q_3.docxQ: 3 Use the Hojnoski and Wood (2012) article from Week 9 to respond to this question. Explain why you would use the approach described in the article regarding early childhood assessment and intervention that integrates a focus on environmental or contextual variables with early academic skill instruction in your own practice. Consider the philosophical rationale proposed by the authors as well as the legal requirements related to student educational progress and access to the preschool foundations. Also consider the expected benefits to children, their families, and your school district or program.

My friend answer you can use it as a guide for you:
This article discusses an approach to assessment and intervention of challenging behavior in early education settings that integrates a focus on instructional conditions and early academic skill development. This approach allows for a better understanding of the social behavior and child performance with the overall goal of developing interventions that both reduce challenging behavior and increase learning. In my classroom I would apply this approach by considering that social behavior and a child’s performance go hand in hand. Keeping this in mind, I would be cautious in making sure that the intervention I would use to address the challenging behavior within the classroom addresses the child socially and individually because if we notice that the child is acting out in order to impress their peers, then their behavior is affecting the child’s academic performance. Therefore, finding the appropriate intervention to minimize both the social and the individualized aspect will promote academic success.
The authors suggest that their approach to assessment and intervention allows for a better understanding of the relationship between social behavior and child performance with the overall goal of developing interventions that both reduce challenging behavior "and" increase learning. Legality is done through functional behavioral assessment (FBA) which provides an understanding of the behavior that is challenging the student. Also, FBA is followed by a discussion of early academic considerations. As well, recommendations are made to support a more comprehensive assessment and intervention approach for challenging behavior.
The benefits that the article proposes for the student is that the challenging behavior that interferes with the child’s learning will eventually have an intervention to reduce the challenging behavior as well as increase academic learning. As for the parents, it will give them a different approach to encounter their child’s behavior and be able to reinforce it positively. Last but not least, school programs would benefit from this approach because they will have developed an intervention plan that will include strategies to support skill development and to reinforce positive behaviors. School programs can integrate and emphasize on contexts for learning and early academic skill development by using practices like FBA.
