Standard 5 Eced 260

This document reflects on an artifact that demonstrates competence in NAEYC Standard 5. The artifact is a lesson plan the author created for 3-year-olds on the topic of autumn. It included developmentally appropriate activities to promote learning in math, reading, writing, science and social studies. Through implementing the lesson, the author was able to assess which students needed extra help or enrichment. This shows the author's ability to design meaningful curriculum and evaluate children's progress, meeting the needs of each child.

Reflective Analysis of Portfolio Artifact

Rationale/Reflection
NAEYC Standard:
STANDARD 5 Using Content Knowledge to Build Meaningful Curriculum
Candidates prepared in early childhood degree programs use their knowledge of academic disciplines to
design, implement, and evaluate experiences that promote positive development and learning for each and
every young child. Candidates understand the importance of developmental domains and academic (or
content) disciplines in early childhood curriculum. They know the essential concepts, inquiry tools, and
structure of content areas, including academic subjects, and can identify resources to deepen their
understanding. Candidates use their own knowledge and other resources to design, implement, and evaluate
meaningful, challenging curriculum that promotes comprehensive developmental and learning outcomes for
every young child. (NAEYC, 2010)

Brief Description of Evidence:


It was required as part of my job to create a lesson plan that covered all academic aspects of learning. I
designed a lesson plan that was developmentally age appropriate for three year olds that highlighted the
significance of autumn. I provided children with fun activities, experiments, books, songs, fingerplays,
educational games, and art projects in order to help promote and enhance their development in math,
reading, writing, science, and social studies.

Analysis of What I Learned:


Through this artifact I was able to observe my students progress. After implementing the lessons I was able
to distinguish the children that needed the extra help and the ones that could use a little more of a challenge.

How This Artifact Demonstrates my Competence on the NAEYC Standard:


This artifact demonstrates that I am competent in my ability as a teacher to design a lesson plan that is
developmentally age appropriate, in addition to finding solutions that meet the needs of each child. My
competence in this standard is proven by my ability to evaluate students progress, as well as plan, and
implement meaningful curriculum that encourages children to expand on their creativity, critical thinking and
problem solving skills. I would relate this project to Vygotskys theory that emphasized that children should
have many opportunities and hands-on experiences for social interaction to develop intellectually.
