    This semester, I enrolled in Early Childhood Education 350 (ECE) at Consumes River College, which transfers over to Sacramento State as Child Development 35F. ECE 350 is a course that incorporates lecture and fielded experience at a school site. I was a student volunteer at John Reith Elementary school for an AM and PM kindergarten class.

    I struggled in Pre-K not because I was not engaged in the learning material but because of a language barrier. Spanish was spoken at home so I was not familiar with the English language. Therefore, I was considered an English language learner. However, I slowly started to understand simple principles such as the alphabet. This was a milestone because I would then be able to differentiate between the letters and sounds.…

    School counselors have an ethical responsibility to ensure that selection, administration, and interpretation of assessment measures are within the scope of their practice and that they are competent and trained (American School Counselor Association [ASCA], 2010).

After you have read Arbisi and Farmer's reviews of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), compare each author's evaluation of assessment applicability to specific populations.

    CBMs are assessments that monitor progress on curricular content, as has been stated previously in this paper. CBMs can be used for reading, mathematics, writing with expression and spelling (Patton, Reschly and Appleton, 2014, p.284). To get a better understanding of how exactly this assessment will be used in a classroom an example of a reading CBM being administered, scored and used to making teaching decisions will be discussed below. This process starts by having the teacher create, reading probes that are at an appropriate level for the student they are assessing. Teachers can create this reading probes from a multitude of resources for free, such as EasyCBM, AIMSweb, DIBELS and DIBELS NEXT (Patton, Reschly, Appleton, 2014, p.285).…

    In the Pre-K classroom that I observed it consisted of several different centers for the children to participate in, such as: block area, dramatic play, art, library, sand/water table, music/movement, sensory area, finger painting, play dough, and the students got the opportunity to make their own snacks. Not only did the students get to participate in centers, they had the opportunity each day to go outside and play on the playground as well as having an interactive lecture every morning at circle time and when the students sat down at their tables to do their daily worksheet. I believe that the Pre-K class I observed was a mix between traditional teaching as well as constructivism, creating a balance between the two. In the morning during circle time, the teacher would “lecture” the students with the letter of the day, go over the date, months, days of the week, shapes, and the numbers up to the date it currently was.…
