12 Child Growth & Development 1. Basic Child Development (continued) 3. Developmental Domains Level 1 Recognize that development occurs in multiple domains (e.g., social & emotional, approaches to learning, language & communication, etc.). CGD 1.3.1 Level 2 Demonstrate awareness that development can progress at various rates in multiple domains. CGD 1.3.2 Level 3 Categorize the multiple domains of development. CGD 1.3.3 Level 4 Critically examine and communicate to teachers, caregivers, staff, and families how development occurs across multiple domains at varying rates. CGD 1.3.4 Level 5 Articulate, analyze, evaluate, and apply current theory, research, and policies that facilitate in others an understanding of developmental domains and varying rates of development. CGD 1.3.5 4. Interconnectedness of Domains Level 1 Recognize that domains of development are interconnected. CGD 1.4.1 Level 2 Understand that active learning experiences can assist development in multiple domains simultaneously. CGD 1.4.2 Level 3 Develop and plan holistic learning experiences that capitalize on the interconnectedness of domains to promote development. CGD 1.4.3 Level 4 Critically examine and communicate to teachers, caregivers, staff, and families current theories and research that explain the interconnectedness of development across domains. Demonstrate how developmental principles, theories and research are used to facilitate early childhood development. CGD 1.4.4 Level 5 Articulate, analyze, evaluate, and apply current theory and research that addresses the interconnectedness of development across domains. CGD 1.4.5 5. Stages Versus Continuous Development Level 1 Recognize that development proceeds gradually and continuously. CGD 1.5.1 Level 2 Understand how continuous, incremental changes are related to broad developmental stages. CGD 1.5.2 Level 3 Plan educational experiences that support development as continuous versus stage- dependent. CGD 1.5.3 Level 4 Plan and implement practices that foster continuous developmental progression while using stages or benchmarks to guide expectations and plan curriculum. CGD 1.5.4 Level 5 Articulate, analyze, and evaluate practices that foster continuous developmental progression. CGD 1.5.5
