Question 1

Which of the following is NOT a reason that a teacher would want a child-report?&#10;A)a child has wandered from the playground&#10;B)a child has been hurt&#10;C)a child is having a seizure&#10;D)a child did not wash his/her hands before snack time

Accepted Answer

A child-report is typically used for emergency situations or important information that the teacher needs to be aware of immediately. Forgetting to wash hands before snack time is not an emergency situation and can be addressed during regular classroom routines.

Question 2

Which of the following questions does NOT help empower children to work things out?&#10;A)Which of you is at fault here?&#10;B)How could you solve this differently?&#10;C)What are your choices in this situation?&#10;D)What words could you use next time?

Accepted Answer

Asking which child is at fault can lead to blame and a power struggle. Empowering children to work things out involves focusing on finding solutions and taking responsibility for their own actions, rather than assigning blame. The other three questions focus on finding solutions and empowering children to make choices and use communication effectively.

Question 3

Which of the following is NOT a type of nonverbal technique for intervention?&#10;A)negotiation reminders&#10;B)facial expressions&#10;C)physical proximity&#10;D)gestures

Accepted Answer

Negotiation reminders are not a type of nonverbal technique for intervention. Instead, they are a verbal technique used to keep negotiations on track and to remind individuals of previous agreements or commitments. The other three choices (facial expressions, physical proximity, and gestures) are all examples of nonverbal techniques for intervention.

Which is NOT a step of problem solving with parents?&#10;A)describing the situation in terms of a problem caused by the child&#10;B)generating multiple solutions&#10;C)discussing the implementation of solutions&#10;D)meeting again

Accepted Answer

Describing the situation in terms of a problem caused by the child is not a constructive step in problem-solving with parents. Effective problem-solving approaches involve identifying the problem in neutral terms without assigning blame, which encourages cooperation and collaboration.

Question 8

The first degree in putting choices to children is&#10;A)inviting choices&#10;B)requesting choices&#10;C)commanding choices&#10;D)demanding an action

Accepted Answer

Inviting choices allows children to feel a sense of control and empowerment while also teaching them decision-making skills. It is a respectful and non-threatening approach that encourages communication and cooperation between adults and children. Requesting choices also falls under this category, but it implies a slightly more authoritative tone and may not be as effective in promoting independence and autonomy in children. Commanding or demanding choices, on the other hand, can create a power struggle and hinder a child's growth and development.

Question 9

Which of the following is NOT a follow-up strategy?&#10;A)reflective listening&#10;B)report box&#10;C)guidance talks&#10;D)reconciliation

Accepted Answer

Reflective listening, guidance talks, and reconciliation are all common follow-up strategies used to address issues and concerns raised during initial discussions or interactions. The report box is not a follow-up strategy, but rather a tool for individuals to anonymously report concerns or incidents.

Question 10

Which of the following is NOT a democratic life skill taught in the encouraging classroom?&#10;A)the ability to see one's self as a worth individual and a capable member of the group&#10;B)the ability to solve problems ethically and intelligently&#10;C)the ability to suppress strong emotions&#10;D)the ability to be understanding of the feelings and viewpoints of others

Accepted Answer

Suppressing strong emotions is not a democratic life skill taught in the encouraging classroom, as it goes against the principle of allowing individuals to express their emotions in a safe and respectful environment. The other options (A, B, and D) are all democratic life skills taught in an encouraging classroom.
