SPECIAL BEHAVIOR TOPIC ASSIGNMENT (50 points) –Newsletter Article
NAEYC Standards for Early Childhood Professional Preparation:
1b. Knowing and understanding the multiple influences on early development and learning
For this assignment, you will choose a topic from the ones provided in class. (Make sure you print your name by your chosen topic.) If you have an alternate special behavior topic that interests you, please speak with your instructor. Explore at least three resources in relation to your selected topic – focus on information for young children (birth- age eight years) Examples of resources include journal articles (e.g. Young Children, Dimensions of Early Childhood, ACEI Childhood Education), books, videos and agencies or reputable websites. When using the Internet, look for information in .org, .gov. or .edu files. Avoid .com sources (unless it is a reputable organization like the Mayo Clinic) because they are not always reliable.
Create a newsletter intended for parents and/or teachers to share information about your topic. You will also share the information with some of your classmates.
The newsletter article must be professional looking. All information should be typed and pictures should be included. Use color and other methods to make your article attractive and creative. Bring copies of the article (enough for everyone in your group).
