Learning And Development

            
             Learning and development of children needs to be met in many different ways. I saw this through observing and viewing the Seasons of Life Video's. In observing I saw that teachers have to be aware of each child's present level of functioning. This determined the manner in which they were taught and how praise or discipline was administered. Therefore, how a child learns and develops. In viewing the Season's of Life videos I saw that there are many cultural, gender, and social class issues in today's world. In the classroom, these things need to be addressed very carefully and tactfully. Children's diversities should be nurtured and embraced not criticized in order for the children to develop properly. .
             Through the years I have become increasingly aware that I learn best as a visual learner. This is shown in Artifact 1. Not everyone learns the same. Teachers have to develop many different teaching styles to accommodate each child. I saw this in an observation I did with a special education class. Each child took turns working on a number activity. Every time a new student came up the teacher explained the activity a different way. Because the teacher knew how these children learned, she was best able to show the children how to do the activity in their learning style. .
             In today's growing world, students and teachers need to have knowledge of computer and presentation skills. As anyone can already tell, I have computer skills. I think it is very important for schools to have students on computers a certain amount of time a week. Presentation skills are also something good for students to have. Many times in student's lives, they will be able to use presentation skill. Through an observation, I saw this being taught. The students each had to put together a science project and present it on a certain night. They also had to use the computer for doing some things for this project.
