Artifact # 4
Developmental Case Study: an on-line resource for teachers that describes characteristics of children grades K-6.
Context
This resource was composed in my curriculum
and instruction class during my instructional block at Appalachian State
University.
Impact
This resource is available on the web
to provide information for teachers and parents. As a web page this
resource will be easy for parents and teachers to access for grades K-6.
Teachers will be able to use the web page to find out intellectual, physical,
and social/emotional characteristics of different grade level children.
The information provided will be able to help teachers understand their
children and provide adequate care and instructional activities.
Alignment
The Developmental Case Study is a great example
of how I understand how children learn and develop through their elementary
school years. It provides information so that as a teacher I will be able
to plan instructional time to support a child’s intellectual, social, and
personal development. (INTASK 2)
This resource will be able to be utilized in a school setting for other
teachers, personal and students in the school. Children will be able to
use this resource to find out information about their siblings or relatives.
This site can help students understand the phases and the differences between
different grade levels and other kids. (Tech
Comp. 12.1) The developmental case study effectively and appropriately
communicates information on students to colleagues and parents by allowing
the information to be a web-page format. (Tech
Comp.12.3) This web page can also be used as a way of informal assessment
on children. The developmental study could be used to informally assess
whethere a child is following the basic characteristics of that grade level.
The web page also includes teacher tips for planning lessons and a good
classroom environment tips that could be used to help a child. (INTASK
