Last week, you explored a variety of influences on parenting practices and styles, including instances when children are subjected to maltreatment defined as: “intentional harm to or endangerment of a child” (Berns, 2013, p. 144). This week, you focused on the role of early childhood programs in the lives of young children and families. One responsibility of early childhood educators, as well as any professional who works with young children and their families, is to be aware of requirements for responding to suspected child maltreatment and to support children and families to try to prevent child maltreatment. This Action Plan will help you gain information and ideas to do both.
Action Plan Professional Scenario: Imagine that you are an early childhood professional who has recently moved to the state where you are currently working. You know that it is your responsibility to be aware of state child maltreatment regulations. You also want to be prepared to recognize, intervene, and if at all possible, try to prevent child maltreatment.
Before you create your Action Plan together, consider:
Follow these steps to create your Action Plan.
1. What You Need to Know: Learning About the Reporting Procedures in Your State
States vary in detailing “mandated reporters” as well as official procedures for reporting. Visit the Prevent Child Abuse America Web site to find out the regulations in your state*: http://pcadb.cyberwoven.com/public/chapters/index.cfm
At this site, click on your state, then click on the URL. Take notes on the following:
*If you are unable to locate information for your state at this Web site, check your state board of education’s Web site, or do a Web search, for specific guidance and requirements for reporting child abuse in your state.
2. Ideas and Advice: Checking Resources
According to the NAEYC, early childhood educators are in a unique position to support children and families and, through these efforts, play a critical role in addressing the needs of children who are at risk for abuse and neglect.
Review the “Supporting Parents and Preventing Child Maltreatment” article. Also review at least one other of the following resources.
Review the “For Service Providers” sections (see the Index for pages).
Take notes on specific ideas and strategies that you, as an early childhood professional, would feel comfortable with and capable of using with children and families.
3. Taking Action: Addressing Child Maltreatment to Support Children in Need
With knowledge and ideas in hand, you’re ready to take action. Organize your Action Plan in two parts, to ensure you cover your two key roles—as a mandated reporter if you suspect abuse, and as an advocate concerned with the well-being of the children and families with whom you work.
Part I: How to Report Suspected Child Abuse in [Your State]
In your own words, explain the procedure for reporting suspected child abuse in your state. List the following:
- Criteria to use for determining when abuse may be present and a report must be made
- Steps to follow in making a report
Part II: Strategies for Helping Children and Families
Based on the resources, think about the kinds of needs families that have experienced abuse or are at risk for abuse may have in each of the following areas:
- Knowledge of child development and positive parenting practices
- Information on available community resources
- Reassurance for children and nonabusive parents
Then, for each area, explain:
- A specific need that a parent or child may have
- Two specific strategies or suggestions you could use or recommend for addressing that need
As you write your plan:

Genesis 12:1-3, Eph 2:11-22; Revelation 21:22-26
How do these Scriptures speak to aspects of diversity and how do they shape your understanding of people? Are there other Scriptures that help you conceptualize diversity?
Then, briefly discuss how the Corey video assigned this week chose to address aspects of diversity in the group. From a group perspective, what do you think was helpful to the group and why?
Video: Watch “Challenges of Addressing Diversity Issues” (Found in Chapter 7 of the Cengage Module)
Write two to four pages explaining the following:
You will be writing about an organization you currently work for or have worked for in the past and applying the background materials to your own experience. So the first step in this assignment is to choose an organization that you have worked for that you want to write about.
Think about your own experiences at this organization, and how motivated you were and what factors increased or decreased your motivation. Then write a three to four page paper covering the following issues:
1. What steps did management at your organization do to motivate workers?
2. Did management seem to apply Theory X or Theory Y for their motivation strategies? Or did they use elements of both?
3. What needs in Maslow’s hierarchy does management at your organization try to address?
Viruses are typically not classified as true living organisms by biologists. Viruses have DNA or RNA and protein but are not able to replicate until they infect a host cell. Within the cell they must use the enzymes and molecular building blocks the host cell provides to replicate. Viruses cause disease in all living organisms and they are able to persist outside the cell for extended periods until they can once again infect a suitable host cell.
1. How viruses differ from true living organisms such as bacteria and fungi. They infect the same as any other pathogen that causes disease. Live and obtain the necessary nutrients they need from their hosts but still are not classified as true living organisms and why you believe this is true. Contrast the differences and similarities that viruses have with living organisms such as bacteria and fungi.
2. While we are on the subjects of “unusual” organisms, also comment on prions. How do they compare with viruses and other microbial organisms? What diseases are they thought to cause?
Don’t have to be formal, just answe those two questions directly. Thanks
