to individualize instruction and keep parents informed. |

Health/Safety. |

and lesson planning across all 68 Developmental Guidelines. |

NEW POCET™ - Infant and Toddler
POCET™ Infant and Toddler contains two complete
and separate easy-to-use programs: one for infants, ages birth to 18
months, and one for toddlers, ages 18 to 36 months. Each program allows
the teacher to track development by identifying developmental milestones
for infants and toddlers, and each program offers age- appropriate activities
and experiences. POCET™ Infant and Toddler will help to tailor interactions,
routines, materials and activities to each child's individual needs. |
| |
|
|
STEP 1
Identify Appropriate Sequence
of Developmental Stages |
|
Developmental Guidelines included in each program
provide a scope and sequence of the developmental stages that occur during
a child's first 18 months and also the stages and skills that emerge
during a child's toddler months. |
| |
|
|
STEP 2
Provide Support for Skill
Development |
|
Each program offers three suggested experiences or
activities that help caregivers and teachers support and encourage a child's
progress toward each new skill or behavior described in the Developmental
Guidelines. |
| |
|
|
STEP 3
Record Individual Progress |
|
Developmental Checklist Folders provide an easy way to
organize individualized data on each infant or toddler's progress. The Checklist Folder can be updated to record each child's progress, which can be shared regularly with
parents. |
| |
|
|
STEP 4
Use Data to Inform Care and Instruction |
|
POCET™ Infant and Toddler provides Individual Care Plans for up to 10 infants, and Group Lesson Plans for toddlers. Caregivers and teachers can use information gathered in the Checklist Folders and previous plans to create individualized Care Plans and Lesson Plans. |
