Preschool Parent Handout
Throughout this course, you will be creating a series of parent handouts focused on the various ages and stages of development. The fourth week of class has focused on the preschool period; therefore, this will be the focus of your Week 4 assignment. Continuing with the same template from your Week 1 Theory Parent Handout assignment, your Week 2 Prenatal and Newborn Parent Handout assignment, and your Week 3 Infant and Toddler Parent Handout assignment, complete the slides for the Week 4 portion.
To prepare:
Read Chapter 8: Physical Development in Early Childhood
Read Chapter 9: Cognitive Development in Early Childhood
Read What Is Differentiated Instruction? A Definition for TeachersLinks to an external site.
Find and open your latest version of the Parent Handout template on your computer. You will be adding on to this document.
For your assignment, complete the following:
Handout:
Discuss how the theories of Piaget and Vygotsky will influence the ways you support cognitive development in the preschool years.
Explain your philosophy of why learning centers are a developmentally appropriate method for supporting the physical development of preschoolers.
Describe your philosophy of supporting vocabulary development of preschoolers.
Explain three resources for families to support them during the preschool stage of development. Be sure to include a link to each resource.
One resource should be a quick read for families on the go.
One resource should be more detailed for families who want to learn more.
One resource should be user-friendly for diverse families (ELL, single parents, grandparents raising grandchildren, etc.).
Reflection:
Explain why the development of empathy and sympathy are essential to fostering strong peer relations among preschoolers.
Discuss how you will use information shared with you by families (i.e., historical, biological, environmental, societal, familial, and cultural influences) to support their preschooler’s development.
Describe how you will differentiate instruction to support the unique needs of preschoolers across all developmental domains.
