I'm a special educator whose classroom was next door to the homeroom of my hard of hearing son. I had him as one of my students for special education literacy three times a week. I was fortunate to have the professional background, personal knowledge, and treasured relationships with colleagues -- all of which helped me navigate the experience of…

Direct linkLoes Wauters; Evelien Dirks – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2024
Language, literacy, and social-emotional skills are important for successful participation in society. These skills develop through interaction with others and through explicit instruction. An important activity to contribute to the development of these skills in young children is shared storybook reading. For deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH)…

West, JoAnne M.; Wright, Tanya S.; Gotwals, Amelia W. – Reading Teacher, 2021
Background knowledge and oral language have long been linked to reading and writing outcomes. Discussions are one way to build both oral language and background knowledge. Nevertheless, designing discussions to support children's content knowledge and oral language development, as well as build discipline specific speaking practices, can prove…

Gagnon, Laurie – Childhood Education, 2023
The traditional education system is designed around time rather than learning, with a one-size-fits-all curriculum and students moving on after a set amount of time regardless of what or how much they have learned. Educators must rethink how time plays a role in education and instead put attention on student mastery, ensuring each student gets the…

Sack, Jessica; Thompson, Rachel; Wang, Odette – Art Education, 2022
"Communities of practice" is a concept employed by Etienne and Beverly Wenger-Trayner (2015) to refer to "groups of people who share a… passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly" (p. 1). In the museum context, a community-of-practice model provides educators the opportunity to…

Cole, David R.; Somerville, Margaret – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2022
This paper draws on the social ecology of Félix Guattari, to suggest that young children learn in complex social and natural situations, in this case 'getting muddy'. The notion of social ecology will be revived in this paper, to ensure that the human social world is embedded in and part of the natural world, with all its complexities, relations…

Culture is a key determinant of children's development both in its own right and as a measure of generalizability of developmental phenomena. Studying the role of culture in development requires information about participants' demographic backgrounds. However, both reporting and treatment of demographic data are limited and inconsistent in child…

Jacqueline Barfoot; Pamela Meredith; Koa Whittingham; Lachlan Kerley – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2024
The importance of parent-child relationships for child developmental outcomes suggests a need to incorporate a relationship focus into early intervention programs for children with developmental delays. Nevertheless, confusion exists about the definition and application of relationship-focussed interventions, and occupational therapists remain…

Michelle Grantham-Caston; Jeannete Bankston – Dimensions of Early Childhood, 2023
The early years of a child's life are a crucial time for brain development and stress can play a critical role in compromising its development (Zadina, 2014; Zull, 2011). Fink (2019) explains physical and mental stress as being characterized by heightened excitability and arousal, perceived adverse situation, and lack of control. This normal,…

Ly, Chu N.; Forzani, Elena E. – Reading Teacher, 2023
Many children bring rich multimodal literacy practices into their classrooms, with experience weaving between paper and digital texts. In order to support children's multimodal meaning making, teachers need first to understand the multimodal practices that children bring into the classroom in order to then develop instruction that builds on, and…

Kristen Secora; Marissa Ramos; Brittany Lee; Cheryl L. Shahan – Odyssey: New Directions in Deaf Education, 2024
Young children do not develop language skills by studying grammar and rules for forming sentences. Children's brains are wired to acquire language naturally; all they need is exposure. Many opportunities for language learning are lost to deaf children if they are not surrounded by other signers. In fact, the loss can be so severe that deaf and…

Farris, Shari; Purper, Cammy – Dimensions of Early Childhood, 2021
One of the most impactful and transformative practices early childhood teachers can engage in is the practice of inquiry. Inquiry requires educators to be both fully present and fully engaged in professional practice while adopting the mindset that the cycle of inquiry is never complete. In inquiry-based learning, the learner is at the center of…

Yu, Chi-Lin; Kovelman, Ioulia; Wellman, Henry M. – Child Development Perspectives, 2021
The possibility and nature of bilingual advantage for theory of mind (ToM), that is, young bilingual children outperforming their monolingual peers, have been discussed increasingly since the first research on the topic was published in 2003. Because accumulating evidence demonstrates a ToM advantage for bilingual individuals, in this article, we…

Correia, Nadine; Aguiar, Cecília; Amaro, Fausto – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2023
Children's right to participate in all matters and decisions affecting them has gained recognition in society.

Given the complex and polysemic meaning of participation,…
