Ncfe Swis Assignment 1
SUPPORT WORK IN SCHOOLS
Unit 01 Child and Young Person Development
As part of my preparation to complete Unit 1 Child and Young Person Development, I have attended taught sessions, undertaken research using books and the internet, taken part in group exercises and discussions and considered case studies. I have also completed a worksheet and received useful feedback from my tutor.
All this has given me a better understanding of the theories behind child and young person development and the stages of development.
This information has been extremely useful, giving me the underpinning knowledge needed to carry out my role of supporting teaching in the classroom. It has also improved my self-confidence especially in the classroom.
In this assignment, I will discuss the expected pattern of development from 0-19 years, including examples of how development can be promoted in children and young people and how different aspects of development are interrelated and can affect one another.
I will look at factors which can influence the child or young person’s development and discuss the potential effects of different types of transitions on children and young people’s development and ways in which the individual can be supported at such times.
I will also briefly examine the psychological theories put forward by some influential researchers and illustrate the development of the National Curriculum.
I will discuss observations and assessments and their importance in education.
I will consider the role of communication for those who are involved in supporting teaching and learning.
I will also look at the importance of the ‘holistic’ approach when engaging with pupils and their rights to be treated fairly and as individuals.
1.1 Describe the expected pattern of children and young people’s
Development from birth to 19 years to include:
a) Physical development
b) Communication and intellectual development
c) Social, emotional and behavioural
