Benchmark – Instructional and Behavioral Support of Students in an Early Childhood Classroom

For this benchmark, use the balance of your practicum hours to inform and observe the classroom environment, dynamics, and three students. From your observation, identify, analyze, and critique the instructional, assessment, and behavioral support strategies that affect the learning of a typical, special needs, and gifted learners. Choose three students to observe: a typical, a special needs student, and a gifted student. Focus on one academic subject for each child.
