2 Clock Hours of Early Childhood Education

Consider All Children 

Page 20

It is important to promote gender equality in physical activity programming. Activities should be gender neutral so that physical activity is equally promoted in both boys and girls. To encourage girls participation in physical activity, early childhood educators can introduce children to physically active women (athletes, coaches, officials and leaders in sport). 
An inclusive environment is one that provides the opportunity for children of all abilities and interests to participate in all activities. Teachers can create inclusive environments by recognizing the inherent value of each child, and the right to take risks and make mistakes, the need for independence, self-determination, and the right to choose.
 
In inclusive programs, the following are considerations:
  • Activities are modified and individualized as necessary Expectations are realistic yet challenging
  • Assistance is provided only to the degree required
  • Dignity of risk and availability of choices are respected and fostered 
Promote Caregiver-Parent Communication 
To enhance children’s development at home, child care providers can share information with parents about the importance of daily physical activity. Teachers can share the activities of the child(s) day and offer ideas to parents to continue physical activity at home to enhance the child’s development in all areas. 
Implement Assessment and Evaluation
Observe children during movement activities for the purpose of assessing motor skill development, individualizing instruction, planning lessons with objectives, evaluating program effectiveness and identifying children with special needs.
