The Handout Packet is required for ECE 12. For those of you who want to download the complete
Handout Packet, it is available here in PDF format. This file is very
large (8MB) so it will take a long time to download on a dial-up connection. You have the option of purchasing it in the bookstore.
ECE 12
Fall, 2008, Handout
Packet The following links are supplemental materials
that will be of interest to curious learners. They are organized in the
order of class presentations:
- Professionalism:
Accreditation and
Accreditation
Overview from the NAEYC website
- Health and Safety: I have included web sites with
information on the dangerous infection, MRSA: Shasta County Department
for Public Health has prepared a
MRSA Fact Sheet, and the
Center for
Disease Control has general information. You can avoid this disease
with scrupulous hand washing.
The Center for Disease Control and
Prevention also provides many
growth charts for infants, toddlers, children, and adolescents. Of
particular interest are the height for weight charts for
infant boys and
infant girls. Height for weight charts are an excellent indicator of
excessive weight gain or loss in a young child. These charts are also
available in Spanish and French.
Parents and adults who care about children are rightfully concerned
about autism, a serious developmental disorder. The causes of autism are
unknown at this time, but researchers now know that IMMUNIZATIONS DO
NOT CAUSE AUTISM. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention also
has excellent information at their
Autism Information Center.
You may want to give parents a copy of the excellent
review of the
research on immunizations and autism; this handout may help parents
and caring adults decide to protect their children with vaccinations.

- Attachment and
Observation
- Developmental Theory,
including physical, social, emotional, language, and cognitive development.

The Three-Step Process:
Self-awareness: Being aware of your own beliefs and attitudes and
how they affect your work.
Careful Observation: Seeking to understand the other person; the
meaning behind their words and actions, their beliefs, attitudes and
expectation.
Flexible Response: Using what you know about yourself and others
to respond in the most sensitive and effective way.
Berry Brazelton, MD, has identified 11 Touch Points: periods of
development in an infant when parents are particularly prepared to learn
new information about their baby. These 11 periods are pregnancy,
newborn to 3 weeks old, 6 - 8 weeks, 4 months, 7 months, 9 months,
12 months, 15 months, 18 months, 24 months, and 36 months.
