American College Students Social and Emotional Development Curriculum Activity: Social and Emotional Development

Students develop three developmentally appropriate lesson plans for the social and emotional development of an infant, toddler, and preschooler.

Course Objectives

? Develop a working knowledge of cognitive, language, physical, motor, moral, social, and emotional development in early childhood.

? Explain the impact of parent and caregiver practices on cognitive, language, physical, motor, moral, social, and emotional development in early childhood.

? Describe the structure of temperament, levels of attachment, and accompanying behaviors.

? Relate developmentally appropriate and quality, child-centered education practices in nurturing cognitive, language, physical, motor, moral, social, and emotional development in early childhood.

Directions:

1) Save and print the Module 2 Application PDF.

2) Create a lesson plan template of your choice in a Word or text document for your response. Use 12-point Arial or Times New Roman font.

3) Use APA (6th edition) format for the title page, references page, and in-text citations.

4) Develop an introduction explaining the context of your lesson plans and a conclusion summarizing anticipated outcomes for each age level.

5) Follow the directions to submit your final Word or text document.

Design an individualized, responsive, developmentally appropriate lesson plan for the social and emotional development of an infant, a toddler, and a preschooler in a template of your choice.

A good place to start is to expand the information provided on developmental charts. For instance, when it says provide interesting toys and materials for

babies to handle and explore, be specific as to what specific toys and materials

you would use and how you would use them to build social and emotional skills.

Choose a title, and designate the age level for each group of activities.

You must have at least 2 activities for the domain at each age level.

? What am I doing (the child)?

? How am I feeling?

? What am I learning?

For you:

? What will I do to support the child’s development and learning?

? What are responsive interactions?

Plans to consider:

? Songs, finger plays, music

? Stories, books

? Environment, toys, materials, opportunities

? Experiences with families

? Special experiences

Be creative in your activities, and be sure to properly document any sources you use.
