ScheduleSchedule What happens if the schedule is not developmentally appropriate?
The “stool” topples over, right?
A developmentally appropriate schedule is crucial to a quality early childhood program!

Temporal EnvironmentTemporal Environment (Schedule)(Schedule)Think of a time or a situation
when it felt like time was your enemy!
Think of a time or a situation when time was on your side!
Which did you prefer? Why?Do children and adults have
the same perceptions and needs regarding time and scheduling?◦ Too many times we focus on the
schedule from our perspective rather than on the children’s needs

Scheduling the DayScheduling the DayWhat does an appropriate schedule have to do with learning? How is it related to the psychological environment?

Free PlayFree Play Free play is time that children spend in learning centers, choosing from a variety of activities
During free play, the role of the adult is to interact with children, supporting their play and scaffolding their learning
ECERS-R - Children should be engaged in free play a substantial portion of the day

SACERSThis scale does not define the
time needed for free choice activities or outdoor time
It does say that six-twelve year olds need these daily!

Group TimeGroup TimeFor younger children, group time
should be a choiceIf many children are choosing not
to participate in group time, examine group time! Don’t blame the children!

IMPORTANT! The quality of
supervision, interactions, and discipline are key to the entire learning environment
The classroom should look very different from when you were in school…new research…things have changed…remember our medical analogy from Week 2?

Remember…Remember…
Requirements can be met in many different ways… classrooms that score high do not look the same
![Page 21: Mano a Mano 3 Phase II Internet Course Week 5 - Topic III Early Childhood Program Structure Drs. Ellen Marshall and Cathy McAuliffe](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514237e550346ec488b592b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
And also remember…And also remember…
No program will be perfect…use the scales as a guide for change
IMPORTANT!!! The average total score is more important than are the scores on single requirements
