  2. What I hope you get out of today We all get to know each other Learn to complete guided notes Describe the course responsibilities Describe why the course responsibilities and content are important State your own view of why you should value this course, if at all

  3. Who are you? • Did I say your name correctly? • Do you have a nickname?

  4. Guided notes? Why and how? • Guided notes: A support for note-taking • How does it work: • I will provide an outline and delete key facts and elements • It is your responsibility to fill in the outline • If there is more space, write more • If there is less space, write less • What are symbols? • Pencil symbol – big idea, overarching concept to remember • * - a cue to fill in information • Key vocabulary is bolded • A finger symbol means that you should explore this concept more in-depth on your own

  5. So, what’s this course all about? • Overarching Goal: • Study in-depth the post-toddler period to the age of 10 • By whose standards? • NAEYC • CEC • Units of study: • Background information and theory • Studying Child Development • Factors that Influence Child Development • Early Childhood Development (3-5) • Middle Childhood Development (5-10) • Common Disabilities and Intervention

  6. Textbook? Do I need it? • Yes. • Berk, L. E. (2008). Infants and children: Prenatal through middle childhood. 6th Edition. Boston: Allyn and Bacon.

  7. When is the instructor available? • You are encouraged to talk with other students to resolve questions or concerns except in cases where this might result in academic dishonesty • The instructor is available by appointment for questions and concerns. You can also stop by anytime – 114 Alison West • Emails will be returned within 48 hours during the week. • There is no guarantee that emails will be returned promptly between 5:00 pm Friday-9:00 am Monday and during breaks

  8. Do I HAVE to show up for class? What is expected of me when I’m here? What if I’m absent? • In a word – yes. • 72 points of your grade are based upon attendance and participation • Complete assignments, take notes, and PLAY! • Class structure • 10:10 – 10:20 – General Housekeeping and Announcements • 10:20 – 10:55 – Lecture or Play • 10:55 – 11:00 – Finish index card assignment • Index card assignment • Place index cards in the “in” slot. They will be returned in alphabetical order under the first letter of your last name • Absent? Fill out absentee form online on SAKAI (will review how to do this next class) • No cell phones, no texting, no computers!

  9. So I fudged it a little…. • Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. This means YOU! • Incomplete summaries of assignments • Made up data • Plagiarism • Purchased papers • Not pulling your weight on group assignments • Yes, I know. And yes, I do refer to Judicial Affairs.

  10. Hey, thanks for being so upbeat. So what else are we doing for this course? • Quizzes (120 points) – 5 tries to pass each quiz • Group project and poster session (120 points) • Lab Preschool observation Assignment (160 points) • Operational Definition and Data Collection (30 points, revisable) • Observation and Summary (130 points) Your group project and lab preschool assignment must have a completed rubric attached – SELF EVALUATION Fridays are play Fridays!

  11. How will I be graded for this course? • All assignments have a point value. • To determine your grade: Divide the total number of points you earned by the total possible points you can earn. • Ex: so far, you’ve done two quizzes and gotten 18/20 on both. Your attendance at about 45/48. Right now, you’ve earned 63/68 points. • I round up grades at .5% • No, you can’t get extra credit.

  12. What supports are available to me if I’m struggling or have a disability? If you’re struggling: Other On-Campus Resources: • Office of Disability Support Services • Academic Enrichment Center • University Writing Center • Student Services • Sakai tutorials • Student Multimedia Design Center • Office of Judicial Affairs • UD Library Databases • RefWorks
