In this week’s Discussion and Application assignments, you will continue to work on your Final Project. In this Discussion, you will describe your sampling strategy for your chosen research proposal.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Application: Exploring Career Opportunities in the Early Childhood Field
This week you are exploring positions in the early childhood field and using job titles, job descriptions, and information on job prospects to expand your awareness of career opportunities. This Application will increase your knowledge about specific jobs in the field and offer firsthand experience with online resources for locating available positions. As you have learned, some jobs require advanced degrees or experience. To assist you in thinking about a career ladder, you will be exploring positions that require an undergraduate degree and those that take additional training or education.
The Application is divided into two parts. For Part 1, you will visit the following job-posting Web sites: the NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) Early Childhood Career Forum and the Employment Opportunities page on the Child Care Exchange site. You will identify potential jobs from among the actual positions advertised on the sites to complete the Positions in the Early Childhood Field Career Exploration Sheet and will post the completed sheet in the Doc Sharing area of your classroom by the end of Day 3.
Note: This part of the assignment will be used to inform the Discussion on Day 4 this week.
For Part 2 of the Application, you will respond to reflection questions based on your research and submit these, along with your completed Career Exploration Sheet, by Day 7.
To complete this Application, do the following:

FEMA maintains National Situation Updates, designed to provide emergency managers with information and graphics drawn from myriad agencies, governmental, media, and other. The materials provided can be used to promote situational awareness or potentially have other applications.
For this unit’s discussion, visit http://www.fema.gov/emergency/reports/index.shtm. The situation updates start with today’s date and work backward. The site also lists archives for reports extending back to 2005 (and including Hurricane Katrina). Visit the report from June 7, 2011. Note how subordinate elements overlap or are incomplete and should be read with others. For example, “fire activity” lists a roll up of fires across the country, but “Fire Management Assistance Grant” details a few truly significant fires. Also, “flooding” is captured and reported by five separate regions, but the “Significant National Weather” details reveal that there are many rainstorms headed to those same regions.
Assignment Guidelines
In 4–5 paragraphs, address the following:
Read through the reports of the last week. What trends or patterns are worth noting for the nation?
What information is particularly important for the region your county is located in?
Do you anticipate that your county will be specifically impacted by any of the conditions that are listed for the week?
Why or why not?
In answering this, consider how conditions elsewhere might ultimately impact your region or county. (Be creative and think about environmental, political, economic, or other factors that are normally beyond an emergency manager’s concerns but certainly in the realm of community leaders.)
Visit reports from May 10, 2011.
Which is the most important event of the day, in your opinion?
Do any of the incidents have meaning for your county—how so or why not?
Name and detail at least two significant events of that day with which you heard little or nothing.
What might each of these incidents mean for that region, in terms of consequences beyond the precise incident?
Examine the section on disaster declaration activity for this day. Research independently one of the disaster declarations that is named (specify which one) and give details about its genesis and status. Reference the source that you used for your information
Family dynamics play a major role in how children develop. These influences include structure, expectations, parenting styles, and involvement. To understand more about how childhood experiences with your family have influenced current identification of self, take a few minutes and think back to those days.
Analyze the role that family structure, expectations, parenting styles, and involvement of caregivers played in your development.
Reflect on your experiences and share any that you are comfortable sharing. You can use questions such as the following to guide your reflection:
What was the best thing that your family said about you or did for you? Try to remember one exact day when that was said or done for you. Which person did this? Remember now what you felt then. When do you feel this way now?
Did you have a nickname? How did you feel about it?
Did family members tell you what you would end up being or doing? Was it what you wanted to be or do? How did you respond?
How do you think your family would have described you to a close friend of theirs? What were they most concerned about for you?
Would you do or react to things differently now than you did then? Why?
Make sure you evaluate your experiences in the context of major theories and concepts of cognitive, social, and physical development during middle childhood. Support your responses by citing information from the online notes and textbook and other scholarly sources.For example, describe the cognitive stage you might have been in at the time of specific events, according to Piaget, Erikson, or Freud. How did this influence how you interpreted the events? You can also discuss the parenting style that you think was used by your parents/caregivers.
