Teacher Interview

Interview a teacher in the United States that taught school-age children pre-COVID-19, during the pandemic, and post-COVID-19.

Ask them:

  1. What are the biggest differences that you noticed in your interactions with your students?,
  2. What are the biggest differences that you noticed in interactions between students?,
  3. What do you think have been the biggest challenges?,
  4. What are the lasting effects that you have noticed?,

 

Teacher Interview

Create a short presentation (5–10 slides) to describe what you learned. You do NOT have to record any audio.

If you are unable to find a teacher to interview, you may use the following three links to find information (you will have to cite them):

Part B

After watching the two videos this week, pick one to discuss and answer the following questions:

Video #1:  Theory of Mind – Why is theory of mind an important development in young children?,  How does understanding that other people have their own perspectives and their own ideas that may be different than their own help children development not only cognitively but socially and emotionally as well? ,  How is this important in the classroom?

OR

Video #2:  Autism – What did you think about the presenter’s ideas about autism?  Can you take her perspective and make it relevant to your work with young children?  What about her example of the shopping mall?  Can you think about that example and apply it to a child in a classroom?  Is it possible that we sometimes view children who are not typically developing as having deficits as well, especially when they are not thriving in the classroom?  How can we shift our thinking to better understand the children in our classrooms and find ways to better meet their needs?

Early Adulthood

Discussion Board Question:

During the span of adulthood, individuals experience various roles that impact their life-course and trajectory of development. These various life roles help to explain the psychosocial dynamics of the stage  through their meaning, when and how they present themselves, and what they mean to the individual experiencing that shift in a life role.

 

Early Adulthood

According to Newman and Newman (2018), “Adulthood can be seen as a series of increasingly differentiated and complex roles that the individual plays for substantial lengths of time. The salient roles of adulthood, such as worker, spouse, friend, parent, teacher, mentor, volunteer, or community leader, give structure to adult identity and meaning to life” (). In order to understand adulthood, Social Role Theory is the lens used to encompass the stage’s complexities and influences.

  • Reflecting on the major components of the theory, what are the key roles that a person is likely to enact in early adulthood? How might these roles enhance each other? Conflict with each other?
  • What are the sources of happiness and fulfillment that are central to this life-stage? Describe some consequences of getting drawn into a work role that does not promote fulfillment.
  • Think about the period of early adulthood as a time for establishing a lifestyle that is in harmony with the goals, values, and commitments that were formed in later adolescence. What are some reasons that young adults might experience uncertainty and a need to change? Evaluate the costs and benefits of making major lifestyle changes during this stage.
