NATIONAL BOARD EARLY CHILDHOOD
GENERALIST COMPONENT 1
COMPLETE DETAILED CASE STUDY
uReflection - Minute-to- minute adjustments a teacher makes or in the more thoughtful analysis and
deliberate adjustments made at the end of a unit
Orthography - A set of conventions for writing a language (spelling, capitalization, punctuation)
Students need lots of opportunities to - count and produce sets
composing/decomposing - Mathematical processes of putting together and taking apart (for example,
addition and subtraction)
Unitizing - Must be grasped before moving students to base 10 blocks
Stages of language development - 1- Preproduction minimal comprehension
2- Early productivity limited comprehension
3- Speech emergence good comprehension
4-Intermediate fluency excellent comprehension
5- Advanced fluency near native language
Carol Tomlinson - Differentiated instruction - A more qualitative than quantitative approach to teaching
and learning for students of differing abilities to maximize each students growth and individual success
by meeting each student where they are and assisting in the learning process
Differentiation - Teachers response to the learners needs : respectful tasks, continual assessment, flexible
grouping
,Teachers can differentiate - Content, process, product
Differentiate according to students - Readiness, interests, learning profile
Differentiated Instructional strategies - Learning stations, task cards, target different senses, think-pair-
share, group students with similar learning styles
Stages of Phonological Awareness/Literacy Development - 1&2-Listening and speaking
3-Rhyme awareness
4-Syllable awareness (Mon•day)
5-Onset & Rhyme (t•all)
6&7- Phonemic Awareness (pencil) 5 sounds
8- Phonics - sound /letter relationships
9&10 Phonics - reading & spelling
Homonyms - Spruce- to spruce up
Spruce - spruce tree
Homographs - Bow- to bend down
Bow- ribbon
Homophones - Rode/Road
Affixes - prefixes and suffixes
Root words - morphemes
Schwa - Mysterious unstressed vowel (banana) /u/
, Developmental Stages of Writing - 1. Pre-Literate - scribble, symbolic stage, directional scribble, mock
letters
2. Emergent - letter strings, letter groups, labels pictures, environmental print
3. Transitional - Letter/Word representation, first/last letter (ct=cat)
4. Fluent - Beginning phrase writing, sentence writing
Stages of Writing - 1. Planning
2. First Draft
3. Revising
4. Editing
5. Publishing
Steps in the research paper - 1. Identify topic
2. Develop ideas
3. Gather content
4. Evaluate resources
5. Create citations
Commutative Property - A+B=C
B+A=C
Associative Property - (a+b)+c=a+(b+c)
(ab)c=a(bc)
Distributive Property - a(b + c) = ab + ac
Identity Property of Multiplication - If you multiply a number by one, the product is the same as that
number.
