Chapter 5:
Adapting for Individual Differences
1. Why are individual differences Important?
Early childhood teachers recognize and respect each child's unique needs and experiences. They contribute to inclusive learning environments, personalized instruction, stronger relationships and a broader worldview. By addressing individual differences, educators can better support children's overall development and create a more equitable and effective learning experience.
(NAEYC, 2009)
Teachers Must:
understand the range of individual development variation
adjust the pacing and timing for instuction of skills to be developed for each learner
treat and teach children as individuals
create high expectations for all learning
2. Where do individual differences come from?
Individual Differences come from...
Biology (nature) Hereditary or genetic contributions to human development including neurological development.
Transactional Theory of Development Although researchers initially believed that development was either NATURE or NURTURE, we now know that both biology and environment will affect development and influence each other.
Environment (nurture) Experiences in the environment affect how children behave and develop.
Adapted from Myers (2016)
Risk factors are inherited or experiential conditions that potentially contribute to negative outcomes for children
Risks
- living in poverty
- living with a single parent
- low education level of parents
- lack of nutrition
- child abuse
- disabitility
- maternal depression
- lack of community resources
- difficult child temperament
- teenage parents
- Development Delays
- Social Problems
- Health Problems
- Peer Rejection
- Academic Failure
- Dropping out of School
- Mental Health Disorder
- Criminal Behavior
Adapted from Myers (2016)
Resilience
Resilience refers to a child’s ability to overcome, adapt to, or minimize the damaging effects of adversity.
Protective Factors - both biological or experiential may minimize the potentially negative effects for children living in identified high-risk situations
- positive parent-child or teacher -child relationship
- social supports
- child's temperaments

Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences
Directions - Watch the video on the right about multiple intelligences.
- Read p.163-164 in your text.
- Take the online Quiz to see what your strongest intelligence is.
See if you agree with the results!
Individual Activity: Video: 4.15 minutes Reading: 5-7 minutes Quiz: 5-7 minutes
Apply what you learned?
1. What multiple intelligences did your test reveal? 2. Do you agree? If not, what multiple intelligence is your strongest? Think: How could you incorporate your strengths into a math lesson on shapes for young learners?
Activity: Respond to the questions: 5 minutes Pair Discussion: 5 minutes
Gifted and Talented children
Common Abilities:
- Curiosity and thoughtful questioning
- Unique problem-solving and application of prior knowledge
- Sustained attention, persistence, and strong memory
- Original imagination, wit, and humor
- Keen observation and rapid mastery of new concepts
- Desire for independent work and taking initiative
- Talent in storytelling and reading
Giftedness, once defined by a high IQ score, is now recognized across diverse areas like music, drama, and sports.
Gifted children need challenging educational experiences and individualized instruction.

Activity
Maya, known for her quiet observations and artistic talent, remained withdrawn during group activities. In Ms. Lee's Grade 1 class, Maya stood frozen during "Show and Tell," clutching her drawing close. While many students excitedly shared toys and experiences, Maya's voice trembled, and she remained silent...
- What other strategies could Ms. Lee have used to encourage Maya to participate in Show and Tell in a way that felt comfortable and confident for her?
- How can you actively identify your students' strong intelligences beyond traditional measures?
- How can you create a classroom environment that celebrates and values individual learning styles?
DAP project
- Revisit the PowerPoint on D2L.
- Discuss you progress on the DAP with the instructor and share if there are any concerns.
B . F. Skinner: Behaviorism Albert Bandura: Social Cognitive Theory Howard Gardner:
- Focus and self-control
- Perspective taking
- Communicating
- Making connections
- Critical thinking
- Taking on challenges
- self-directed, engaged learning
In contrast to developmental theories, which are linked to age-related changes in children, learning theories are assumed to apply in the same way regardless of the learner's age.
Learning is a change in knowledge or skill that results from experience or instruction.
