Case study 1:Ruby is a five-year-old who attends a kindergarten/preschool where you are the teacher. Her family has communicated to you that she enjoys physical activities and ball games but can become upset if she is 'losing' or having to wait for a turn. She engages with complex conversations and discussions but may not listen to instructions when asked to stop chatting and focus on her task. She also enjoys art experiences and is able to paint and draw with great detail and expertise. Ruby has had several outbursts since she began attending three months ago. On four separate occasions, she has physically struck out at other children in the group by punching and kicking them. She has also been noticed pinching other children and then running away so the child does not see her. These incidents have been observed and documented. Conversations with her family so far have been informal and they do not seem to think her behaviour is a concern.

When approaching your case study response, remember that you have a snapshot of information about the learner and therefore careful consideration is needed when providing strategies and identifying reasons for the behaviour.

Your case study response should include:

an introduction and conclusion

identificationof behaviours and analysis of the reasons why you think they are happening, using evidence to support this interpretationidentification, creationanddiscussionof a variety of effective strategies and interventions that could guide the child in the case study to self-regulate their behaviour within the learning environmentidentificationof how you would prepare and plan within the physical and social learning environment to contribute to the childs relationship with others and learningidentificationof family, cultural and ethical considerations related to the case, including a discussion about how you would support inclusive and ethical practices with families and communityidentificationof relevant support agencies that support the child/childrens learning and support teachers and family understandingsconsideration and discussionof policy frameworks, strategy and models, and how you would apply and make effective use of theseconsideration and discussionof the behavioural learning theories that have been used to guide your approaches to behaviour managementa reference list.

Throughout your teaching and learning journey, you will be required to use the nationally approved learning frameworks (the Early Years Learning Framework or the Australian Curriculum) or the approved learning frameworks for your state or territory. To help you further build capability in this area, and to prepare you for placements, at Swinburne Online you may choose to use the nationally approved learning frameworks or the approved learning frameworks for your state or territory in your assignments. For further information specific to your assignments for this specific unit, please seek advice from your eLAs and/or your Unit Coordinator.

EDU20004: Assignment 3

Case study template

Use the following questions to guide you as you structure your case study response:

What behaviours can you identify in the case study and why do you think they are happening? What evidence can you use to support this interpretation?

What strategies and interventions could you use to support the learner(s) in the case study to make decisions and guide their own behaviour?

How you would prepare the physical and social environment to contribute to the childs relationship with others and learning?

What are the family, cultural and ethical considerations related to the case study?

How can you make effective use of policy frameworks and external support organisations in your response to the case study?

What behaviour framework, strategy and model would you apply in response to your chosen case study?

What theories have you used to guide your approaches to behaviour management in your case study response?

Tips on how to complete Assignment 3

In this assignment, you're expected to model an inclusive response by demonstrating an understanding of the impact a teachers approach to behaviour can have on the student. It is expected that you will examine the case by thinking about the whole class as well as the learner as an individual, to demonstrate an understanding of the complexities and impact of your chosen strategies. You are expected to weave frameworks, strategies and models throughout your analysis rather than submit them as a standalone block of text.

Given the case is only a snapshot, it is important that you do not jump to conclusions but rather offer a range of inclusive practices and ways to respond to the case. A preventative and proactive classroom management approach is expected. To that end, individual strategies like a behaviour support plan are not considered appropriate for meeting the requirements of this assignment.

The template for this assignment will help ensure you meet the rubric requirements. You'll write your case study after you have answered the supporting questions in the template.Answering the questions should help most students pass the assignment. The questions can be included as headings or worked into the text, or simply used as a guide. Your work will be marked to the rubric/marking guide on theAssignment 3: Case studypage itself. Since the structure is not specified in the rubric you can structure your response the way you like (to improve flow or connection between ideas, for example).

The following ideas will help you unpack the requirements of this assignment.
