The summative assignment is to develop a PowerPoint presentation designed for a parent meeting. The goal is to inform parents of how your program aligns curriculum plans with early learning standards, educate parents on Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP), provide examples of specific curriculum/activity plans, share assessment strategies, and advocate for the importance of play and socialization in young children’s learning.
Your PowerPoint presentation must include:
An introduction to early learning standards and the program’s vision for young children’s learning
Identification of developmentally appropriate practices for teaching young children
An overview of a lesson plan for each of the following:
Literacy
Math
Science
Creative Arts
Details outlining the importance of play and socialization in young children’s learning, growth, and development
Assessment strategies for the assessment of children’s learning, growth, and development
Resource list to include a list of books, web pages, and/or other resources used to plan curriculum
Summary of the importance of early learning standards and well-planned activities, and how these foster young children’s learning
Preparing the Final Project
You are encouraged to creatively address the material using graphics, visuals, charts, and/or graphs as appropriate. Slides should be designed to clearly and concisely address the material. The PowerPoint presentation must be formatted according to APA style, including a title and reference slide and citations within the slides as needed. You must use a minimum of three resources in addition to the course text. The notes portion of the PowerPoint slides may be utilized to provide additional information or explanation. Along with the PowerPoint, you must submit a word document title page within the dropbox
The Final Project must:
Must be ten to fifteen slides in length, and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Must include a separate title slide with the following:

This website will tell you everything you need to know about APA guidelines for the format of your paper (margins, etc.), as well as how to do reference and citation correctly.
To start your PowerPoint presentation for the parent meeting, you first need to decide on the overall structure and organization of your slides. In this case, since the assignment provides specific requirements for the content, you can create a slide for each of the required components outlined in the project description.
To begin, you should create a title slide that includes the title of your presentation, your name, the course name and number, instructor's name, and the date submitted. This slide should be formatted according to APA style.
For the content slides, you can use the following format:
Slide 1: Introduction
- Provide an overview of early learning standards and your program's vision for young children's learning.
Slide 2: Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP)
- Explain the importance of DAP in teaching young children and provide examples of DAP strategies.
Slide 3-6: Lesson Plans
- Dedicate one slide to each of the following subjects: literacy, math, science, and creative arts.
- Provide an overview of a lesson plan for each subject, including key objectives, activities, and materials used.
Slide 7: Importance of Play and Socialization
- Outline the significance of play and socialization in young children's learning, growth, and development.
- Share research findings and examples that support this importance.
Slide 8: Assessment Strategies
- Discuss different assessment strategies for evaluating children's learning, growth, and development.
- Explain how these strategies can be used effectively in the classroom.
Slide 9: Resource List
- Provide a list of books, web pages, and/or other resources used to plan curriculum.
- Format the list according to APA style.
Slide 10: Summary and Conclusion
- Summarize the importance of early learning standards and well-planned activities in fostering young children's learning.
- Conclude your presentation by highlighting the main points and their implications for parents.
In terms of formatting, it is recommended to use a clean and professional-looking font, such as Arial or Calibri. The text size should be easy to read, and 12-point font is a commonly used standard. Times New Roman is also acceptable. Ensure that your text is consistent throughout the presentation and avoid using excessive text on each slide. Keep the content concise and visually appealing by using bullet points, graphics, visuals, charts, and/or graphs as appropriate.
You do not need to include a separate explanation page unless specifically required by your instructor. However, using the notes section on each slide to provide additional information or explanations can be helpful. Remember to cite your sources within the slides as needed and include a separate reference slide in APA style at the end of your presentation.
