8 The foundation Quality Early Childhood Program
9 1. Do children spend most of their time playing and working with materials or with other children? 2. Do children have access to various activities throughout the day? 3. Do teachers work with individual children, small groups, and the whole group at different times during the day? 4. Is the classroom decorated with children s original artwork, their own writing, and stories they ve dictated?
10 5. Do children learn within meaningful (i.e., relevant to their interests and experiences) contexts? 6. Do children work on projects and have extended periods of time to play and explore? 7. Do children have an opportunity to play outside everyday? 8. Do teachers read books to children individually or in small groups throughout the day? 9. Is the curriculum adapted for those who are ahead as well as those who need additional help? 10. Do the children and their families feel safe and secure within their early childhood program?

Once you identify the problem, collecting information is the next step for instructional planning for children in inclusive settings. Child: Jessie Teacher: Gail Date: 10/20 Activity Define Concern What are you currently doing? Ideas for Assistance/Instruction Circle time Jessie hesitates going and often will get up and leave. Repeated telling him to come. Leading him back to group. Modifications: ELO: CFIS: Describe: Let hold a train toy. Start circle with a train song. Free choice Plays for a long time with trains but refuses to try anything else. Asked to make a choice about where he wants to play. Always chooses the train table. When asked to make a new choice, he often throws a tantrum. Teachers let him stay. Modifications: ELO: CFIS: Describe: Use a picture schedule. He will go to 3 areas with adult support and the train table will be his last area. Small Group Jessie grabs materials from children who are next to him and needs a great deal of adult attention in order to stay engaged with the activity. Jessie has an assigned seat at small group, and a teacher always sits next to him. When materials are put on the table, he often grabs the most preferred ones and won t share. Then a teacher intervenes. Modifications: ELO: CFIS: Describe: Use tray for his materials. Praise often. When done with assigned project use a finished box. Transitions Tantrums, Give choices, use momentum toward door, physical prompts, blocking Modifications: ELO: CFIS: Describe: visual cue card for next activity

69 Embedded Learning Opportunities/CFIS
70 ELO/CFIS ELO contains five essential elements 1. Creating a Learning Opportunity 2. Child-Focused Instructional Strategy 3. Prompting Strategies 4. Reinforcing Consequences 5. Evaluation
71 Creating Learning Opportunities Access: Access is the technique of creating teaching opportunities by making it difficult for a child to get desired objects or to go somewhere she wants to be. Access video clip
72 Child Focused Instructional Strategies Choice making Mand-model Expectant look Incidental teaching Peer-mediated Transition-based Discrete trial
73 Discrete Trial Instruction Prompt if necessary Child s response Consequences Inter-trial interval Discrete Trail clip
74 Prompting Strategies Physical Verbal Gesture Model Expectant Look
75 Prompting Strategies Expectant Look(E): The adult looks at what the child is looking at or at the task the child should perform and then looks at the child as if to say What do you need to do? Or What do you want? (expectant look video)
76 Prompting Hierarchies Most-to-Least: A most-to-least strategy is a series of two or more forms or levels of help, arranged to provide progressively decreasing amounts of assistance. The sequence begins with the most help a child needs to say or do something with out error. Over time, as he learns the task, the amount of help he is given decreases until the adult ceases help altogether.
77 Prompting Hierarchies Least-to-Most: A series of two or more forms or levels of help arranged to provide progressively increasing amounts of assistance. The sequence begins with an opportunity for the child to respond to a natural cue. If she does not respond correctly, she is given less help than she may need to challenge her to complete the task independently. Increasing amounts of help are given, if needed, until she is able to complete the task correctly.
78 Adult Response Got it Didn t get it, try again
79 Adult Response: Got it Reinforcers must be delivered immediately after a correct response Reinforcers must be contingent Vary reinforcers Individualize reinforcers ALWAYS pair social praise with any tangible reward (praise first)
80 Adult Response: Didn t Get it, Try Again Say or model the expected response (the answer) and give the child another try (help as needed) Teacher: Put your bowl in the dish bin. Child: Puts bowl on counter. Teacher: Watch me, here is the dish bin. Try again, put your bowl in the dish bin. Child: Picks up bowl. Teacher: Points to the dish bin. Child: Puts bowl in the dish bin. Teacher: Thanks for cleaning up! Now you can go play. (error correction video)
