Discuss the ways that portfolios are helpful for teachers
What will be an ideal response?
Portfolios help teacher look at children's work over time and gauge how they are developing–socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively. They give teachers a deeper understanding of a child and help guide planning. Portfolios can assist teachers in sharing their understanding about children with families and other professionals. Portfolios represent the child's strengths and potential and can be shared with the staff of the next program to which the child moves.

Pronouncements about the incidence of reading disabilities/delays are often heard in media presentations and found in the lay press. Sometimes they are on-target, but other times quite off-base. If, as an expert in your field, you are asked, "How many students in the U. S. have a reading delay?" a reasonable answer would be:
A. Accurate estimates are difficult to obtain due to differences in the degree of discrepancy used to determine if a student is eligible for special services, but a reasonable estimate would be about 25% of the school-age population. B. Approximately 1% to 2% of students currently enrolled in public schools. C. Approximately 30% of elementary school children and 35% of middle and high school students. D. Estimates are difficult to obtain because different programs use different criteria to determine whose problems are serious enough to need special services, but a reasonable estimate is that about 15% have some literacy difficulties, with 3% of these having serious needs.
