Your Application Assignment is divided into three parts:<br /> <br /> Part 1: Introduction: Quality and Effectiveness<br /> <br /> Explain what the paper is about as a whole<br /> Include a
definition of quality/effectiveness and its impact on programs and practices. Base your thinking on what you learned during Week 1 of this course as well as subsequent readings and experience<br />
Explain your definition of quality/effectiveness as it relates to early childhood programs and practices<br /> <br /> Part 2: Quality and Effectiveness in Early Childhood Education Classroom
Settings<br /> <br /> Write a summary, based not only on what you observed in early childhood settings and learned in your interviews but also on the readings and videos that represent current
evidence-based thinking with regard to the three factors covered in this course that effect quality/effectiveness in early childhood education programs:<br /> <br /> Building relationships and
partnering with families<br /> Child-centered curriculum and the integral role of play and discovery in healthy development and learning<br /> Culturally responsive and individually appropriate
practice<br /> <br /> Include specific examples of the ways in which each of these three factors apply to each of the early childhood levels of development: infants/toddlers, preschoolers, and
primary-age children. You may use information gleaned from the Learning Resources in the course as well as resources you find on your own.<br /> <br /> Note: For this section, you are required to
cite at least six examples from your school observations and interviews (two related to each factor) to substantiate points you are making in your paper. You must also cite at least three resources
either from your coursework or additional resources you have found that are no more than five years old.<br /> <br /> Part 3: Quality and Effectiveness: The Bigger Picture<br /> <br /> Reflect on
what you have learned about how the ways programs are monitored and standards are used to evaluate program effectiveness and measure children’s learning influence effective programs and practices,
and ultimately impact children’s development.<br /> Consider the two recommendations outlined by the National Early Childhood Accountability Task Force (2007), which recommend that states should:
(1) develop a unified system of early childhood education that includes a single, coherent system of standards, assessments, data, and professional development efforts across all categorical
programs and funding streams and (2) align high-quality and comprehensive standards, curriculum, and assessments as a continuum from prekindergarten through grade.<br /> Based on your readings and
experiences within this course, summarize what you see as the benefits and challenges associated with these recommendations. Include your thinking with regard to the ways these recommendations
might contribute to high-quality/effective programming. Conclude with potential benefits in terms of supporting the development of every child between the ages of birth and 8.<br /> <br /> Note:
