Assignments:

Target Child:

You will locate a pre-school, public or private childcare facility with an academic focus, public school, or private school that has an inclusive classroom (includes children with and without disabilities). You will choose a child to observe in the classroom (a child with a disability). The assignment requires you to observe your Target Child several times. You must speak with the teacher/administrator to obtain permission to observe your TC. You will visit your child and write a 1-2 paragraph reflection on the visit as well as complete the weekly requirements of the TC assignment included in the assignment section. Your final TC assignment is the Target Child Analysis. You will summarize your observations and experiences with your TC in a paper. You will need to relate your experiences with your TC to the text readings, power points, and articles, therefore your paper will include citations when referencing the class materials. You will need to use APA style when writing your paper. You will submit each TC assignment in the assignment section under the designated title. There are ten TC assignments including the analysis. Each TC assignment is due at the end of the week in which it is assigned.

Resource File:

You will read four peer-reviewed journal articles that suggest research-based strategies for your exceptionality choice. The topics will be communication/language, social- emotional development, motor skills, and emergent literacy skills. You will read the articles and write an article review. The format you will use is added as an attachment in the assignment section under Resource File.

Exceptionality Paper:

You will choose an exceptionality/disability and describe the exceptionality including the cause, if known, the history, medical, cognitive, physical, and or communicative effects/characteristics the exceptionality is associated with. You will use your journal articles to discuss research-based strategies that can be used with a child with the exceptionality you chose. The paper will be in APA style with citations from the articles, the text, and any other credible sources you use in your research.

IEP Form and Role Play:

You will work in groups of four to six: choose a case study and create an IEP for the child (submit IEP Form under the IEP assignment). You will also create a script for an IEP meeting role play to present in class (you do not need to upload the script). The IEP form is attached to the assignment. The IEP Case Studies are attached to the assignment as well. You will choose the case study groups in class.
