Given the rising costs of education, what would you propose to a board of directors in terms of lowering overall costs of education and making higher education more available to all strata of society? How would your proposal differ for a state- funded versus a tuition-based university? What strategies would you suggest to the board in terms of convincing legislators that they should be providing more, not less, revenue for higher education within the state? When responding to peers, think of what feedback or critique you would provide if you were a member of the board of directors.

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.
The completed assignment should address all of the assignment requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the content presented in the course. The writing should integrate scholarly resources, reflect academic expectations and current APA standards, and adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

Homework Content
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
Encouraging students’ self-awareness, self-advocacy, and self-determination
Supporting exceptional learners in a diverse classroom through engagement 
Using discipline procedures required by IDEA
Submit your assignment.
(I will be doing my interview and observation at Garrison Elementary School in Washington DC. I will be interviewing Ms.Latoya McQueen who is the early interventionist for the early childhood academy.)

Assessment Description

Homework Content
The parts of books are generally referred to as literary elements and include characters, setting, plot, theme, style, and organization. You will consistently refer to these elements while discussing literature with your students because they are included in all state’s reading standards for literature.
For this assignment, you will demonstrate your understanding of literary elements by creating a presentation in which you compare the literary elements of two versions of a fairy tale, each from different countries.
