Careful teacher supervision and the
establishment of rules are keys to
preventing the chances of unintentional
injuries during indoor and outdoor play.
What is the most important quality of
a good free-play supervisor?
1. Someone who knows when and how to
intervene in settling a dispute or
preventing an accident.
2. Someone who enjoys children.
3. Someone who gets involved in the
children's play by talking and
asking questions.
4. Someone who goes over the rules
repeatedly with the children.
Wouldn't the correct answer be #1?
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Definitely "yes" but #2 is a "close second!"
Can someone else please give input.
I agree that # 1 is the best answer. A free-play supervisor must be able to mediate differences and protect the children.
You are correct! Answer #1, "Someone who knows when and how to intervene in settling a dispute or preventing an accident," is indeed the most important quality of a good free-play supervisor. This is because a good supervisor should be able to recognize potentially dangerous situations or conflicts among children and intervene appropriately to prevent injuries. They should have the knowledge and skills to settle disputes and ensure the safety of the children under their supervision.
However, it is worth mentioning that answer #2, "Someone who enjoys children," is also important. A free-play supervisor who genuinely enjoys being around children is more likely to be actively engaged and attentive during playtime. They are more likely to establish a positive rapport with the children and have a better understanding of their needs and behaviors.
So while answer #1 is the most important quality, answer #2 is also valuable and can contribute to the effectiveness of a free-play supervisor.
