Assignment 2: Report and Plan -Diversity Case Study Submission date: Thursday 8th May, 2014 Length: 2,500 words Weighting 50% Outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4 Structure of the assignment In the assignment, you are required to analyse the issues with respect to the inclusion of the child who is described within an early childhood setting, prepare an individualised plan (or IEP) and discuss the key issues/recommendations in a report. A structure for the case study report is presented. Its purpose is to prepare you for articulating your position at a case meeting with parents and other professionals. Case Data Analysis (Appendix A) Using your assignment 1 ( order number 27059 and see scan of assignment 1 attached to new order with the feedback of the lecturer!) child study data, prepare a one-page brief analysis of child development and learning, family and environmental strengths and issues (Attach as Appendix A). This background data assists you to frame your report paper (see blank analysis pro-forma). Individual Plan/IEP (Appendix B) Write an Individual Plan or IEP of about two pages for this child on the basis of the analysis (Attach as Appendix B). Case Study Report Brief Introduction and context (approximately half page) Provide an introduction to the case study and related contextual issues. Be very succinct, as the key issue here is the legal/policy frames within which you must operate for this case. Very brief introduction to the case and the key issues in relation to the child who is the focus of the presented situation. Background to the social, legislative and policy environment (e.g., identification of the wider environmental factors that may influence the availability of resources and support services). Students can assume that the situation is within their local context (e.g. Australian state or territory, or other national context in which they currently work). Very brief outline of how the assignment will be structured, including the primary issues to be discussed, to lead the reader. Try to engage the reader with a powerful introduction! Body of the Report (use the headings below) This section of your report must reflect your knowledge and understanding of relevant content areas studied in the unit (i.e., inclusive principles and practices) and these must be related explicitly to the case study in all areas. Use the headings provided. This main body of the assignment should address the following areas. The questions are presented to provide guidance and focus for your research and writing. There may be some questions you do not use, or there may be other areas that could be addressed. Use theoretical and research literature evidence to support your ideas (in case someone challenges your ideas), but do not use direct quotes. Position on inclusion: How do you think a regular early childhood program is meeting this child’s educational needs? What could be the benefit to this child and others? What evidence is there that inclusion is effective for the child? What are the key factors that are necessary for successful inclusion in this setting? Family and parent participation: Why are family considerations important to this child’s inclusion? How would the principles of family-centred practice/family strengths focus apply in this case? How could you work effectively with this family? How will you communicate as educational partners? Program environment and service delivery: What are important principles in implementing an inclusive program in this case? What issues are important for the assessment of the child? What is the relevance of an Individualised Plan (IEP) to this child? What might be its features and focus areas? What are its proposed core strategies? How will it be made truly inclusive? Collaboration and teamwork: What are professional and community supports that the teacher needs for inclusion to be successful in this case? What are key features for effective teamwork and consultation to support inclusion for this child and family? What other professionals and services might be accessed in this particular case, in the local context? Conclusions Very briefly review the key issues (one paragraph). Reflection: In a text box, comment on your own learning and major insights gained in the analysis and the readings. Appendices: A) Brief case analysis; B) Individual Plan or IEP References Please attach a reference list in APA style.
