Based on the Arkansas Child Development and Early Learning Standards: Birth through 60 Months, this document focuses on ages 37 through 60 months. Some indicators (knowledge or skill that one would expect to see in a child) will begin developing in infant and toddler years, but are not be mastered until children are older than 36 months. AR CDELS Strategies and Activities: Preschool is organized by the nine AR CDELS Domains of Development and Learning: • Social and Emotional Development • Cognitive Development • Physical Development and Health • Language Development • Emergent Literacy • Mathematical Thinking • Science and Technology • Social Studies • Creativity and Aesthetics Each domain is further divided into more specific areas of development or learning, which are called domain components. Each domain component consists of learning goals related to the component. These are the specific areas of development and learning in which children should show progress. Each learning goal consists of one or more strands that represent subskills within the learning goal. Within each strand, there is a progression of expectations for what children should know and be able to do at different ages in early childhood. Each step in the progression is called an indicator, which outlines the knowledge or skill that one would expect to see in a child related to that learning goal within a specific age range. It is important to note that because typical child development and learning varies widely from child to child, many indicators span multiple age ranges. For example, when an indicator spans the birth through 8-month and 9- through 18-month age ranges, that means the behaviors and skills will be developing and observed for most children somewhere between birth and 19 months (AR CDELS, 2016). The Arkansas Child Development and Early Learning Standards Committee established a set of guiding principles that informed the development of the standards. Those guiding principles are: • The foundations of early development and learning begin before birth. • Families are children’s first and most influential teachers. • Child development and learning unfold within each child’s specific social and cultural context. • All areas of development and learning are equally important and influence a child’s school readiness and life success. • Early learning standards should be grounded in the science of child development and early learning. • Children’s learning happens through the active, playful exploration of their environment and participation in meaningful interactions with others. • Children learn in a variety of ways and develop at varying rates. • Children can demonstrate mastery of the standards in a variety of ways. • Early development and learning standards are not a curriculum or assessment, but provide the areas of and expectations for development and learning to which curricula and assessments must align. • Children develop and learn best in environments that are psychologically and physically safe and that foster strong relationships between caring adults and children. • Early development and learning standards should be central to the state’s early childhood professional development and higher education systems and a range of supports should be provided to facilitate teachers’ understanding and use of the standards. Strategies and Activities: Preschool page |v Early development and learning is complex and interrelated, resulting in many potential ways to discuss and describe phases of development and learning. To make this complexity more manageable, the birth-through-60 month age span is divided into five age ranges and the standards are organized into progressively smaller groupings of content (AR CDELS, 2016). • Birth through 8 months • 9 through 18 months • 19 through 36 months • 37 through 48 months, and • 49 through 60 months The strategies and activities in this document are separated by age range. Each child is different and there can be a wide range in children’s development and learning. The Arkansas Child Development and Early Learning Standards: Birth through 60 Months has highlighted behaviors and signs to watch for that might indicate a developmental delay or behavior issue. Where applicable, those warning signs have been listed at the start of each Domain of Development and Learning section. Companion publications AR CDELS Developmental Rating Scale: Birth through 36 Months and AR CDELS Developmental Rating Scale: 19 through 60 Months have been created and can help the early childhood professional identify developmental delays and/or behavioral issues. The AR CDELS Developmental Rating Scales as well as the AR CDELS Strategies and Activities are available for download on Early Care and Education Projects For the Provider webpage under Arkansas Curriculum and Supplemental Publications.

Little Rock, AR: Author Strategies and Activities: Preschool page |vi Reading and Using Strategies and Activities: Preschool Strategies and Activities: Preschool is based on the Arkansas Child Development and Early Learning Standards (CDELS): Birth through 60 Months and is designed to support teachers in helping children meet learning goals. It is organized by Domain of Development and Learning, Domain Component and Learning Goal. The strategies and activities within this document were developed for preschool children (37-60 months) from the indicators located within each learning goal in the Arkansas CDELS. Strategies and Activities: Preschool is arranged by Domain of Development and Learning. Each Strand is listed in the left column and the associated strategies and activities are in the middle column labeled Teaching Strategies. The right column has examples of how those teaching strategies might be implemented. Throughout the text there are referrals to the resource section, indicating there are additional resources that accompany those strategies or activities. These additional resources are located at the end of that Domain of Development and Learning. Domain Component Learning Goal Strand Resources are available Strategies and Activities: Preschool page |vii Strategies and Activities: Preschool page |viii Social and Emotional Development It is vitally important that Arkansas’s early childhood professionals focus on the social and emotional development of young children.

  • Captain Tom's Bespoke Regimental Blazer
    Captain Tom’s Bespoke Regimental Blazer Captain Tom Moore’s local tailors, Souster & Hicks wanted to gift the hero with new bespoke regimental blazer and trousers, to coincide with his 100th birthday celebrations, but also as a fitting tribute for the war veteran’s VE day celebrations. The heroic war veteran raised over £32 million for the NHS, provided a beacon of hope for the world at such a dark time and is now a Guinness World record holder for the oldest person to have a number one single. Souster & Hicks, a family tailoring business in the beautiful village of Woburn in Bedfordshire is just down the road from Captain Tom’s residency of Marston Moretaine. The family is made up of husband and wife duo, Geoff and Laura Souster, and their two sons Wes and Scott, and Daughter-in-law Natalie. They have well over 100 years of experience between them and tailor to the same high standards as the world-renowned Savile Row tailors. The outfit was made by their team of craft tailors, and London based Benson & Clegg helping with the badge and having the buttons specially hand engraved with Captain Tom’s regiment, all pulling together to get this made in time. Captain Tom Moore commented: “It’s a beautiful bespoke blazer, and one that I will wear with pride for the rest of my days. The craftsmanship and the finer details that have been put into the blazer is astonishing for just 10 days’ work. I was concerned that it would be hard for them to get my measurements and fit me, due to the social distancing regulations, but they done fantastically, and it fits me like a glove.

  • 2019 Professional Appearance and Dress Code.Pdf
    Professional Appearance Team members should present a professional image in their appearance and actions in order to Own the Moment and Champion Excellence. Policy This policy is to set a minimum guideline for team members in regard to appearance. Our ability to Champion Excellence and inspire trust from our patients and families is dependent on presenting a professional image in our appearance and in our actions. Communication professionals say people form an impression of someone within seven seconds of their first meeting. If our team members look and act professionally, patients and families have greater confidence in our ability. We want our team members to not only do their best, but to also look their best as they continue to Own the Moment and mirror the professional image of our organization. Some of the guidelines (such as footwear) reflect safety and health issues for our team as well as patients, while others work towards Fostering Unity. An important goal of this policy is consistency. When everyone interprets the policy in the same manner, the result is consistent and fair administration. Departmental dress codes which exceed hospital standards must be followed. The Professional Appearance policy must be followed whenever at work and on the clock, including trainings and professional development. Any medical, religious or other exceptions to the “Professional Appearance” policy must be approved by Human Resources. Documentation to support reasons may be required. Permanent medical exceptions must be updated annually. Procedures General Guidelines Your attire should always project a well-groomed, professional appearance. If you have a question or concern about whether something is appropriate to wear, the best rule is not to wear it, or discuss it with your manager or supervisor before coming into work.

  • Archaeological Tree-Ring Dating at the Millennium
    P1: IAS Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp469-jare-369967 June 17, 2002 12:45 Style file version June 4th, 2002 Journal of Archaeological Research, Vol. 10, No. 3, September 2002 (C 2002) Archaeological Tree-Ring Dating at the Millennium Stephen E. Nash1 Tree-ring analysis provides chronological, environmental, and behavioral data to a wide variety of disciplines related to archaeology including architectural analysis, climatology, ecology, history, hydrology, resource economics, volcanology, and others. The pace of worldwide archaeological tree-ring research has accelerated in the last two decades, and significant contributions have recently been made in archaeological chronology and chronometry, paleoenvironmental reconstruction, and the study of human behavior in both the Old and New Worlds. This paper reviews a sample of recent contributions to tree-ring method, theory, and data, and makes some suggestions for future lines of research. KEY WORDS: dendrochronology; dendroclimatology; crossdating; tree-ring dating. INTRODUCTION Archaeology is a multidisciplinary social science that routinely adopts an- alytical techniques from disparate fields of inquiry to answer questions about human behavior and material culture in the prehistoric, historic, and recent past. Dendrochronology, literally “the study of tree time,” is a multidisciplinary sci- ence that provides chronological and environmental data to an astonishing vari- ety of archaeologically relevant fields of inquiry, including architectural analysis, biology, climatology, economics,

  • ARTIFACTS and FEATURES DENDROCHRONOLOGY This
    4/28/2004 ARTIFACTS AND FEATURES DENDROCHRONOLOGY This article is one of an occasional series discussing matters archaeological, especially with reference to the Maturango Museum. In previous articles we have talked about why chronologies are important in archaeology, and about a few qualitative techniques for establishing dates or sequences. Today we move on to another topic, quantitative chronological techniques. The first quantitative technique to be developed and applied in archaeology was dendrochronology, or tree-ring dating. It was developed in 1928 by A. E. Douglass of the University of Arizona, an astronomer who was studying sun-spot cycles. He theorized that climatic moisture was affected by the 11-year sun-spot cycle, and concluded that the evidence should be observable in tree rings. In the course of the studies he verified that the climatic sequence of wet and dry years does in fact leave a detectable pattern in the tree ring record: in general, wet years lead to wide rings and dry years to narrow rings. The important byproduct of this for archaeology is that the sequence of wet and dry years in a given locality never repeats itself, so the tree rings contain a unique signature which allows correlating between an old log and a new one, as long as there is some overlap. Douglass, to his credit, realized that his data would be useful to archaeologists, who at that time had no methods for assigning quantitative dates. Qualitative methods such as pottery seriation, stratigraphic excavation, and marker artifacts allow construction of sequences, but not absolute dating. Dendrochronology, for the first time, would allow an archaeologist to assign a date to the event of cutting down a tree to build a structure or use as fuel.

  • MJ O'brien, RL Lyman
    M.J. O'Brien, R.L. Lyman Seriation, Stratigraphy, and Index Fossils The Backbone of Archaeological Dating It is difficult for today's students of archaeology to imagine an era when chronometric dating methods were unavailable. However, even a casual perusal of the large body of literature that arose during the first half of the twentieth century reveals a battery of clever methods used to determine the relative ages of archaeological phenomena, often with considerable precision. Stratigraphic excavation is perhaps the best known of the various relative-dating methods used by prehistorians. Although there are several techniques of using artifacts from superposed strata to measure time, these are rarely if ever differentiated. Rather, common practice is to categorize them under the heading `stratigraphic excavation'. This text distinguishes among the several techniques and argues that stratigraphic excavation tends to result in discontinuous measures of time - a point little appreciated by modern archaeologists. 1999, XIII, 253 p. Although not as well known as stratigraphic excavation, two other methods of relative dating have figured important in Americanist archaeology: seriation and the use of index fossils. The latter (like stratigraphic excavation) measures time discontinuously, while Printed book the former - in various guises - measures time continuously. Perhaps no other method used in archaeology is as misunderstood as seriation, and the authors provide detailed Hardcover descriptions and examples of each of its three different techniques. ▶ 109,99 € | £99.99 | $139.99 ▶ *117,69 € (D) | 120,99 € (A) | CHF 130.00 Each method and technique of relative dating is placed in historical perspective, with particular focus on developments in North America, an approach that allows a more eBook complete understanding of the methods described, both in terms of analytical technique and disciplinary history.
