Artifact # 8
Developmental Case Study: an online resource of children's physical, intellectual, social and emotional needs arranged by grade level and also contains teacher tips and resources for additional information.
Context
My Curriculum and Instruction class created the Developmental Case
Study web page during pre-service training at Appalachian State University,
Fall 2000.
Impact
This online resource contains a wealth of helpful information that
can be accessed quickly and easily by education professionals on the Internet.
This web page serves as a source of appropriate information and is well
organized.
Alignment
By being online, fellow teachers, parents and other colleagues
can access the information presented in the Developmental Case Study to
assist in providing appropriate educational opportunities for students
(Tech. Comp. 12.3). By using the
information contained in the Developmental Case Study to create meaningful
learning experiences, teachers are exhibiting an understanding of the tools
of inquiry and structures of disciplines that pertain to a specific grade
level (INTASC #1). In addition,
teachers will be better able to provide appropriate learning opportunities
that support students’ intellectual, social and personal development (INTASC
#2). By using the information contained in the Developmental
Study, teachers can more accurately assess their students learning.
Using accurate assessment, based on theses standards, insures that students
experience continuous intellectual, social and physical development as
learners (INTASC #8).
