Case Study
You have a child in your setting called Matilda who is 44 months old and who is never interested in communicating with you. You have observed her in conversation with her peers but she chooses not to speak to the adults at the setting.You know she can hear and understand you because she follows instructions but you are not able to evidence that she has verbally contributed to a conversation with you.
- Is this a problem?
- How would you plan to introduce sustained shared thinking opportunities for Matilda?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your tutor.
