Self-directed learning is an effective way to increase engagement in the classroom and reduce behavior problems. As an early childhood educator, what is important to consider when you are supporting young students in identifying self-directed learning goals that align with your identified learning objectives? Why are these important to consider?
Receiving feedback on their learning helps students to understand what they have learned, and what changes they may need to make to improve their learning. A part of facilitating student self-directed learning includes providing the student with opportunities for both teacher provided feedback and self-monitoring feedback on learning. What do you consider to be the pros and cons of each type of feedback and why?
Responding to the social problems that affect the populations you serve as a social worker is only one aspect of the professional responsibility you must undertake. The ability to be proactive by identifying disparities and gaps in policies is just as important. However, in order to be an effective advocate and to fully participate in the policy process, it is important that you be able to connect theory and research to policy-making decisions. Having the knowledge and skills to implement new policies and policy alternatives without creating new disparities is a skill all social workers need to possess.
For this Assignment, consider what you have learned about the possible causes of the social problem you selected.
