Question 1

◦ pay attention but not have a good understanding of what remembering entails.
◦ listen attentively and engage in strategies to remember the information.
Question 2
Which one of the following statements provides the most common criticism of the national emphasis on a standard set of learning outcomes for young children?
◦ Preschool teachers are focusing more on grades than on learning standards.
◦ Good teachers are often dismissed because the children in their classrooms are from low-income urban environments with limited resources.
◦ Learning outcomes may lead teachers to focus more on academic achievement than social development and children's interests.
◦ For children of this age, assessment scores are unreliable and show little about achievement or development.
