ADDRESSING LEARNING GAPS
Application / Assessment
101.1
Name: Merana F. Esteban
Course/year: BEED-IV
Directions: Answer and discuss the issues called for.
1. What is considered to be a low priority on both policy and practice?
 The reality that developing a comprehensive, integrated approach to addressing
barriers to student learning continues to be low priority among policy makers
because if we continue this, participants underscored the need for analyses of
gaps related to current policies and practices for preventing and correcting
learning, behavior, emotional, and health problems.
2. What is considered the problem on developing comprehensive approach for addressing
barrier to learning?
 A barrier to learning is anything that prevents learners from fully engaging in
learning. A student who has left their textbooks because he cannot complete
their final online assessment because of lack of understanding of lessons, when
learners cannot fully participate in a learning activity, they cannot be truly
engaged in learning.
3. What are the five fundamental areas on major gaps for addressing basic to learning?
 Measure to Abate Economic Inequalities/ Restricted Opportunities
- It is essential to underscore tat inadequate to abate poverty undermine
efforts to improve educational outcomes for all youth.

Primary Prevention and Early Age Interventions
- It is about fostering healthy development, promoting public health and
safety, developing programs for community recreation and enrichment in
poverty impacted areas.

Identification and Amelioration of learning, Behaviour, and Health Problems as
Early as Feasible
- It may become aggressive outreach to find the problems and ameliorate
them including home involvement in solving youngster’s problems and in
fostering ongoing healthy development.

Ongoing Amelioration of mild-moderate Learning, Behaviour, Emotional and
health Problems
- Prolonged curtailment of funding for education and public services has
significantly reduced the availability of programs that help ameliorate mild to
moderate problems.

Ongoing Treatment of and Support for Chronic/severe/pervasive problems
- Increasing volume of youngsters with mild-moderate problems is
overwhelming the relatively few corrective startegies society has established.
Thius mean that the significant number of young people receive little or no
special assistance.
4. What are the issues that policy must consider if collaboration is to play a major role in
improving how we address barrier to learning?
 Policy simply calling for interagency collaboration to reduce fragmentation and
redundancy with a view to greater efficiency is insufficient and in the long run, it
well may be counterproductive to improving intervention effectiveness.
5. How does collaboration and partnership help in addressing barrier to student learning?
 Collaboration is about using resources in better ways to evolve the type of
comprehensive, integrated approaches that are essentials for addressing the
complex needs of the society and its citizens in the most cost-effective manner.
6. What is the next line of defense in addressing barriers to learning?
 The next line of defense in addressing barriers to learning involves primary
prevention and early age interventions (e.g., fostering healthy development,
promoting public health and safety, developing programs for community
recreation and enrichment in poverty impacted areas).
7. What are the major gaps in this area-discuss.
 quality child care and pre-kindergarten education - The early years of a child
offer a unique opportunity to shape their development. Children as young as
three years of age are exposed to the social values of giving and sharing, not just
with gifts or tangible materials, but also through interaction with others.




home involvement in fostering healthy development and in solving
youngster's problems - Social and emotional development involves several
interrelated areas of development, including social interaction, emotional
awareness, and self-regulation. Parents and families play an important role in
nurturing their children’s social and emotional development. Supporting
children’s social and emotional development can be both rewarding and
challenging at the same time.
health care for young children - as the medical services that are provided by the
medical health professionals to the children having disease or infection.
personalized instruction in the primary grades - its better understood as a
“personal” way to “learn.” Thus, personalized learning is student centered. It’s
an educational approach where the learner drives their own learning.
recreation and enrichment programs for all youth - designed to provide our
youth with useful skills as they participate in an activity. The goal of these
programs is to teach our youth to be self-sufficient.
open enrollment options to provide a range of qualitatively good school
program opportunities from which students and their families can choose a
good fit

Application / Assessment
101.2
1. Write a summary of the major gaps in the identification and amelioration of
learning behavior of emotional and health problems as early as feasible.
Aggressive outreach to find the problems and ameliorate them including home
involvement in solving youngsters' problems and in fostering ongoing healthy
development.
The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life,
when a child’s brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences
are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children
build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and
well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts
parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents’ lives;
generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of
happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger.
2. Discuss the ongoing amelioration of mild-moderate problems in addressing
learning gaps. What are the makor gaps in this area?
Policy/practice is needed that goes beyond such current emphases as
increasing standards and fostering collaboration; a primary focus also must
be on ensuring high quality its integrate school community programs designed to
provide ongoing academic support and other related services needed to help those who
are performing poorly at school; this includes assisting families so they can play a
stronger role in helping their youngsters learn and perform more effectively; (Achieving
high quality programs involves transforming the education support programs and
services schools own and operate to ensure (a) integrated, programmatic functioning
and (b) as much as feasible, a meshing of school and community owned resources. The
idea is both to use combined resources more effectively in addressing barriers to learning
and to evolve a comprehensive approach for doing so.) It also ensuring quality programs
for youth not taking college preparation courses in high school -- either because they are
uncertain about higher education or have decided not to go on.
(Examples of options include courses in computers and information technology;
programs related to graphic, performing, and culinary arts; high school academies
focused on careers in business and the health fields.)
3. What are some implications of Addressing barrier to learning?
Social and cultural barriers - peer pressure and family background.
Practical and personal barriers - transport; time; disability; caring responsibilities;
childcare, finance, cost, age, language, and lack of access to information.
Emotional barriers - lack of self-esteem or confidence due to low skills levels; negative
personal experience of learning; previously undetected or unaddressed learning
disabilities; social problems such as unemployment, abuse or bullying.
Workplace barriers - time off, access, discrimination, unsupportive managers, shift
work, and isolation.
