Taking into account the theories discussed, the fieldwork conducted, the articles read, and the discussions that took place in the past eight weeks of ECH 320, your task is to create a cognitive concept map, along with an accompanying narrative explanation, based on your understanding of cognitive development in children from birth to age eight. The assignment consists of two parts.
Part 1-The Concept Map
This is a computer-generated, clearly labelled, four-part concept map. There should be one section for each of the age groups we discussed in class. At least some graphics/clip art/pictures should be included. For each age group, you should include major (6 to 8) and minor (6 to 10) theorists, concepts, and ideas related to cognitive AND language and literacy development. Connections between concepts, theorists, and ideas should be clearly labeled with arrows and verbs (some examples of verbs might be: connects to, builds on, supports).
The following website is a good resource on how to create a concept maps: https://www.libraries.psu.edu/psul/lls/students/research_resources/conceptmap.html
Part 2-The Narrative
You should also write a paper to accompany your map, discussing the concepts contained in each and explaining the connections. It should be at least four pages total (so about 1 page for each age group), and should include a title page, introduction, conclusion, and reference page in APA format.
Please refer to the attached rubric for specific assessment criteria.
age groups are:
Infant 0-1yr
1-3 yr
4-5 yr
5-8 yr
1 page for the map and 4 pages for the written part.

Guidance for Assignment – Supporting Learners with Mental Health Conditions.
Assignment Question:
Paul is an 8-year-old boy who lives with his mother, attends the 4th grade and is an A student. He is phobic of dogs. Paul has missed several school days and has been refusing to go to school for the past 3 weeks. He is awake almost all night worrying about going to school. Early morning, he starts screaming and crying that he cannot go, pulls his hair and experiences headaches and stomach aches. When he attends school, he is less anxious until bedtime. Members of his teaching team have noticed that he has become gloomy, stopped reading for fun and is increasingly asking questions in relation to health issues in adults. His mother suffers from tachycardia and has a history of panic disorders.
Answer the following questions:
-What more information would you look for if you were Paul’s Learning Support Educator (LSE)?
-What condition/s do you think Paul suffers from?
-What professionals and services would be available for him? Explain your reasons.
-Describe and discuss 1 long term goal and 2 short term ones to use while working with Paul. The goals mentioned can be both academic or behavioural. Strategies of how the goals are going to be achieved need to be mentioned.
• References have to be APA Style and not taken from websites but from published journals like those from google scholar. Recent ones preferred.
• For the paper it is preferred if you would use simple English, since I am not a native speaker of English. Thanks.

What strategies do you use to help you recall and retain information?

Metacognition is one’s ability to use prior knowledge to plan a strategy for approaching a learning task, take necessary steps to problem solve, reflect on and evaluate results, and modify one’s approach as needed. It helps learners choose the right cognitive tool for the task and plays a critical role in successful learning.

What Is Metacognition?

Metacognition refers to awareness of one’s own knowledge—what one does and doesn’t know—and one’s ability to understand, control, and manipulate one’s cognitive processes (Meichenbaum, 1985). It includes knowing when and where to use particular strategies for learning and problem solving as well as how and why to use specific strategies. Metacognition is the ability to use prior knowledge to plan a strategy for approaching a learning task, take necessary steps to problem solve, reflect on and evaluate results, and modify one’s approach as needed. Flavell (1976), who first used the term, offers the following example: I am engaging in Metacognition if I notice that I am having more trouble learning A than B; if it strikes me that I should double check C before accepting it as fact (p. 232).

Cognitive strategies are the basic mental abilities we use to think, study, and learn (e.g., recalling information from memory, analyzing sounds and images, making associations between or comparing/contrasting different pieces of information, and making inferences or interpreting text). They help an individual achieve a particular goal, such as comprehending text or solving a math problem, and they can be individually identified and measured. In contrast, metacognitive strategies are used to ensure that an overarching learning goal is being or has been reached. Examples of metacognitive activities include planning how to approach a learning task, using appropriate skills and strategies to solve a problem, monitoring one’s own comprehension of text, self-assessing and self-correcting in response to the self-assessment, evaluating progress toward the completion of a task, and becoming aware of distracting stimuli.

Thank you for your help. This paper has to be at least 1000 words, hopefully, 3 pages are enough. I’d like an in-text citation, please. Here are a couple of things I’d like the paper to be focused on. Maybe bring up Urie Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory and Sigmund Freud Psychodynamic Theory.
1. To examine how a child’s upbringing affects their psychological development.
2. To identify the key external factors that influence specific behaviors.
3.To examine how a child’s economic background, as well as their neighborhood/living situation, affects their development.
Again thank you for your help.

Discuss the benefits and the drawbacks of high stakes testing for students, families, districts and teachers.

/in /by

Since the No Child Left Behind Act was implemented under the Bush administration, there has been much attention drawn to High Stakes Testing. While accountability is a positive attribute to education, the topic is much more complicated than it seems. Today, the focus of education and instruction is on the Common Core and Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) teacher accountability.

Please discuss the benefits and the drawbacks of high stakes testing for students, families, districts and teachers.

Your opinion is important, so there is no one-right answer. Here are some questions to get you started:

Who benefits from High Stakes Testing-HST? Who does not?

How is teacher instruction and accountability affected by HST?

How does HST impact school districts?

How is the data from HST used to inform districts, parents, students and teachers?

Is the data from HST used effectively?

Is HST fair to students with disabilities?Be sure to answer each question clearly and adequately. as possible.

If using outside sources, make sure they are from the US and recent.
