Ashford 3: – Week 2 – Discussion 2

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

Growing and Learning

Watch the five-minute video, Growing and Learning in Preschool. This video illustrates essential features of a high-quality preschool program. Discuss the following questions: How can preschool curricula, based on solid research, build school- and life-related skills? Why are well-qualified teachers important? How is play integrated into learning? Your initial discussion post should be at least 200 words in length.

Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your classmates and provide recommendations to extend their thinking. Identify at least one aspect of the video not discussed in their responses that you think should be included. Share some ideas for how they could incorporate this aspect in their classroom.
