    Cyp Core 3.2 – Promote Child and Young Person Development

    When assessing a child you must be careful to take into account confidentiality before carrying out an observation you must have parents and the settings permission and not to leave confidential material lying around they must be secured in a locked cabinet. Only talk to authorized personal about confidential material. This confidentially can only be broken when a child is at real risk. When carrying out observations you must take account of the child’s wishes and feelings if a child is upset or wants you to stop then you must stop. Ethnic, cultural and linguistic backgrounds when we asses a child we must take account of their ethnic, cultural and linguistic back ground as these can play important roles in how the children acts and the understanding of the words being used. Disability or specific requirements need to be taken in account when carrying out any assessment /observation or a child can be underestimated and the observation will be unreliable. Reliability of information no one can get an accurate picture of development if the information is not accurate this can harm the child’s development and the underestimating of their potential. With observation we must understand the limitations of each type of observation method. Avoiding bias when observing children we must remain completely objective also having 2 people observing the child at the same time can produce a more accurate account. The best way to avoid a bias objection is to use a mix of methods such as a sticky note to write down the observation and a tick list…

    Audit Checklist

    This Appendix includes guidance for reviewing the Office of Inspector General’s (OIG’s) attestation engagements conducted in accordance with Government Auditing Standards (GAS), Chapter 6, and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (AICPA’s) Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE). When an auditor conducts an attestation engagement under generally accepted government auditing standards (GAGAS), the engagement must be conducted in accordance with the SSAEs and additional GAGAS standards. This appendix is not intended to replace auditor judgment, and while comprehensive, the peer review team may also wish to consult with other guidance as warranted. That guidance includes the SSAE and the AICPA’s peer review checklists for attestation engagements (aicpa.org/members/div/practmon/systemreview.asp). In this regard, there are three AICPA checklists covering AICPA requirements and GAGAS: (1) Agreed-Upon Procedures Engagement Checklist – PRP §20,900; (2) Other Attestation Engagement Checklist – PRP §21,000; and (3) Supplemental Checklist for Review of Agreed Upon Procedures and Other Attestation Engagements Performed in Accordance With Government Auditing Standards (Yellow Book) July 2007 Revision – PRP §21,120A.…

    Essay On Early Literacy

    Early childhood literacy experiences can contribute heavily on a child’s early successes and difficulties once they reach formal schooling. Early literacy experiences can really put a kid in front and be more ready once they start school. Parents play an important part to this as they control a lot of a child’s early experiences with literacy. The culture of where kids grow up also can either benefit a kid’s literacy or it can put the kids behind other students. These experiences can be the differences of a kid passing his early English courses or failing them.…

    Promote Children and Young Persons Development

    You can assess a child’s development by doing a variety of different observations; narrative, tracker, language and video but you must also take into account confidentiality. Before carrying out observations you must get permission from the parent’s and ensure them that they will be the only ones viewing their child’s observations which are stored in their personal folders. It is also important that you only talk to authorized personal about the child, the only time confidentiality can be broken is if the child is at risk. It is also important to respect the children’s wishes and feelings. If you are observing a child/young person they may feel uncomfortable or upset and would like you to stop. It is also important to take into account the child’s/young person’s ethnic, linguistic and cultural backgrounds as these can play an important role in how the children act and the understanding of the words being used, for example if they come from a different county, they may say a word in their language. We must take into account disability or specific requirements, ensuring the activity you are observing them on is within their development stage or the child will be underestimated and the observation can be unreliable. It is important that the information is reliable as their won’t be an accurate picture of the child’s development, if the information isn’t reliable the child’s development may be in harm and the underestimating of their potential abilities. It is also important to avoid being bias towards children, you must stay objective when assessing children, a great way of doing this is to have another person observing the same child to ensure the information is accurate.…

    Dibels - Child Observation

    The assignment is to observe a child ranging in age from two to six years old completing a language arts activity. The child I observed for this assignment is an almost three year old (34 month) neighborhood girl. I will call her Emily. She lives in a house with both her parents; they are a middle class family. Emily is not in preschool yet, she stays home with her mom, but they regularly attend playgroups and music and gym classes where she gets to interact with other children her age. Emily is very outgoing and very talkative. In my opinion, her speech development is advanced for her age, she passes all the developmental language-related milestones for her age group and a few for the next age group as outlined on page 97 of our textbook (Machado, Jeanne M., 2007. Early Childhood Experiences in Language Arts - Early Literacy, 8th Edition). Also, her speech is very clear. Emily loves books and already recognizes all uppercase letters.…
