A. Conceptual link [Please do not delete these instructions]: Provide a very brief summary of the article’s content, then describe
two to three ways the information in this article explicitly links to the foundational information for this course. In other words,
how does the article’s content link to specific ideas in a corresponding textbook chapter, session’s PowerPoint lecture/class
activities, types of assessment instrument, procedures, or recommendations, etc.
McCormick and Noonan’s article discusses ecological assessment and planning. Ecological assessment uses the activities and
what is expected of the child to make decision about the child’s level of functioning and to make plans for how deficits can be
addressed. (1) The information that was included in this article reminded me of the different ways of observing as was discussed
in class and as we read in chapter 5 of our text (Wortham). To conduct an ecological assessment the teacher must observe. (2)
Before a child can have a plan put in place to help with behaviors, we need to know what exactly is the behavior as well as its
function. In this same class lecture, we discussed the ABC analysis, so I see ecological assessment as another way to determine
ecological factors (antecedents) what behaviors a child (target behavior) is showing and what function it may be serving
(consequent event). (3) The article also described a practical way that recording of data may take place. I particularly liked the
fact that it reminds us that each piece of the process needs to be assigned to individuals so that no one is thinking someone else is
doing it and so no one does it. Chapter 6 of our text discusses checklists and rating scales as data collection methods. Based on
both the article’s information and this chapter, I know that as teachers we should get used to collecting and using data to make
decisions about children.

B. (Original) Generalized example [Please do not delete these instructions]: Generate one to two original, not otherwise discussed in
class, example(s) which are intended to describe a real or hypothetical situation where the concepts from the article applies. In
other words, think about and use your own or hypothetical or real experience working with young children explain the contents
of the reading. Response should be presented using complete sentences.
Many times as teachers we “have a feeling” that a child’s development may not be progressing as it should. If a child is
exhibiting behaviors that you the teacher would like to see changed, an ecological assessment could be conducted to learn more
about these behaviors, their purpose and function. For example, I have a 3-year-old student who is new to the class and I noticed
as being very “distant” and non-verbal, but there is nothing in his record to indicate a diagnosis relating to these behaviors.
When I contacted parents, they reported that he is the same at home and that he points when he wants to communicate with
them. At that point, I began an ecological assessment, using observation to learn more about him. Based on this observation in
his learning environment and activities, I could made a plan for him. This process is in essence an ecological assessment and
planning. Another example where ecological assessment was helpful what when my student JC’s IFSP was coming up for review
and I (his teacher) wanted to include information about how he interacts with his peers in his classroom. I set aside a short
period each day to complete the checklist given to me by the school psychologist, but I wad specific notes about his interaction
with peers.
