ILTS 206 Sub-Area 1 Practice Question #17

Students in a second-grade class are studying transportation. During this unit, the teacher provides students with a checklist (view checklist). Every day or two, the teacher reviews each child's checklist and guides the children in keeping their checklists up to date. This strategy is likely to be especially effective for helping the students:

manage their time effectively.begin to assume responsibility for their own learning.identify their personal learning style.spend increasing periods of time engaged in productive tasks.

Correct Response: B

One of an early childhood teacher’s key responsibilities is to promote young children’s growth as independent learners. By routinely providing children with opportunities to work with partners, make independent choices, and monitor their own activities, the teacher encourages children to assume responsibility for their own learning. Providing children with such opportunities on a regular basis promotes children’s development of independent habits of mind.
