“Applying Theories to Early Childhood Curriculum and Leadership: A Guide for Center Administrators” Slide 1: Title Slide Title: Applying Theories to Early Childhood Curriculum and Leadership: A Guide for Center Administrators Slide 2: Introduction
Instructions
An early childhood program is influenced by the theory on which it is founded. Theories of childhood are based on what a child is, the nature of childhood, childhood’s function or purpose, and how the ideas of a child are used in society. Programs may follow a specific developmental theory, such as Montessori, or offer specific services for a center’s children.
For this assignment, reflect on what you learned this week. Create a presentation for new center administrators that will be presented by an administrator at a professional development seminar on the importance of applying and connecting educational theories to their early childhood center’s curriculum. Use a minimum of two theories for this assignment.
Select from the following list of theories:
Erikson’s Psychosocial Developmental Theory
Bowlby’s Attachment Theory
Freud’s Psychosexual Developmental Theory
Bandura’s Social Learning Theory
Piaget’s Cognitive Developmental Theory
Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory
Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory
Maslow’s Self-actualization Theory
Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory
Be sure your presentation addresses the following:
Describe the theories.
Explain how the theories connect to the curriculum.
Demonstrate how the theories connect to leadership in early childhood programs.
Examine what aspects of the theories are most important for administrators to understand.
Illustrate why the aspects are important.
Add a graphic, table, or figure on each slide, except for the references slide. Be sure to cite the source of all graphics or photos; check out sites like Creative Commons, Pixabay, and Pexels for photos you can share without violating copyright restrictions.
Length: 10 slides, not including the title and reference slides. Speaker Notes Length: 200-350 words per slide
References: Include a minimum of five (5) scholarly references that are seminal references, secondary references, or references published within the last five (5) years.

Professional development participation is a requirement of all teachers. It allows teachers to become more effective in many ways. One way to develop professionally is to ask questions of other practitioners in the field. For this assignment, you will first interview and then observe a special education teacher. The focus of this field experience is on how to create an inclusive, safe, and supportive classroom environment that promotes growth and learning for all students.
Interview your selected special education teacher using the Interview and Observation Guide to facilitate the interview and record responses. After the interview, you will remain in the classroom and observe the teacher while taking notes in the guide.
Once you have completed the interview and observation, write a minimum 525-word reflection of your important take-aways from this experience related to the following:
Creating a classroom that is inclusive, supportive, and emotionally safe
