relate to each other. What will be documented in the way they behave, and their reading skills. The resources needed include analysis tools, data-driven dialogue protocol, and collaborative assessment conference.

A. TEACHER EVIDENCE B. CHILDREN EVIDENCE • In previous interactions, the children

had basic judgmental skills. They were not however able to refrain from the lucrative temptations that would lead them into problems. For instance, the children would easily pick any material provided it was appealing to their eyes.

The teacher tried to verbally explain to the children how to avoid such temptations to make the right judgment or decision. It was then suggested that the goal of achieving the best outcome from the children would be best achieved through a short play involving the children. The teacher then sourced for short films on how to relate to the elderly and other members of the society, read, draw, and arrange objects.

• Initially, she realized that the children in early childhood educational stages were very vulnerable to poor decision making. Their decisions were based on how nature persuades their actions.

• After engaging the playing technique, noticing that the failure to internalize all the judgmental techniques from the teacher was due to the lack of an enabling environment.

The children under this new technique have shown even more creativity by wanting to dramatize everything they go through.

Curriculum Planning Form 4

I noticed that the children were able to judge their actions as either wrong or right. They knew they were wrong to destroy my flowers without permission. The only shortcoming was their inability to resist attractions towards seemingly good things that could land them into problems.

III. Learning Experience The strategies used in the past include engaging students in group work and assigning them various roles. The aim was to ensure that they learn how to respect each other and how to follow rules. Students were given a procedure to follow on reading a particular source.

TEACHING STRATEGIES BEFORE: The teaching strategies to be used are working in partnerships, using storytime for teachable moments, and nurturing a culture of kindness. AFTER: One of the strategies used was the other strategy creating a physical practical environment to assess the children’s understanding of the stories and the films watched. Equipment related to the ones used in the film is a benefit to the classroom and the children are asked to dramatize what they have watched. This is what I call, bringing the film environment to the classroom.

CHILDREN EXPERIENCES BEFORE: The children will watch, listen, and memorize the films. They will then dramatize the same film and then compare the results of their dramatization. AFTER: The children would then make models from mud, draw and name different shapes on paper and assign each other roles especially during games time.

Learning activities The learning instructions will include participating in group work and giving the students stories on the power of good morals. Children will be required to write messages to appreciation and respect for each other. I have been able to incorporate more teaching strategies as compared to the past. The effective part was engaging students in teamwork and promoting social-emotional development.
