Reflective Analysis of Portfolio Artifact Rationale/Reflection NAEYC Standard:

STANDARD 5. USING CONTENT KNOWLEDGE TO BUILD MEANINGFUL CURRICULUM Candidates prepared in early childhood degree programs use their knowledge of academic disciplines to design, implement, and evaluate experiences that promote positive development and learning for each and every young child. Candidates understand the importance of developmental domains and academic (or content) disciplines in early childhood curriculum. They know the essential concepts, inquiry tools, and structure of content areas, including academic subjects, and can identify resources to deepen their understanding. Candidates use their own knowledge and other resources to design, implement, and evaluate meaningful, challenging curriculum that promotes comprehensive developmental and learning outcomes for every young child.

Brief Description of Evidence:


During the course of my ECED 243 Cognitive Curriculum in the Fall of 2012, I created a unit plan as assigned for the Engaging the Brain Project. The project focused on Howard Gardners Theory of Multiple Intelligences. The unit plan consisted of 8 lesson plans; each one outlined developmental domains, objectives, foundations, planning process, materials, procedures, and extension ideas.

Analysis of What I Learned:


Through completion of this unit plan framework I was able to use tools such as music and rhythm as a fun interactive activity for learning and association. By applying music and rhythm to my lesson plan, I learned that these tools can be used in a variety of developmentally appropriate ways and is highly adaptable to several different areas of curriculum. It is also an excellent way to incorporate several of the intelligence objectives into one activity.

How This Artifact Demonstrates my Competence on the NAEYC Standard:


This project exemplifies my competence on this standard because it reflects my ability to design, implement, and evaluate an activity that is derived from a trusted theory of differentiated academic learning styles. By keeping developmental domains and academic disciplines at the core of every lesson plan, it will ensure that each child has a chance to achieve comprehensive growth.
