Step 6: Review some specific information about how to support children in the classroom

Interactions with children (IMAC)
Everyone should be doing one of four things when interacting with children in the classroom:

Imitating the children (watching how the children use the blocks and doing the same thing)
Modeling new actions (showing the children how to make a house with the blocks or using the blocks to make a road)
Asking questions ("What color is that block?" "How many blocks did you use?")
Commenting on what the children are doing ("You are building a tall tower with those blocks.")

* Keys to success:

Get down on there level (both physically and conceptually)
- Physically: play on the ground and try to be at eye level with the children
- Conceptually: use direct, specific and age appropriate language – talk about things that are a part of the children's everyday experiences
Be animated – get excited about small things
Keep trying

Step 7: Review Child Abuse and Neglect Policies

EEU POLICY ON CHILD ABUSE and NEGLECT

In accordance with RCW 26-44.030, the EEU is required to report any and all suspected cases of abuse and neglect to Child Protective services within 48 hours (1-800-609-8767 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and 1-800-562-5624 after normal business hours, weekends and holidays). All EEU professionals are obligated by law to report any suspected incidents of abuse or neglect. Persons who fail to make a report on suspected abuse or neglect are subject to a citation for a misdemeanor.

In the event of any concerns regarding the possibility of physical, emotional, medical, or sexual abuse or neglect, the school nurse and/or the social worker document this information. The EEU CPS committee (nurse, social worker, principal, admissions coordinator, and classroom staff) is convened immediately. A report may be made to CPS. This incident is documented in the child's social work folder. Any staff member is free to report to CPS if he or she is in disagreement with the review committee.

The statement below is required by King County Division of Developmental Disabilities: Abuse, neglect, or exploitation of students by staff, volunteers, practicum students or others will be reported to Child Protective Services. Additional sanctions may include expulsion from academic program, disciplinary action, or dismissal.

The State Division of Developmental Disabilities must be notified if a formal CPS report is made for a child eligible for birth to three services. In these instances, reports will be made by phone to the King County Program Manager and the DSHS DDD Case Resource Manager.
