Final Exam 1. Describe intentional teaching as it relates to the early childhood classroom. What does this look like on a day-to-day basis? What are the tenets of best practice in an intentional classroom? Intentional teaching is acting with a goal in mind for children’s development and having a plan to accomplish it (Epstein, 2014). The intentional teacher has clearly defined objectives and instructional strategies for the children to achieve the goals (Epstein, 2014). Best practices in…

curriculum should reflect the way children think and process information. Piaget’s theory that cognitive development occurs in four stages; sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational and formal operational are also essential to the Reggio Emilia Approach, where the learning process happens over time, developing and growing with each stage of development. Malaguzzi drew from Vygotsky’s idea that there is a zone of proximal development that children best learn when being intentionally…

should be included as each child has different interests and needs at different times or can be similar at the same time. Reggio-inspired schools and preschools use an adaptation of the technique relating to their needs of the community. The Reggio Approach is within preschools and early childhood settings but with an understanding…

In a 2011 study titled “The Health Action Process Approach as a Motivational Model for Physical Activity Self-Management for People With Multiple Sclerosis” by Chung-Yi Chui, et al (2011) HAPA was tested as a motivational model for physical activity self-management for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). There were 195 participants who were found through a university teaching hospital in the Midwest, and through the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. There were several instruments used in…

The foundational structure of Americans lies in the education system. By law, each citizen must be enrolled in a state-approved educational system- private, public, home- by time they reach a certain age. It is through the schooling system that children being interacting with their peers and learning about the way that the world works, but this system is flawed. The Declaration of Independence asserts that all men [sic] are created equal; however, this promised ideal has failed. All people are…

Policy makers opposing the capabilities approach would argue that reviewing the capability approach as a canopy of normative theories opens up space for more protective accounts of policy making that defend a mix of freedoms and the achievements, which Nussbaum’s version clearly rejects. She doesn’t sufficiently offer adequate reason behind her theories and her theory of social justice is proposed weakly. But what Nussbaum does add in from Capabilities and Social Justice is, “My aim in this…

relying on both the firm’s capabilities and resources. 1) Position of the article in the strategy debate Richard Lynch (2006) defines corporate strategy as the focus on the ‘organisation’s basic direction for the future: its’ purpose, ambitions, resources and how it interacts with the world in which it operates. The article’s position in the wider strategical discussion is in the firm’s strategy to obtain and sustain competitive…

To her, compassion and humanity are not enough. She also seeks justice and she tries to argue this point in the development of her capabilities approach. To examine justice, what it means and to understand how Nussbaum’s list of capabilities addresses the case of justice for nonhuman animals, I would like first examine compassion and humanity. Even John Rawls agrees that “we have direct moral duties to animals, which he calls ‘duties…

justice differ immensely. In this paper, I will demonstrate the flaws and strong points of their approaches to social justice and determine which is more persuasive. More specifically, I will analyze Rawls’s social contract type approach to Nussbaum’s proposed “Capabilities Approach” and directly apply them to the issue of people with disabilities. Lastly, I intend to present a personal opinion on these two theories of social justice based on my ethical framework. John Rawls theory of social…
