The class that I am teaching is an CTAE(Career Technical and Agricultural Education) Course in Early Childhood Education. The Early Childhood Education course is the foundational course under the Early Childhood Care and Education pathway and prepares the student for employment in early childhood education and services. The course addresses the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors associated with supporting and promoting optimal growth and development of infants and children.
My students are eager to learn what it takes to become a teacher and work with children but the lack the supplies needed to fully engage in the course.
The Nasco babies will provide my student with a chance to engage in a real world experience of what would happen with infants in the Early Childhood classroom and in parenting. According to Nasco the simulated baby:
1. Offer three different tending programs typical of most babies, to simulate normal baby-tending needs along with fussy periods in each program.
2. Provide programmed tending events that are unpredictable to the student, but easy for the teacher to monitor, unlike other simulators.
3. Tots cry, coo, and burp in response to appropriate care.
4. Demand student’s attention for periods of 5 minutes to 30 minutes for each tending occurrence. There are 25-27 tending occurrences within each 48-hour time frame (for a total of 7 hours of care).
5. Provide teacher with complete control of the child care experience.
6. Includes a panic key for quieting difficulties without discontinuing the entire simulation.
7. Alert teacher to a student’s abuse, panic, or tampering with the control box.
8. Anatomically correct.
My goal for the students is to learn how to care for a infant and their needs making students work force ready for the classroom.
