· How do you document the data collected during instruction?
· How do you communicate this information to other stakeholders (i.e., administration, parents)?
· How do you use this data to adjust instruction and modify behaviors?
· What strategies have worked for you in motivating early childhood children?
· What obstacles do you experience in motivating early childhood aged children (Birth to Age 8)?
· What classroom rules, routines, and procedures do you use?
· How do you modify the classroom environment to meet the different behavioral and cognitive needs of children with and without exceptionalities?
· What strategies do you feel are unique to your specific early childhood aged group?
· What classroom rules and procedures do you use to support differentiated learning and interventions in the classroom?
In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect upon your interview and explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.
