Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A program with a varied pace and moderate intensity, with a focus on both academic and development goals using varied methods, would provide opportunities for Ken and Troy to learn conflict resolution skills, as well as engage in activities that promote social-emotional development. This approach allows for flexibility and individualization, which can help foster a positive learning environment where both children's needs can be met. Programs with drill-based academic goals or repetitive activities may not allow for the necessary opportunities for social-emotional learning and may not support the development of conflict resolution skills. The suggestion that other program components have no impact is not accurate, as the overall structure and approach of a program can have a significant impact on children's growth and learning.
