Hilhi Early Childhood Education Focused Program of Study
Do you ever wonder why people do what they do or say what they say? Answers to these and other questions
can be found by studying how people develop. Having an understanding of the developmental domains, the
theories about development and methods of guidance assist many professionals in their careers; such as, Health
& Human Protective Services, Care & Education, Entertainment, Design, Advertising, Marketing, &
Management, and Research & Consulting.
The Early Childhood Education Focused Program of Study is a course of study to explore the world of early
childhood education and development. In the introductory Child’s World course students learn how children
develop and why they do what they do. This is a theory based class that is articulated with Portland Community
College (PCC). That means if a student shows a high level of understanding of the content he/she can earn 3
PCC Early Education and Family credits. You can also earn PCC credits through the advanced courses, Child
Services I and II. In these courses students learn to create developmentally appropriate curriculum/activities,
take and interpret accurate developmental observations, and assist in the running of the onsite Little Spartan
Preschool by putting into action the concepts learned in the introductory course.
During the capstone year students have the opportunity to research an area of personal relevance that involve
youth and development. Some of the topics being researched this year are; “How have fashion trends for young
children changed over the past two and a half decades?” “What are the differences in prenatal care for a high
risk pregnancy versus a typical pregnancy?” “How can pet therapy be affectively incorporated in the home of
children with disabilities?” “How do different cultures celebrate youth’s coming of age?”
To complete this focused program of study students must complete the required course work with a C average,
complete 30 hours of Extended Application of the focused area academic knowledge, do a senior project of
personal relevance within the subject matter, document and present their portfolio work, and fulfill two full
school years working in the on-site Little Spartan Preschool.

MAKE UP WORK AND LATE WORK: Whenever a class is missed, it is the student’s responsibility to see their teachers concerning make-up
assignments. It is important that this be done the day the student returns to school so that he/she does not fall
behind the rest of the class. Students are allowed one more day than the number of days absent to complete
their make-up work which may entail doing an alternative assignment after conferencing with the instructor. If
family/medical extenuating circumstances have prevented the student from attending class, the student should
contact the teacher the day an assignment/project/assessment is due and arrangements can be made.
All material is to be turned in on time. Late work/projects/assessments will be accepted, but will not be graded
and returned as quickly as material turned in on time.
![Page 10: Child Services Imrspurdyhilhi.weebly.com/uploads/1/5/1/4/15144774/1415cs... · 2018. 10. 15. · & Human Protective Services, Care & Education, Entertainment, Design, Advertising,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062606/5fe0a1bea95bf435534f4a08/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Students have until the week before finals, dead week, to turn in any missing work/projects/assessments. After
that time no late work/projects/assessments will be accepted. A student who submits zero material or only
50% of the material for the course will fail the course.
TARDIES:
Students are expected to be in their seats when the final bell rings. Tardies are a disruption to the education
climate in classes. Our Tardy Sweep system was created to help us ensure that students are in class on-time and
ready to engage in learning. All students not in their assigned class on-time will report to the Guided Study
Room for a tardy pass. Any student that has more than two unexcused tardies will be assigned detentions and
or other disciplinary consequences as appropriate.
Once the student receives the late slip he/she is required to come directly to the classroom and the tardy will be
recorded. Any student who is10 minutes or later to class will be marked absent for the day and a parent contact
will be initiated.
The following protocol will be followed for students who are tardy to class:
• 1st and 2nd tardy – verbal warning from teacher to student
• 3rd tardy– Teacher contacts parent/guardian & lunch detention assigned and recorded on a referral
form.
• 4th tardy – Referral-after school (T/Th) or Wed AM – assigned by administration
• 5th tardy – Saturday School- assigned by administration
• After 10 tardies, a parent/student/administrator conference will be held.
REQUIREMENTS: (Percentage = weight of grade) Your grade will be based on formative and summative assessments of the expected learner outcomes/course
objectives; such as, course assignments, class participation (lab days and projects), observations, lead days,
planning and implementing age appropriate activities, essays, speeches, and portfolio completion. You are
responsible for keeping a portfolio of all of your work. Extra Credit is not offered.
Grading Criteria: Grading Scale:
Students must show basic proficiency (a C grade) in the course learning objectives/targets 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10,
& 13, in order to pass the class. All course objectives/targets are tied to the above listed course standards and
all assignments will have the related course content objectives/targets and standards listed at the top.
An (I) Incomplete grade will be given to a student whose evidence is insufficient to demonstrate proficiency in
1to 2 of the mandatory course objectives/targets, or does not demonstrate a proficient understanding/score in 1

to 2 of those objectives/targets. Students who earn an (I) Incomplete grade will have 2 weeks after grades are
posted to demonstrate proficiency in the objectives he/she is deficient in. After that 2 week period if there is no
evidence submitted the (I) Incomplete will be changed to an F grade. Students who demonstrate proficiency
will have the (I) Incomplete changed to a proficiency grade of a C and no higher.
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS
Discussion Prep: The Discussion Prep category consists of writing prompts, note taking, class discussions, reading of text(s),
supplemental readings assigned by the instructor, reading evaluations, and collaborative work. Much of this
work will need to be worked on and/or completed outside of class and will prepare students for the in class
discussions and projects that will occur.
Warm ups/Tickets Out:
Every day that is not a preschool day, students learn new material, work on current projects and debrief on
preschool sessions. At the beginning of each of these classroom days the class begins with a warm up. Warm
ups are worth 2 points and are recorded in the gradebook after there have been 10 class warm ups. Warm ups
consist of a review of prior knowledge and course objectives. Tickets out are done at the end of class as a
review and a way for the instructor to see how the students are progressing on the learning targets and help for
the planning of future class periods.
Journal: Students will keep a daily journal of reflections and personal assessment of the daily learning targets and larger
course objectives. In addition students will keep a daily research journal log while they work on projects.
Work Graded For Accuracy: Work Graded For Accuracy is exactly that. Anything that falls under this category is in the rough draft phase of
a bigger project. Work Graded For Accuracy is about receiving feedback so that the final product meets the
course standards/objectives.
SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENTS
Lab Points Every day that there is preschool is considered a lab day. Lab points will be assessed according to the Lab Day
grading rubric. Labs will be assessed every lab day, recorded, and officially entered into the computer at the end
of each month.
Parent Conference Leading Students will schedule appointments with the targeted child’s parents/guardians and utilizing the collected and
analyzed data, lead a professional parent conference. Students will self-assess and parents will assess the
student on the course objectives and standards for this authentic experience.
Leady Teacher Day(s)
Students will lead as head teacher as a part of a team and facilitate the developmentally appropriate lessons,
activities and they planned. At the conclusion of each lead teacher day students will conduct a thorough self
and team evaluation.
Essays/Speeches Essays and speeches will be done at the conclusion of each trimester’s assigned project. Essays will be graded
using a grading rubric based on the Hilhi SpartsWrite. All essays will be typed, double spaced, 12 point font,
with 1 inch margins. Speeches will be assessed based on the Oregon Speaking scoring rubric. Students will
have the opportunity to make revisions on essays and speeches if they do not meet the required standards.

Each senior must complete 3 research projects during the school year. Each project deals with youth and a
personal point of interest for the student. A spring exhibition night is a crucial part of the senior year whereas
the student will showcase the portfolio and all of the year’s projects for community members.
Portfolio
Every Child Service II student will complete a portfolio of his/her work. The portfolio is a compilation of the
work that the student has done throughout the current and prior year in Child Services 1. The portfolio should
represent the process and progress the student has undergone the past two years of high school. The portfolio is
the final cumulative assessment for the Human Resources Early Childhood Education Focus Program of Study,
the course standards the student has mastered, the extended application graduation requirement/essential skills
and is also used in the assessment for the Portland Community College Credit that may be earned.
ACADEMIC STANDARDS/STUDENT EXPECTATIONS/ETHICS: This course is the second part of the articulated ECE 132 “Field Work” course with Portland Community
College (PCC). This means if a student chooses to, he/she can earn community college credit as well as high
school graduation credit by taking Child Services 1 and Child Services 2. Both enrollment in the PCC
articulation program and the PCC credits earned as a high school student through this program are free.

Little Spartan Preschool Statement of Purpose
In the Little Spartan Preschool, we believe that each child has immense potential. To achieve this potential
students/children construct their knowledge through hands on, relevant projects and activities that are both
independent and collaborative. The children’s interests, natural inquisitive disposition and developmental
abilities help guide the curriculum. In our classroom you will see constructivist and sociocultural methods,
concepts, and theories in action. Learning through play, independent as well as collaborative
learning/experimenting and role modeling from adults is what you will see. Through this children will be
developing in each of the developmental domains. Listed below are some key goals we focus on.
1. To develop a positive attitude toward school and learning.
2. To develop a sense of high self-esteem in our children.
3. To develop habits of concentration for lifelong study skills.
4. To foster an abiding curiosity.
5. To develop habits of initiative and persistence.
6. To foster inner discipline and a sense of order.
7. To develop sensory-motor skills and sharpen the ability to discriminate and judge.

Schedules & Routines
Schedules and routines form the basic structure of the day. A good schedule for children offers a balance
between active & quiet times, large group, small group, play time with others, indoor and outdoor play times, as
well as time for free choice activities & teacher directed activities.
A schedule should allow for the following routines, arrival & departure, meals & snacks, sleeping/resting (if all
day program), self-help skills, and clean-up & transitions.
Consistency is important! It builds trust and a beginning sense of time. In addition a schedule should be
developmentally appropriate and it should reflect your program & children.
During Morning Meeting children learn social skills & attention span while discussing the learning projects and
objectives for the day. The meeting time should only be about15 minutes and be age appropriate. If needed due
to age appropriateness break into smaller groups. It is important before, during, and after meeting time to use
smooth transitions as it helps children stay focused and self-disciplined. Morning Meeting is a well-planned
time of the preschool day focused on the goals of the target children and the projects for the week or month;
however the best laid out plans can and will change due to circumstances that occur in the classroom. It is
important to be able to make in-flight decisions and understand that it is okay to stray from the plan a little bit if
it is a “teachable moment.”
As mentioned above transitions are very important, they individualize the process for each child, give children
notice a change is about to happen, and allow enough time for children to finish what he/she was doing and
move on. One method of transitioning is to assign tasks to children. This helps with emotional outbursts and
assists with independence. It is very important to be clear, consistent, & flexible at all times.

Duties and Responsibilities
Duties rotate on a weekly basis. When you finish the assigned responsibilities exhibit team work and go around
and assist others.
Setting Up- First 10-15 minutes of period 1 Each person will be assigned a learning center to set up and lead for the month. To set up a learning center
follow the subsequent steps:
1. Go to the learning center and check the lesson plan and/or focus question for the center. If either the
lesson plan or focus question isn’t posted check the block plan for the day and arrange the learning
center according to what is written there.
2. Read the ENTIRE lesson plan and ask clarifying questions of the “teacher” for the focus question.
3. Get out the appropriate materials according to the lesson plan. If for some reason we are out of the
materials needed make a logical decision and fix the problem.
4. Understand how to do the activity and what open ended comments and questions to ask the children as
you do the activity. Be sure you have your writing utensil to take down stories, wonderings and thoughts
the children have as they work.
5. When you are finished setting up your area, go around to the other learning centers and see if anyone
needs assistance.
6. Read all the other lesson plans/focus questions so you are prepared to move to other areas of the room
and know what is happening. This is the time to get clarification on anything that doesn’t make sense or
you have questions on.
7. Once you’re done setting up or helping, go over to the opening duty list on the duty board. Make sure
that all of the opening duties are checked off before preschool begins and families arrive.
Snack- (See the snack guideline page)
Communication Notebooks/ “My Day” Reports- Every Child Services student does this everyday that there is preschool.
Every day in which preschool is in session a “My Day” report will be done for each child and will be checked
off on the job board each day/period. The “My Day” report is a method of informing parents/caregivers the
following items in regards to their child’s day: behavior, enjoyed activities, concepts learned, skills utilized,
nutrition as well as serving size, and who spent time with the child. “My Day” reports are to be written in the
child’s Communication/Observation notebook located in his/her cubby basket. The “My Day” reports are to be
done towards the last part of the class period as we reflect on our day before snack and at the end of the day in
our closure activity. It is crucial to be very sure that grammar and spelling is correct, sentences are complete,
vocabulary choice is appropriate and the day reflection is accurate. There are several dictionaries in the
preschool and in the classroom to assist with this, remember when in doubt look it up or ask. “My Day” reports
MUST be put into the child’s cubby before you or the child leaves preschool for the day. A parent/caregiver
should leave each day with a minimum of two entries in the Communication/Observation notebook. After
turning the report into the cubby you will go over to the job board and sign off on the “My Day” report. This is
your accountability as it is checked each day by parents/guardians and the instructor.
Documentation Every day in which preschool is in session students will record at least one learning experience and story a child
has. Pieces of documentation may include transcriptions of children’s conversations, transcriptions of children’s
thought process or wonderings, their handwriting, their work/art, and the process that a child goes through in a
project. This is also a place in which you can place your or the child’s wonderings. This documentation will
assist in planning provocations, parent conferences, and be a source of dialog with parents.

Welcoming/Name Tags – As a “Welcomer” you and your partner(s) will sit by the front door by the preschool nametags with the
Preschool roll sheet clipboard. As the children come in you smile and welcome them by name to the preschool.
You will assist the children in finding their nametags and feeling comfortable about entering school. As the
children come in you will mark them here for the day. You will take roll for the first 10 minutes of preschool.
When the 10 minutes are up you will bring the roll sheet clipboard to the morning meeting area and you will
take roll aloud. If children come in late you are also responsible for marking the children tardy so we have an
accurate head count at all times throughout the day.
Lead Cleanup– Be sure to check the clock. With 10 minutes before the scheduled clean up time go around to all the children
and individually ask each child how soon they will be ready to clean up. Tell the children how much time there
is left before morning reflection begins. Encourage children to finish their projects/work or put a “In progress”
sign with their name on or next to the work they haven’t finished yet. Assist children with wiping down tables,
putting items away and settling in at the meeting carpet to reflect.
Morning Meeting, Story Workshop , Math Explore, Project Assistant – As an assistant for Morning Meeting, Story Workshop, Math Explore or Projects, you need to go over and read
the appropriate lesson plan/provocation or focus question, know what materials are needed, gather the materials
and set up for the lesson/provocation. This job will be done long before it is time to lead the lesson/activity.
When Morning Meeting, Story Workshop, Math Explore or Project time is ready to commence, assist in getting
the children to the appropriate areas using positive guidance. You will either act as the lead teacher or assist the
lead teacher by handing out materials, reading if necessary, holding up flannel pieces, etc. If for some reason the
lead teacher must leave the group you will take the group and lesson over.
Explore Leaders – Each person in periods 1 will be assigned a learning center project area to be the leader of. It is important that
you know and understand the lesson/provocation/focus question for that area and are able to lead or guide the
children with this lesson. You are responsible for documenting through writing and pictures the learning
processes that occur during that lesson. You will keep a running record for that learning center that will be put
together as documentation to be shared with parents before the next preschool day.
Art Area Clean up – You will be responsible for assisting the children clean up the art area. Help children wipe down tables/floors,
brushes, easels, trays, etc. and put items in proper locations. Paint should be recycled back into the paint bottles
whenever possible. DO NOT POUR PAINT or ANY OTHER material other than water down the sink;
otherwise it will clog the drain. When cleaning use the sinks in CA 6. All art supplies MUST be washed, dried,
and put away in their correct spot before you leave. The sink, counter, and backsplash will be wiped down and
clean as well. When you finish cleaning up you will go back into the preschool and join into morning reflection.
Sensory Table Clean up – First check to see if the items in the sensory table will continue to be explored next preschool session. If the
items will be changed out for next class, take the tub from the table and take it into CA 6 and clean it up. DO
NOT POUR PAINT or ANY OTHER material other than water down the sink; otherwise it will clog the drain.
Please utilize paper towels, cloth towels, and the garbage can to get rid of any rubbish. If water is needed to
clean out the sensory table, use the sinks in CA 6 or better yet the hose in the greenhouse outside. When you
finish cleaning up you will put the sensory tub back into the table clean and dry. After this you will go back into
the preschool and participate in morning reflection.

Head of table at Snack – The head snack people will put on an apron, pull hair up and out of face and wash his/her hands. The people
who are at the head of the snack tables are charge of making sure the students from period 1 have had the helper
children set the table with enough cups, napkins, serving utensil, plates, food, and whatever else is needed for
snack that day. Once the tables are all set and ready the head snack people will sit down at the table he/she is
responsible for. When all the children have washed their hands and are sitting down the leaders will begin
passing around plates, cups, etc. The head snack person is responsible for making sure that the children are all
taking appropriate portions and that they get whatever is needed while snack is happening. When snack is over
the head table folks will clean out the bowls if there is any leftover food by disposing of it in the garbage cans in
the preschool classroom. Food items that have been out on the table may NOT be re-used or eaten by high
school students. The leader will then bring their trays and items on the trays to the dish folks to wash. The head
table people will then sanitize and rinse the table and chairs they were sitting at.
Snack Clean up – The folks in charge of snack clean -up are responsible for sweeping the floors under and around the snack
tables, sink and garbage cans. This means chairs will need to be pulled out and stacked at each end of the tables,
no more than 5 chairs high. The snack clean up folks will also need to sanitize and rinse down the kitchenette
cupboards, counters, stovetop and the walls in and around the kitchenette, sink and garbage can. Please wear
gloves while cleaning as you will be using bleach water.
Dishes – Dishes consists of following the 5 step protocol for hand washing dishes; scrape, wash, rinse, sanitize and air
dry. Once dishes are cleaned, sanitized, and dry they will be put away in the cupboards and drawers in their
correct location. If in doubt of where something goes, look at the labels and pictures on cupboard doors and on
the drawers or ask someone. Only people doing dishes are allowed to be in the CA 4 classroom. The goal is to
get dishes done as quickly and efficiently possible so you can go and interact with the children.
Outdoor Setup/Clean up – When you are in charge of the outdoor setup/clean up you will follow the subsequent steps:
1. Go over to the lead day bin and read the outdoor/gross motor lesson plan.
2. If you have any questions clarify with the lead teacher or the instructor.
3. Get the keys from the Child Services II bulletin board in the instructor’s office under the sign
“Kitchenette/Shed Keys”.
4. Unlock the shed and set out the materials according to the lesson plan. Put the keys back where you
found them in the instructor’s office.
5. When it is time to come inside go and get the cow bell. Ring the bell and encourage the children to help
bring all the materials to the shed.
6. Go and get the keys and put everything back in the shed in an orderly manner so to avoid injury and so
all materials are visible and easily found.
7. Put the keys back in the correct spot.
Afternoon Reflection Leader – The leader of afternoon reflection will gather the children together on our meeting carpet and ask the children to
reflect on their day. The leader will listen to each child and ask clarifying questions. The leader will get around
to every child before he/she leaves for the day.
Goodbyes – As a “Goodbyer” there are three different jobs to do and this will be shared with one to two other people. When
parents begin to arrive get the preschool roll sheet clipboard. One person will stand by the door as the
parents/guardians exit with their children. At NO time should a child leave the front door without a
parent/guardian. One high school student will make sure the child has put his/her nametag in the name tag
holder and will check the child out on the roll sheet clipboard. When all of the children are gone you will go

21
over and begin helping with the closing duties. If a person comes to pick up a child and we have never seen this
person before you must do the following:
1. Ask for the person’s name and I.D.
2. Check the person’s I.D. with the names of the approved people on the pick-up list on the registration form in
the child’s registration packet (located in the Instructor’s office)
3. Verify the person’s identity and give back the I.D.
4. If the person is on the verified list they may take the child with them; however, if they are not on the list
you CANNOT release the child to the person.
After Preschool Clean up/Closing Duties – Look on the duty sheet and find your name for the after preschool clean up. You are responsible for the area of the
preschool your name is next to as well as the other closing duties on the closing duty check off sheet. Be sure that all
materials are where they are supposed to be (check labels and pictures, ask questions if you’re not sure of the
location), sanitize all surfaces in your area, vacuum, sweep, and/or swiffer the floor in your area, and be sure there is
no paint or any other splatter on the surfaces around your assigned area. Use common sense when cleaning. When
you are done go to the closing duty list on the wall next to the duty board and do what needs to be done. When in
doubt take care of it. The more you work together the quicker things get done.
Snack
Snack activities can promote a variety of self-help skills. Serving themselves, children learn to take
responsibility for their own appetite as well as learning to coordinate a variety of skills such as pouring and
spreading. Social skills are also developed when children learn to take turns, share limited supplies, and
practice polite eating habits. Snack time is a challenge for teachers who can help pace a slow and relaxed
routine, model serving methods, and supervise the healthy presentation of the snack. In addition, teachers can
encourage children to talk and visit with one another.
Responsibilities of the “teachers”:
1. Be food handler certified
2. Snack preparation
3. Snack time monitor
4. Clean up
A “teacher” has several responsibilities during snack whether or not he/she is the head of the table or not.
When a “teacher” is the head of the table, according to the weekly duty list, he/she must follow the preparation
check off, the snack time service check list, and the snack/kitchenette clean up that is posted in the kitchenette
and is listed on the following page.
A “teacher” who is helping monitor snack must sit, not stand, close to his/her buddy. During this time the
“teacher” monitors his/her buddy and all children around him/her to be sure that no choking occurs, manners are
used, spills are cleaned up or avoided, dirty dishes are placed in the correct bins by children and that the
children use their skills to the best of their abilities. At no time should a “teacher” be daydreaming or be off
task during snack, as this can lead to dangerous situations.
It is also the responsibility of both monitors and the heads of the tables during snack time to monitor that the
children only take a serving of each of the items served for snack. It is completely appropriate for a child to
have another serving if he/she desires, if and only if every other child at the table has gotten a chance to have a
first serving. Children do not need to pile their plates high as it wastes food and is an inappropriate serving size.
Monitors and the heads of the tables will use positive communication while talking with children about this. At
no time shall a “teacher” eat off of a child’s plate or eat the preschool food.

Food Handler Certification
As part of the requirements of this class you will be responsible for the preparation of food for the children in
the preschool. It is a requirement of the state of Oregon that any person who prepares or works around food for
the public must have food handler training and certification. In this course you will get the food handler
training and certification if you do not already have it. If you already hold your food handler certification you
will need to submit a copy of your food handler card to the instructor. Most of the training and all of the testing
will occur in a computer lab proctored by your instructor. If you would like to study the material at home

If blood gets on the child’s clothes, such as from a nose bleed, the clothes will be placed in a plastic bag
and put into the child’s cubby. The parent will then be called in addition to the accident report.
Major injury and Emergency:
Report to the Director
The Director will administer First Aide and provide for the direct care of the injured child.
The Director will designate a student teacher to lead the supervision of the class and to call the child’s
parents.
The Director and/or advanced student teacher will:
o Call for emergency assistance:
o Call the main office and notify of the incidence and they will call 911.
o A student teacher will be directed to stand outside the building to direct the emergency vehicles.
o The Director will record appropriate information in the Accident Report Form, and will
coordinate the written reports of all individuals involved.
Fire and Emergency Procedure
The fire and emergency procedures have been created to promote an awareness of prevention and safety in the
occasion of an event that requires special care and attention in the management of the program. Emergencies
may consist of fire, earthquake, weather, bomb threat, and/or intruder.
The goal of the emergency procedures is to promote awareness on the part of the children, high school students,
and the director of the value of the planning for and implementation of emergency safety and evacuation
procedures.
The drill will be carried out as a part of the curriculum rather than a prescribed procedure. That is, class
presentations, discussion, and activities will support the child and high school student teacher’s development of
knowledge concerning safety and self and community awareness.
Escape routes will be posted in the classroom and in the preschool.
One emergency procedure will be practiced a month.
A high school student teacher will record the activity on the Fire-drill report form, which will be
maintained and posted in the preschool.
Fire/Emergency Evacuation Drill Procedure 1. The Director and advanced high school student teachers will instruct parents, other students, and
volunteers regarding the procedures and their role in the drill. This may be done during the preparation
time for preschool and/or during the Preschool Open House.
2. The Director will prepare the children for the first drill of the year through classroom discussion and
activities.
3. The Director will plan a “bell” or other method of announcing the beginning of the drill.
4. The children are to grab the hand of the nearest “student teacher” (high school student teacher) and line
up at the exit door.
5. The Director will get a count of the children and high school student teachers.
6. The specified advanced high school student teacher (Assistant II) will ensure that there are no other
children or high school students in the bathroom or adjoining classroom or office area.

7. The Director will observe the attendance lists to obtain the total number of children and students present
that day and confirm the attendance with the head count. IF A CHILD OR STUDENT TEACHER IS
MISSING THE HEAD TEACHER WILL GO TO LOOK FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL LEAVING
THE SPECIFIED STUDENT TEACHER TO LEAD THE GROUP OUT OF THE BUILIDING. (In the event of a true emergency, the Director will search for missing persons as is prudent given the
location and severity of the fire or other emergency.)
8. The building will be evacuated and the group will go out to the football fields behind the building in an
orderly fashion. All assistants will take charge of the children they are responsible for and exit the
building.
9. Assistant II (Child Service II students) will be in charge of turning off lights and grabbing the school
radio as we exit the building.
10. The Director will do a “head count” at the time of arrival on the football fields and will report the
number of students and children in the group and any missing students or children to the designated
stations outside represented by orange flags.
11. Student teachers will talk with children about the purpose of the drill, and then return to the Preschool.
(In a true emergency, a return to the Preschool will not be made. The Director will contact parents to
pick up children when the okay is given by High School administration).
In the event that there is an intruder on the premises the following Hillsboro High School Guidelines will be
followed.
1. An announcement will be made over the PA system that will include the words this is a Lock-In.
2. All curtains/blinds will be closed.
3. The “teachers” will calmly escort the children into the adjoining classroom that has no windows.
4. The Director will lock all doors and follow the group into the classroom and lock the door.
5. The Director will read stories quietly or lead a “quiet” activity until the containment is over.
6. The doors are NOT to be opened until the all clear is given.

Sally Spartan Monday, September 15, 2014 Period 1 Observer - Mrs. Purdy
Today Sally seemed to be in a very happy mood. She smiled and giggled during the activities and talked about
her projects to those around her.
For the majority of the morning Sally spent time in the writing center “writing” the words to the story she
created last week.
Sally worked on several skills today but the one skill/concept she really focused on was the sounds and shapes
of letters as she attempted to “write” the words to her story.
Sally Spartan Monday, September 15, 2014 Period 2 Observer - Mrs. Purdy
Today Sally seemed energetic and happy during snack and outdoor time but when she came in for Math Explore
she became quiet and reserved. From her report about her day today it seems that she didn’t want to come
inside she wanted to do math outside.
When outside today Sally used sidewalk chalk to draw on the sidewalk for over 30 minutes. She kept
describing events that were in her story and wanted pictures taken of her drawings so she could add them to her
story book.
The skills/concepts Sally worked on today was self-expression and narrative skills. Both of the skills are
important for her to develop because they are literacy skills.
Today snack was Ritz crackers, cream cheese, apple slices and milk. Sally ate all of her snack and had two
servings of the apple slices. She said, “Dees aw my favit!” [These are my favorite!]

Field Trip Planning Guidelines
When planning a field trip there are several aspects to keep in mind. Here is a checklist of what needs to be
done before, during, and after.
Before
Decide on a location and the learning objective of the fieldtrip.
Check the calendar and see where a field trip would be appropriate.
Create a proposal and turn it into the teacher. (The proposal should include where the field trip is going
be, why it was chosen, what goals the children will be learning while on the field trip, and a sample
agenda.) ALL FIELD TRIP PROPOSALS MUST BE TURNED IN AT LEAST ONE MONTH
PRIOR TO THE EVENT.
Gather a “Field trip request form” from the instructor and fill out the form on the computer.
Call the location and set up a time and date for the event.
Fill out the appropriate forms and then give to the teacher to turn into the Principal.
If the field trip is approved gather the number of permission slips needed for the highs school students and
the preschool children from the attendance office. Fill out the location and school information sections.
Decide if chaperones are needed. Create a sign up for chaperones if possible. Be sure to be fair and
honest when dealing with the parents.
Take a count of the high school students (CS I/II from both class periods), preschool students and parent
chaperones (if needed) who will be going on the field trip; don’t forget the instructor.
Create a detailed and grammatically correct description of the event for the monthly newsletter. Place the
a copy of the completed permission slip as part of the newsletter so parents have them on hand.
Plan a presentation time and day to go over the basic fieldtrip information with the Child Services classes.
Assist the students in filling out their permission slips.
Create a spreadsheet format that shows who is going on the field trip, who has turned in money (if
needed) and permission slips. Leave two spaces open for attendance of high school students and parent
chaperones the day of.
Two weeks prior to the event order food for children if needed. Decide on the carrying method of the food
and beverages and who is in charge of the lunches.
A week prior to the event call the Bus Barn to confirm the number and arrival time of buses.
Put children, high school buddies, and parents into groups for head counts and appropriate supervision.
Have this checked by the teacher for any necessary revisions.
Create a presentation (the audience are your peers) for the week before the event. The presentation will
explain the event, which groups people are in, and what the expectations are.

During
The day of the fieldtrip come to the classroom half an hour before school starts.
Get lunches (if needed) in order and into the decided upon carrying method.
Be sure that each of the group leaders has one of the walkie talkies, a First Aid Kit, Kleenex, Field Trip
Head Count Checklist, a watch, a schedule, and snacks for the children.
Get children onto buses and appropriately buckled into seats.
Take head count and roll. Teacher will verify.
Be sure that all high school teachers are with the preschool buddies at all times.
Do assigned head checks and check in with the teacher.
Supervise children and make sure that all health and safety precautions are taken.
Have fun!

Guidance
1. Discipline/Guidance The word Discipline means: to train, or socialize. This is the attempts by parents or caregivers to alter a
child’s behavior or attitude. The Little Spartan Preschool follows positive guidance practices aimed at
helping the child develop the internal controls necessary to gain self-control, self esteem, the ability to
communicate with others, the ability to follow directions, and to learn and respect others. We work with
parents to incorporate family values within the guidelines of the State of Oregon Child Care Division.
A. Positive Guidance, Methods To Be Used
- Acknowledging appropriate behavior; Following at all times the Little Spartan
Preschool Discipline Philosophy
- Distraction/redirection-move to more acceptable activity/behavior
- Modeling behavior desired-example: We roll the ball
- Designing and maintaining a safe, comfortable and interesting environment to ensure
health while allowing exploration
- Setting clear limits that protect the child’s safety and welfare, the rights of others, the
environment and helping children learn to accept these limits
- Acknowledgment of feelings and frustrations, encouraging verbalization, and
discussing the rules and appropriate alternatives available
- Encouraging self-help skills and independence
B. Prohibited Punishments Include:
- Physical punishment- hitting, slapping, shaking, striking with a hand or object, pinching
or inflicting any form of corporal punishment
- Mental or emotional punishment such as yelling, name calling, ridiculing, or
threatening
- Confining a child in a locked area
- Forcing or withholding food, drink or necessary toilet use
- Punishing a child for lapses in toilet learning (accidents)

Little Spartan Guidance Philosophy
We have found that discipline problems occur less frequently if we are generally positive and encouraging with children. It is
important to:
1. Greet each child pleasantly
2. Get down to eye level when interacting with children
3. “Catch them being good.” In other words, make frequent but genuine positive comments to children about the
appropriate things they are doing. This applies to preschool children as well as to infants and the older toddlers.
Our philosophy is based on mutual respect which means that we:
1. Get down to eye level with children
2. Listen carefully to children
3. Do not talk about any children, including infants, in front of them
4. Do not label children as “good” or “bad”
5. Do not refer to a child’s activity area as a “mess”
6. Do not laugh at children
7. Do not interrupt children
8. Carry children as little as possible
9. Do not describe children to other adults or high school students in negative terms-
Example: “He’s being awful”
If discipline problems do occur:
1. Get down to eye level
2. Put your arm around the child/children in a comforting way to indicate that you care
3. Encourage each child to explain what happened. We want children to learn to express themselves with words, not fists.
4. Listen equally to all children involved.
5. Explain what is acceptable and what isn’t –example: “It is not okay to hit,” “You may not throw blocks here,” “You need
to ask her if you want to play with that”
6. See if the child/children can come up with a solution to the problem
7. If not, you suggest a solution
Possible solutions include:
1. Helping one child verbalize to another child what he or she wants
2. Offering a choice to a child – example: “Do you want to clean up by yourself or with me?” “You have a choice, you can
either join large group or sit in a chair, laying under the table is not a choice.”
3. Giving more attention to the offending child
4. Redirection a child to another area
5. Find a second toy for a child to play with
If a child’s misbehavior is serious and cannot be dealt with effectively in another way we use logical consequences such as:
If a child is throwing rice and has been told not to, he or she may not play with the rice for a period of time.
We do not:
1. Force children to share
2. Tell children “to be nice”
3. Use any kind of physical punishment
4. Deprive a child of food at snack time
5. Ban a child from an area or toy for longer than one half hour
6. Tease, belittle, mock, or otherwise embarrass children

Teacher’s Behavior Continuum (TBC)
TBC- Strategies to try in sequence when interacting with children.
Left side – least amount of intervention
Looking on Nondirective statement Directive statement Physical intervention
“James took the giraffe.” “What can you do/say “Tell James to
to get your giraffe back?” give your giraffe
back.”
Control: child Control: adult
Right side – the greatest amount of intervention
If there is a situation involves a dispute between two children deal with the “victim” (if there is one)
first.
Remember that the goal is give children the language tools to solve their own problems.
Physical intervention of the adult comes only after the child is unable to solve the situation on his/her
own.
Oken-Wright, P. (1992). “Tug of War to Let’s Make a Deal: The Teacher’s Role.” Young Children. National Association for the Education of Young
Children, Vol. 48, Number 1.
Active Listening Approach
STOP- what you are doing.
LOOK- at the person who is talking.
LISTEN- to what the person is saying.
RESPOND- to the person by:
Paraphrasing what they say
Asking clarifying questions
“I” Statement Formula
When (provide nonjudgmental description of behavior)
I feel (name your feeling)
Because (give the effect the behavior has on you or others).
What you want to happen next.
Or you may want to state your feelings first and follow this format:
I feel (name your feeling)
When (provide nonjudgmental description of behavior)
Because (give the effect the behavior has on you or others).
What you want to happen next.

Observations
Observations are a crucial part of understanding and assessing child development. In this course you will be
expected to do two observations per month. This means that you will need to manage your time wisely as you
also have additional responsibilities. The first month of preschool you will turn your observations into the
instructor. The instructor will evaluate and give feedback on the process. If corrections are necessary they will
need to be done within one week of receiving the feedback, corrected, retyped and put into the child’s
documentation notebook located in the preschool. You will print your name, date, and developmental domain
of the observation/assessment legibly on the check off sheet in the front of the child’s documentation notebook.
This notebook is a collection of formal and informal documentation of the preschool children.
The Documentation notebook is available on a daily basis for parents/caregivers to examine. Please be sure to
be accurate, neat, and timely when placing assessments into the notebook. Beginning the second month of
preschool you will put your finished observations directly into the notebook. The notebook will be evaluated on
a weekly basis to be sure that all children have updated records.

Lead Day and Lab Requirements
Every day that there is preschool is considered a lab day. Lab scores will be assessed according to the Daily
Lab Points Rubric. The maximum score to be earned in one day is an A. Lab scores will be assessed every lab
day, recorded, and officially entered into the computer at the end of each month.
Child Services II students will lead alone as head teacher for one preschool week at least twice during the
school year. The days, topics, focus questions, and project vary.
Child Service I students will lead as head teacher for at least one day during the year with a partner.
Lead days are very time consuming in both planning and implementing. It is therefore very important to pick a
partnership that will be complimentary and conflict free. The first lead day is the toughest and most frustrating,
please keep this in mind.
All brainstorming sheets, lesson plans, block plans, and material lists are due on the assigned due date. All late
lesson plans, etc. may lead to a forfeit in lead day opportunities.
At the end of each lead day/week the instructor will evaluate based on the lead day rubric and will also give
written feedback on the comment sheet. Each lead teacher will also evaluate his/her lead day based on the
rubric and then write a reflection of the planning process and lead day using the comment sheet questions as
guides. This reflection will be turned back into the instructor for a final grade to be given.

Portfolio Requirements
Every Child Service 1/2 student will complete a portfolio of his/her work. The portfolio is a compilation of the
work that the student has done throughout the years of both Child Services 1 and 2.
Child Services2I will be presenting their portfolios and senior projects. There will be a Senior Showcase
Evening in which all Focus Programs will present senior portfolios. This showcase evening and the reception
that follows, concludes the Early Childhood Education Focus Program of Study and Senior Project
requirements for the Child Services II students. It is recommended that the Child Service 1 students attend.
The portfolio is a representation of the work the student has done throughout the years in the Focus Program
and is used in the assessment of the Essential Skills/Career Related Learning Standards the student has
mastered, the course objectives, as assessment for the Portland Community College Credit that may be issued,
as well as the assessment of the graduation requirements for extended application of knowledge and may be
used in job and technical school interviews.
The portfolio has flexible guidelines that allow the student to showcase work but allow for personal creativity.
All portfolio items must be typed, mistake free and turned in on assigned due dates. The due dates are in place
to allow for corrections to be made and to alleviate unneeded stress. The final portfolio is due prior to the last
week of the school year. All assignments that are included in the portfolio will be assigned throughout the year
beginning in the first trimester.
{Please refer to the portfolio rubric}

Project Letter of Intent: The Project Proposal
Letter of Intent
The Project Letter of Intent is a formal letter that is addressed to your Focus Program Instructor, and identifies
what you’ll be researching (your paper) and what you’ll be doing or creating (your project) this term. It also
includes your paper's thesis statement. The letter follows a predictable pattern:
1st Paragraph
The first paragraph of the Letter of Intent reflects your interest in the topic you’ve chosen and
clearly shows how what you’ll be doing is something new for you. In other words, not only must
you describe why the topic is interesting, you must also show how it is a departure from anything
you’ve done previously. Explain how this topic is relevant to you and your life.
2nd Paragraph
The second paragraph of this letter describes—in detail—what you will be researching for your
7-10 page paper. This paragraph should state your paper’s tentative thesis and begin to
identify the various sources you plan on using.
3rd Paragraph
The third paragraph of the Letter of Intent begins with a transitional sentence that shows the
correlation between your paper and your project. The rest of the paragraph describes your
fifteen-hour project in detail, including what you will be doing to achieve your desired goals,
who will be involved as your mentor, and any other information crucial to the success of this
project.
4th Paragraph
The final paragraph of the Senior Project Letter of Intent is your disclaimer against plagiarism
and fraudulent behavior. You are to include at least two sentences that touch on your
understanding of plagiarism and fraud, and explain that you know the repercussions for these
acts.

SAMPLE LETTER OF INTENT
1234 Pine Avenue
Pebble Beach, California 93953
February 3, 2011
Mrs. Karinne Gordon
Pacific Grove High School
615 Sunset Drive
Pacific Grove, California 93950
Dear Mrs. Gordon:
I have chosen the area of interior design to study and research. Since I was young, my mother and I have
watched Home and Garden Television together and read design and architectural books. Our favorite show,
Divine Design, featured Canadian designer Candice Olsen who used a plethora of chic styles to suit her
customers varying tastes. I have always loved to draw, paint, and take pictures, so interior design became
another medium in which to express myself creatively. I took the liberty two years ago to sketch my room
design and bring it to life.
In my research paper, I will discuss the history of interior design, the different classes or styles of interior
design, what the interior design business entails today, and any other interesting topic-related information I
come across. My resources will come mainly from design books, magazines, and articles, but I will use internet
resources as well. However, I do plan to take a day trip to the diverse city of San Francisco to take pictures of
architecture and find inspiration. My friend’s sister took interior design classes in college, so I hope to interview
her or any other student or established local interior designer.
For my physical project, I plan to draft and sketch a bedroom from my home (which we are currently
remodeling) and virtually plan a design. I will make a board of sketches, use swatches of chosen fabric, and
have pictures of the lighting and furniture I will use. I plan to also sketch and create three other rooms: a
kitchen, bathroom, and closet/office space. I will use varying styles (i.e. modern, eclectic) for each room to
demonstrate my knowledge of design.
I understand the importance of using my own words and the consequences of plagiarism. On presentation day,
when I show my sketch boards to my audience and show them all the hard work I put into my project, I will
know it was done by my own efforts. I cannot wait to receive an “A” on my project and graduate with the rest
of my class May 27, 2011, with a smile on my face.
Sincerely,
Stellar Student

Dear [Recipient Name]:
Thank you for agreeing to help a student complete the Senior Project. You are joining a team of students,
teachers, parents/guardians, and other mentors, in a unique learning experience that will bring together the
efforts of the school and community in a positive way.
Your effort, time, and knowledge, are key factors to the student's success. You will assist, advise, and
encourage the senior as he/she completes this student-selected project, and fulfills this graduation requirement.
It is important that you be available to the student for help and consultation throughout the product development
phase of the Senior Project.. The student will need to actually meet with you at least three times:
• To discuss the project plans and receive your suggestions; to have you suggest books, magazines, trade
publications, manuals, or videos, that could be used for ideas, guidance and instruction, and research.

Source Evaluations
As you read for intrinsic or for research purposes you will find a surplus of resources including books, articles,
web sites, and journals. Not all of the information available to you is going to be useful or suitable. It is
important to make sense of what is out there by evaluating sources you find for suitability, appropriateness and
authority. Use the information below to help assess your resources.
When evaluating a resource ask yourself several questions: who, what, where, when, and why1. These
questions will help you with all types of media not just written text information.
Who First ask, who is the author? In asking this question you will be looking at the authority of the author. Is this
person someone who has appropriate qualifications? What are his/her credentials? What else has he/she
written?
The next who question should be; who is the intended audience? In asking this question you will be looking for
any bias and the type of language that is used. Does the language used show an intention for the audience to be
professionals in the field? Who will understand what is written?2 Who will benefit from this resource?
What What, refers to content. Again in asking what, just as asking who the intended audience is, you are looking for
any bias. Is the author showing objectivity? What point of view does the author represent? “Is the article an
editorial that is trying to argue a position? Is the website sponsored by a company or organization that advocates
a certain philosophy? Is the article published in a magazine that has a particular editorial position? Consult
resources which indicate whether a publication is known to be conservative or progressive, or is affiliated with a
particular advocacy group."1
When Asking when is very important at this has to do with the timeliness of the information. When was the source
published? If it’s a website, when was it last updated? Try to avoid websites that do not have a posting date.
As a rule of thumb, use only sources that have been written in the last ten years. If using older resources
indicate as to the reason; such as, no new research in this field.
Where Where is this resource recognized by others? Where did the author get his/her research and information? Be
sure to look for a bibliography or links to verify this information.
Why
This is an important question to ask. Why was this source created or published. Is it a primary or secondary
source? Primary sources present findings for the first time or original research. Secondary sources do not
provide new information but a compilation or evaluation of previously existing material/research.
Your source evaluations need not be lengthy but of quality information. Be sure to follow the SpartsWRITE
format of topic sentence (TS), concrete detail (CD), and commentary (CD). Be sure to use appropriate CM in
your evaluations.

Project Journal Guidelines Objective:
Maintain a neat, thorough, and well-organized record of progress on the Senior Project.
You will turn in your journal on a weekly basis in order for the instructor to check on your progress and assist in
whatever is needed.
The final copy of your log must be typed and properly formatted. The journal is part of the senior project
section of your portfolio.
Be sure to PACE yourself. Try to distribute your project work evenly over the weeks. Take a look at a
calendar with your mentor before you begin work. Take into account common obstacles to the project: costs,
weather, and other commitments such as school, extra-curricular activities, work and family.
Your journal entries are meant as a reflection on your work and what you have accomplished. Use the
questions and statements below as a guide to writing your entries, answer what applies.
1. Describe the progress you made. Explain using appropriate commentary and concrete detail. (Who did
you speak with? Where did you go? What did you learn? What did you see? What was helpful or not
helpful?)
2. Did you meet the goals you and your mentor set for the week? Please review the goals and explain.
3. What obstacles did you come across? Explain what you’ve have found interesting or helpful. What kinds
of “risks” did you take? In other words, how did you stretch yourself by experiencing something new
and different?
4. Assess and explain the amount of effort you have put forth this day or week.
5. Explain what your next goals are and how you plan to achieve them.
Sample Journal Entry Format and Content
Sally Spartan
Senior Project Journal
Project: Researching IDEA Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (Brief Summary/Description)
Date: Monday, September 29, 2008 (Date)
Amount of Time: 5:00pm-6:00pm 1 hour (Start time – End time – Total time spent)
The woman I spoke to from Early Intervention agreed to be my mentor and we met last week as per my last
journal entry. I followed her advice and began researching about the Individual’s with Disabilities Education
Act (IDEA) today. The Oregon Department of Education and US Department of Education websites were very
helpful and had a lot of information. I had no idea that some students had Individual Education Plans (IEPs).
This seems like a really interesting idea. I am not exactly sure what IEPS and 504s are really about so I think
that I’ll need to interview some Special Education teachers as well as Regular classroom teachers and see how
these IEPs are used in both types of classrooms. My mentor would be a good resource to ask as well. I’ll need
to set up time to meet and set up interviews. I don’t know any elementary or junior high school teachers so I’ll
ask Ms. Jett to help me find teachers to interview. In reading the IDEA information I really am having a hard
time understanding what some of the language means or I guess making sense of what it all means. The
wording is a bit confusing so I wrote down my questions and highlighted the parts that were confusing. I hope
that the people I interview will be able to help me make sense of it all. My goal is to get my questions answered
and interview people by the end of next week.
