Middle Childhood Development By Angela Beyer
Class Make-Up: Community College Course Hybrid Course 4 class sessions to cover unit 85-125 students • 90% general education students • 10% education major students Classroom with tables • 6-8 students at each
Brain Target #1: Emotional Climate • Predictability • Daily warm up question (first 5 minutes) • Daily class outline sheet review • Questions, comments concerns from online content • Teacher – Student Connection • Personal check in during group work • Sharing of personal stories of my son in this age group • Online announcements and discussion follow-up • Content – Student Connection • Group story sharing • Picture Reel • Video session online • Humor • Stories and videos that connect the funny side of this particular age group • Music • Appropriate for this age • Student and Teacher selected
Novelty • Weekly bulletin board update • Change online entry photo w/ link weekly • Sensory • Music selection for group work • Order • Same daily routine • Easy to follow unit expectation list • Displays • Bulletin board display • By students and teacher • Section added weekly At the college level this particular target is a little difficult. I am in a large classroom filled with tables, though this is a great set up I am not the only professor that uses this classroom. Before any room changes can occur I must check with the few other professors to clear the changes. The nice thing is that only Early Childhood Education Professors use it – so putting things up is applicable to all. Brain Target #2Physical Environment
