There were three interviews that took place. One of them came from a director Jenny St. Jean of Peace Methodist Preschool she has been a director for the last six years and prior to that, she taught preschool for three years. Another person that was interviewed is Jennifer Thompson a CRT from Renaissance Charter School. She had been a CRT for the last three years; prior to that, she was a preschool and elementary school teacher. The last interview came from a preschool teacher Jamie from the Peace Methodist School. This is her first year teaching, but prior to that, she was an assistant teacher for eight years.
Children face so many different issues now days. Some come from either a family from divorce parents, have been or are abuse,

Mrs. St. Jean responded, “The teachers try their best to make sure those students who don’t speak English feel included in the classroom.”” Sometimes, it helps to relay information through a parent who does speak English, so they can help their child.” “The teachers also alter the lesson in a way that is best for a child with special needs. They try to be as accommodating as possible for that child. We also refer them to the Early Intervention screening available in their county, in order to see if they might be eligible to receive services to help them. Many parents are unaware of the services available.”
What implications these barriers or supports have for early childhood trends? Mrs. St. Jean was not sure how to answer the question, so her response was: “We have kept our program focused on learning the basics needed to be successful in kindergarten. Those basics really don’t change.” “We try to assist students who have special needs or are English language learners, as we would assist t all students to
One of the biggest errors made in schooling today is placing a student who is an English Language Learner into special education because of errors made in interpreting language acquisition as a learning or language disability. There has been no single method that has proven to be fully effective when distinguishing between English language learning students and students with a learning disability. As a result, students can end up in classrooms or programs that are not suited for their needs and can hinder their educational achievement. It is important for teachers and schools to understand the process of acquiring a second language and to be able to recognize whether the student is really receiving an adequate opportunity to learn.
Although no one is perfect, it is important that parents put their children into consideration when acting upon certain situations. Children are the future of America and every child deserves to have all the tools necessary to succeed in life. In some cases, the physical effects are temporary; however, the pain and suffering can cause long term effects such as anxiety and depression as their brain matures. All forms of abuse take effect on a child’s outlook on life and are equally damaging. Children have the ability to become an extraordinary individual who can one day change the world.
In the early years, collaboration between all members of the education team should be involved (Rosas, Winterman, Droeger & Jones, 2009, p. 48). The educational team consists of professionals working respectfully with family members to help them achieve their goals for their child (Wong, 2016, p. 198). A respectful discussion would occur with the parents about the direction they would like to take. Informing the parents of the observations made during school hours and then provide recommendations of support services to help Zac develop his language skills. For Zac’s particular case, the teacher would recommend visiting a doctor to discuss his language development, they can then provide a referral to a speech pathologist and to get a hearing
The first person I interviewed was Celeste Lashmett. Celeste was my high school track coach and had recently became a new parent in the last two years. AJ is two years and four months old right now. Celeste is currently living in Winchester Illinois with her husband Tim. Tim and Celeste have been married for the last five years. With AJ only being a little over two years old I would still consider them to be new parents. Tim works at Lincoln Land FS in Winchester and Celeste is the high school guidance counselor and also the high school track coach. The interview was done at the high school in Celeste’s office and Tim was not present.
The special education teacher interviewed, talked about this goal to meet each child’s need is challenging to her especially in eleventh and twelfth grade. The teacher tries to strive towards their educational goals, their need areas, and work on their strengths.
There’s many reasons why a parent might abuse their child, whether it’s because of a substance abuse or just their way of correcting their children . Children will not understand that not everyone will treat them the way that their abuse parents treated them.
Within the past ten years, the number of English Language Learners (ELLs) has doubled. An increase of more than 2 million ELL students in the U.S schools, left professionals within the field of education with no choice but to face the challenge of understanding cultural differences. In addition to this, educators must understand how these differences affect students’ language development, learning style, academic achievement and most importantly, his or her performance on standardized tests. These differences must be understood, valued and respected by all service providers, especially those who are involved in the decision making process concerning the placement of students in special educational programs. (Roseberry-McKibbin, 2014).
Every year, 1 in 10 children will suffer child abuse and in the United States each year there are over 2.9 million reports of child abuse. Every year, children are being disciplined and as a result, there is more abuse. Different races and ages think discipline and abuse is good for the children, but the majority of the time, child abuse and discipline all begins with stress and alcohol.
I had the opportunity to interview Catherine Wilson, a Head Start teacher at Sault Tribe Early Childhood Programs, and Tammy Pinkoski who works as a
To begin with, even though these children expelotsiof lot of hardship, in their childhood, it can broaden their horizons, grant them with a grateful heart and most of all bring a family closer together. A situation like this can build up a child to be tolerant, compassionate and a mature role model for other children. However, in some cases, these positive traits can be
In the United States, approximately 78 % of the allegations reported to child protection involve neglect; as compared with 18 % for physical abuse, 10 % for sexual abuse and 8 % for psychological/emotional maltreatment (Ryan, Joseph P) These high rates of abuse and neglect are often the beginning reasons why individuals at such a young age run into the issues they do in their growing up stages of life. Having such traumatic events happen to someone so young causes developmental problems. Behavior or injustices learned at such a young age are often reinitiated in the child’s behavior because it is all they know. When a child acts out in a negative or non-societal manner they then get punished or other punishments are handed down to them. Their behaviors and opinions merely mirror what they have been taught. They then began acting out because what they were taught to do, and how they were taught to act is getting them in more in trouble and it leads to continual behavior problems. I speak from first hand knowledge while working at the Humboldt County Juvenile Detention Facility for 6 months as a Correctional Officer and it became evident these kids didn’t know why they were in there and rather than rehabilitate they were punished and given no guidance. That in it self is neglect and abuse. The monitoring or supervising of a child is contributory to their advancement towards offending. (Ryan, Joseph P) As children grow older and as the time increment of
The importance of bringing a child into the world is to provide the child with a loving home and a loving family. Unfortunately, many children today are born to teenage parents, or parents struggling with their own personal life. The structure of the family children are born into can be a major factor influencing child abuse. Individuals deal with a large amount of stress on a daily basis which can alter how they respond to situations. Marital status, the support of the family, community, and financial problems can all add more stress to a person (Arbetter 23). Melissa L. Sturge-Apple, Michael A. Skibo, and Patrick T. Davies describe in “Impact of Parental Conflict and Emotional Abuse on Children and Families,” individuals who were dealing
Encouraging children to discuss abusive events and assure them it was not their fault can help them cope. It was not until months after I met my best friend that
When a child is abused, they almost instantly lose the dignity and respect that they are entitled to as a human being. Having to go to school or any public place for that matter, with marks and burses on their body is just demeaning and humiliating. Then there is the fact that discipline combined with not enough attention caused an increased amount of chance of behavioral problems. So in a way you are setting your child up to get in trouble at school or work. When parents do not know what to do they spend thousands of dollars to attend Tough Love Courses to try and fix a problem that does not exist in the first place. Having their child be put through something they will not understand because they are not bad kids. People waste all of that money to fix their child, when they could just be spending time with them instead and seeing that they are perfect just the way they are.
