SS3 Written and Verbal Communication: <\/i>Well-prepared associate degree graduates have strong skills in written and verbal communication.\u00a0 <\/span>Students are technologically literate.<\/p>\n Required Component <\/b><\/p>\n This assignment (key assessment) is required for completion of this course.\u00a0 <\/span>If this assignment is not completed with 70% of possible points, (at least 210 points of the 300 possible on each case study<\/span>), you will not receive a passing grade in this class.\u00a0 <\/span>If you do not earn at least 210 points, you will be allowed one revision on each case study (revision= maximum grade of 210 points).\u00a0 <\/span>See syllabus for more details.\u00a0 <\/span>For each Case Study, Turnitin may be used at the professor’s discretion.<\/p>\n Case Study Description <\/b><\/p>\n The purpose of this case study is to observe and write a detailed description of a child as viewed by you, the writer, with respect to the developmental domains specified below.\u00a0 <\/span>You will select and report on a child in each of the four case studies: 1.) infant or toddler (ages 0-2), 2.)\u00a0 <\/span>Preschool (ages 3-5), 3.)\u00a0 <\/span>Middle childhood (ages 6-11), and 4.)\u00a0 <\/span>Adolescence (ages 12-18).\u00a0 <\/span>Be sure to report the child\u2019s current<\/span> level in each domain.\u00a0 <\/span>You may choose any child EXCEPT your own, for example, extended family members, neighbors, or friends.\u00a0 <\/span>If you have any questions or concerns regarding selection of children, contact your professor.<\/p>\n Your report should be written in formal academic language.\u00a0 <\/span>Your report should be an objective<\/b> evaluation using information gathered from direct observation.\u00a0 <\/span>You may supplement this information with facts provided by the family or <\/i>caregiver.\u00a0 <\/span>Examples of objective reporting are:\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cThe mother reports Jason feels more secure when he sleeps with his teddy bear,\u201d or \u201cThe caregiver stated that Gina shares her crayons at the art table with any child who needs crayons.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>The case study should NOT include subjective (opinion) statements such as:\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cJason seems like a secure child,\u201d or \u201cGina is the nicest girl in the room.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Be as thorough as possible with the data available to you.\u00a0 <\/span>Include as much factual data as you can to “paint” a comprehensive picture of the child<\/p>\n You will be required to have at least one parent sign the Case Study Consent form for each report.\u00a0 <\/span>Your report will NOT be graded without this form.\u00a0 <\/span>If you have requested an alternative Case Study (Case Study 4 ONLY) from your instructor, this will not be necessary.<\/p>\n Case Study Outline<\/b><\/p>\n Use the following headings, prompts, and rubric to guide you as you write each section of the case study.\u00a0 <\/span>Type the headings for each section.\u00a0 <\/span>Provide plenty of descriptions and details.\u00a0 <\/span>Use only the summary section to include any relevant personal interpretations, opinions, or conclusions.\u00a0 <\/span>Case study requirements include college level writing (approximately 1000 words, double-spaced).\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n Use the following format for each of the four case studies: <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Introduction<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Include the following descriptors<\/b><\/span>:<\/p>\n Give the child’s name<\/b><\/span>, age<\/b><\/span>, family make up<\/b><\/span>, and a brief description of physical appearance<\/b><\/span>.<\/p>\n Describe the child’s environment<\/b><\/span> at home, childcare and\/or school.<\/p>\n Describe characteristics that identify the socioeconomic status<\/b><\/span> of the child\u2019s family.\u00a0 <\/span>Instead of reporting income, report items such as parents\u2019 education level, housing and neighborhood, current job, etc.\u00a0 <\/span>Please do <\/span>not<\/span> ask the family any personal income questions!<\/span><\/p>\n Tell why you have chosen this child<\/b><\/span>.<\/p>\n Physical Development<\/b><\/span> NAEYC STANDARD 1a<\/b><\/p>\n Specifically describe the current<\/span> child\u2019s small (fine) skills, with examples from direct observation.<\/p>\n Specifically describe the child\u2019s current<\/span> large (gross) motor skills, with examples from direct observation.<\/p>\n Give any background about the child’s health, nutrition, and rest habits.<\/p>\n *<\/span>Compare the child to the norms for children this age, using in-text citations. <\/span><\/p>\n Cognitive Development<\/b><\/span> NAEYC STANDARD 1a<\/b><\/p>\n Describe evidence of learning from your observations and other sources, parents, teachers, grades, etc.<\/p>\n Identify specific areas of strength and areas that need improvement (memory, attention, etc.)<\/p>\n Give examples of the child’s language development.\u00a0 <\/span>What evidence do you see that indicates the child understands spoken language?\u00a0 <\/span>How does she express herself?\u00a0 <\/span>As applicable, discuss the child\u2019s literacy skills (reading, composition, math, technology).<\/p>\n *<\/span>Compare the child to the norms for children this age, using in-text citations.<\/span><\/p>\n Social and Emotional Development<\/b><\/span> NAEYC STANDARD 1a<\/b><\/p>\n Describe the child\u2019s social interactions with other children, family, relatives, siblings, classmates, etc. (sharing, solving problems, playing and working cooperatively).<\/p>\n What evidence do you see that would indicate a positive or negative self-esteem?\u00a0 <\/span>Include observations and examples that might indicate whether the child is generally happy or unhappy, secure or insecure, stressed or relaxed.<\/p>\n What signs do you see that would indicate appropriate or poor emotional adjustment?<\/p>\n As applicable, find out how the child describes him or herself (self-concept).<\/p>\n *<\/span>Compare the child to the norms for children this age, using in-text citations.<\/span><\/p>\n Family and Home Factors <\/b><\/span>NAEYC STANDARD 1b<\/b><\/p>\n Describe family conditions that may affect the child\u2019s development.<\/p>\n Identify the size of the family, what family members are present in the home, the marital status of parents or guardians, etc.<\/p>\n Information may be obtained from the caregiver and\/or parent.<\/p>\n Based on the research presented in your textbook, describe how each factor may influence the child\u2019s development and learning.<\/p>\n *Include in-text citations to support your descriptions.\u00a0 <\/span>Reminder: no opinions are allowed in this section of the paper.<\/p>\n Summary <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n The summary should include <\/span>two parts (two different paragraphs)<\/b><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Part I:<\/b> On the basis of facts and your observations, summarize the most important factors influencing the child and his\/her behavior?\u00a0 <\/span>You may offer your interpretations, opinions, and conclusions in this section of the paper.\u00a0 <\/span>You should include at least 5 factors.<\/p>\n Part II<\/b>: NAEYC STANDARD 1c <\/b>In the second part of the summary, use your knowledge of child development to describe an ideal learning environment<\/b> for this child (home and\/or school).\u00a0 <\/span>If you believe the child is already in an ideal learning environment, describe this environment.\u00a0 <\/span>Include at least one idea for each of the following: healthy, respectful, supportive, and challenging learning environment.\u00a0 <\/span>Paint a picture of this environment<\/span> with your narrative.<\/p>\n NOTE:\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>You must include direct quotes<\/span> for your in-text citations from the Manis (2017) text<\/span> to support your observations in each section: Physical Development, Cognitive Development, Social and Emotional Development, and Family or Home Factors.\u00a0 <\/span>Be sure your in-text citations clearly relate<\/span> to your observations and explain how<\/i> they are related.\u00a0 <\/span>Use brief quotes from the text, with appropriate in-text citations.\u00a0 <\/span>Consult APA resources for correct formatting of in-text citations.\u00a0 <\/span>You are also required to have a references page<\/b> (APA format) at the end of the case study.<\/p>\n Example of a case study in-text citation, using the e text and the paragraph you found the quote: <\/b><\/p>\n After reviewing worksheets and homework that Alex completed in pre-k, it is evident that his handwriting has become more legible.\u00a0 <\/span>His ability to print the alphabet, write his first and last name, and copy a square, triangle, and circle, demonstrate that he is on track compared to other children his age.\u00a0 <\/span>This coincides with information found in the chapter on preschool fine motor development, \u201cAs children develop physical coordination, their drawings become more precise and detailed\u201d (Manis, 2017, \u201cDrawing Pictures,\u201d para. 2).\u00a0 <\/span>**If you used the actual text, it would be the page number instead of the title and paragraph number (Manis, 2017, p. 45).<\/span><\/p>\n OR<\/b>, if you chose to use a secondary source (the authors cited within Manis) you would need to quote it this way (this is NOT the preferred way):<\/p>\n During the home visit, Jose was observed writing at the kitchen table, using a tripod grip, mentioned in the text.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cGabbard\u00a0 <\/span>(2008) explained \u201cAlthough the rate of improvement depends greatly on practice, by about age 6 they progress to what is called a tripod grip <\/i>and hold the pencil or crayon with their thumb, index and middle finger closer to the tip than the end\u201d (as cited in Manis, 2017, \u201cFine Motor Skills\u201d, para.\u00a0 <\/span>2).<\/p>\n APA Guidelines to Follow<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n The following APA Guidelines are required for TECA 1354 and are included on the grading rubric for the Case Study.\u00a0 <\/span>This
