School Readiness Goals

Hello Ladies here is our new Blog activity for the week . We will be discussing our School Readiness Goals.

1. Our goal or outcome for Social Emotional Development Domain states:  
"Children will establish and maintain social relationships with peers and adults.

2. Our outcome for Language and Literacy-Receptive language states:
"Children will follow detailed, multi-step directions." 

3. and our outcome for Self Regulation/Emotional and Behavioral Health states:
"Children will demonstrate self-regulation by controlling their strong emotions in an appropriate manner most of the time.

Your task as a group (center) is to demonstrate how this outcome is measured, what tool(s) are used to measure outcomes, what data have you collected and what are you doing with the data after collection and hummmmm one activity that is currently being implemented that ensures the goal is met.

Each site is assigned one of the above SR goals:  
Hare Valley #1   Hallwood #2    and ESECDC #3  

The deadline for this project is November 20th....This time you can select one person from your center to post on behalf of your group, I will be sharing at our Staff development day (21st)!
Happy Blogging.....

  1. School Readiness Goals
    Hallwood #2 question: Our outcome for Language and Literacy-Receptive language states: "Children will follow detailed, multi-step directions."
    The staff here at Hallwood feel that being consistent with clear detailed steps repetitiously. For an example> After mealtime the children are asked to stand up, push chairs in, gather trash and put it in the garbage can, put all eating utensils such as (plates, forks, cups, and bowls) and put them in the tote that's on the food cart. and prepare for hand washing. These goals are measured by observations, and the Frog Street Assessment. Data collected are our anecdotal notes. Activities like the Frog Street stress reliever with calm down strategies have multi-step directions, looking through magazines and finding a picture, cut it out, and glue it on a piece of construction paper would be another activity.
    Positives would be: It will enhance comprehension of spatial order, daily routines, circle time, and communication such as verbal expression. Negatives would be that it could be overwhelming (grasping to many steps) to some that haven't progressed to that level of understanding or skill development. In this case we would use incremental steps to enhance this goal.
