Another POCET Language Example

POCET provides four basic activities for each of the 68 Developmental Guidelines which provide a scope and sequence of skills for Language, Literacy and Mathematics, plus five other domains of learning.

Here is another example for the Language domain:
Open-Ended Questioning
Asking open-ended questions encourages children to use more complete sentences and use more words in their responses. Instead of asking questions that can be answered with yes, no or another one-word answer, ask questions that require a complete response. Example: Instead of saying, "Would you like to go outside to the playground?" ask, "What would you like to do when we get outside?"

POCET Physical Health and Safety Example

POCET provides four basic activities for each of the 68 Developmental Guidelines which provide a scope and sequence of skills for Language, Literacy and Mathematics, plus five other domains of learning.

Here is an example for the Physical Health and Safety domain:
Throwing and Catching
Beanbags are usually much easier than balls to teach throwing and catching. Although basic throwing seems to be easy for most children, throwing at a target and catching an object seem to require more skill. Have each child choose a partner. Instruct the child to throw the beanbag gently, underhand, toward the chest of his or her partner. Chest level throws are easier for young children to catch. Start the activity with the partners standing quite close to each other. As they become more proficient in throwing and catching, have them move farther away from each other. Do not use a ball for this activity until the children can effeciently throw and catch with a beanbag.
