Example and Modelling
Example: Choosing the Developmental ProfileLearning Objective
Consider the age, strengths and challenges, family values, and the learner’s life and career goals in order to choose the appropriate development profile.
Context
The team has chosen the areas that will be the subject of an in-depth assessment. Mrs. Cole, the resource teacher, must now select the development profile appropriate to James’s needs.
Observe how Mrs. Cole has taken James’s age, strengths and challenges, family values and life and career goals into account.
| Factors | Notes | Appropriate development profile |
|---|---|---|
| Learner’s age | James is 6 years old. | Level 1 |
| Learner’s strengths and challenges in relation to the chosen area | James has no particular strengths or challenges in the chosen areas. A different development profile is therefore not necessary. | Level 1 |
| Family values | According to the parents, the skills in the areas chosen are not in opposition to family values. | Level 1 |
| Learner’s life and career goals | The skills included in the Level 1 profile are appropriate for the learner’s current life and career goals. | Level 1 |
Development profile chosen: Level 1
