Assignment:
You have obtained a position as a student teacher and have been given the opportunity to create a plan for a preschool. The lead teacher wants me to create a weeklong plan that, in accordance to this school, subscribes to the statements in the position statement of the National Association for the Education of Young Children. I need a weeklong plan that incorporates language arts and/or math in the 7 areas we call labs (art lab, dramatic play lab, science lab, etc.).
I have a wonderful group and I am trying to impress my co-teacher. We have a wonderful group of children that is diverse, including some children who have special needs because we have an inclusive program. There are 15 three and four year olds but she gave me charge over 7 and I need all the help I can get. The curriculum we use is HighScope. I have read on it but not practiced it. I am familiar with a research based practice called Curiosity. What is HighScope? Is its research based on what activities in the lab areas can be implemented into a weeklong curriculum plan?
