As classroom leaders, teachers have many opportunities to encourage everyone to respect people of all backgrounds and abilities, and promote a positive classroom environment that supports learning and decreases disruptive behavior. Teachers should reflect on their own values and beliefs in order to understand any underlying effects these beliefs may have on their instruction and interaction styles with students. Such awareness can help teachers be more objective, have more empathy and understanding of others, and set the tone for a respectful and cooperative learning environment.

Early Developmental Issues in Child Development   The prenatal period of human development is a time of rapid growth and change. The development that occurs during pregnancy and at birth can significantly influence individuals throughout their lifetime. Similarly, development during infancy is fast-paced and affected by both genetic and environmental factors. Development moves from a perceptual to a cognitive emphasis as babies impose meaning on what they perceive. Deprivation during this period has profound physical and psychosocial effects on children. Imagine that you are a developmental expert meeting with a group of first-time mothers at three different points in their experience. For each meeting, provide a link to a resource that provides further information for expectant and new mothers on the topic addressed in the meeting. In 150-250 words each, answer the following prompts. Meeting 1 During the first meeting, the mothers are in their first or second trimester. You have been asked to speak about the effects of the environment on prenatal development. What information would you present to these newly pregnant women? How would you help them to ensure the healthiest pregnancy? Meeting 2 During the second meeting, the same group of mothers are in their third trimester, and preparing for delivery. You have been asked to present information regarding labor and delivery options, including home births, birthing centers, and hospital births. Address the advantages and disadvantages of each option. Discuss the role of families in the birth process, and the pros and cons of using medication during labor and delivery. Meeting 3 In the third meeting, the same mothers have given birth. Summarize typical physical and cognitive milestones of children at 1, 2, and 3 years of age. Include simple strategies the mothers can implement to promote the growth and well-being of their young child. Use 3-5 scholarly resources to support your research. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. More Information about the assignment: The assignment is to write three mini-essays. You are going to imagine you are an expert in child development and you are going to present three different informative topics. For this assignment, APA Style formatting is a requirement.  One other reminder regarding this assignment is to make sure you address all the components of the assignment including the websites for additional information for each section. Please make sure you are extending the conversation perhaps offering a personal observation or experience, or referencing real-world examples, current events, or presenting further research you have conducted on the topic. Here are a few more suggestions: ·         Interaction in classroom discussion that demonstrates deeper or broader thoughts about a topic, rather than just rephrasing what the textbook has presented on the topic. ·         Posts that encourage further discussion and ongoing dialogue with other students and the instructor in the class. ·         Asking additional, relevant questions about the week’s topic that help us continue the discussion.
