Assignment:
For this assignment, you will be placed (virtually) in a real-world scenario that occurs in schools. Please read the following description of the authentic performance task and complete the requirements as described in the scenario.
SCENARIO
"Imagine you are an expert in early childhood and you will design a training presentation that you will use to train new parents on understanding how the child develops. Outline this training in writing and develop three key ideas of support for each part of the program to include:
• Define and describe characteristics of developmentally appropriate practice
• Introduce at least 3 different perspectives on development (theories such as Maslow, Vygotsky, etc.)
• Review characteristics of children at different ages and stages of development.
Your plan should be realistic, coherent, and precise, and should address all three required components in a research-based manner using text support and outside research to create a comprehensive informational presentation focused on how the child develops."
The program description should be 1300-1500 words and should include at least four (4) citations. The sections should be clearly marked with headings so that your instructor knows which points you are addressing. Follow the guidelines for APA writing style. The title page and references page do not count towards the minimum word amount for this assignment.
