Philosophical Development
In regards to punishment Deandres believes that his punishment arises from the fault of
others and not himself. In addition, that he is unfairly punished or that he is asked to do
something someone else doesnt have to. Initially, going to a new school this year he was
anxious about meeting and being around new people but quickly adjusted to his new
surroundings making many new friends. Kohlberg realized that moral reasoning occurs in stages
throughout a childs development (Kohlberg, 1981 p.34). His experience being in a new school
and the changes in their finances has created a different approach to life. As before he was not
concerned about having small things such as, extra money for movies and snacks. He now
questions, Why work so hard if there is still not enough leftover? Is it worth all the hard work?

been able to play lately. Teachers report problems with focusing in class, comprehending

Intellectual Development
He is a thinker, sometimes over analyzing things. He asks many questions at home and
takes particular interest in how his brother or sister has responded to the situation before taking a
specific stance. Under Piagets theory intellectual development takes place in stages that move
smoothly from one to another (Piaget 1964 p.34). Deandre has moved from thinking in terms of
information he learned from his parents, personal experiences and siblings to information he has
learned from his teachers and peers to making his own choices based on all those experiences.
He knows what he needs to do to past an upcoming test however, in his own way he will choose
how to prepare and study for that test based on what he learned in the past.

Recommendations for teachers

Creating specific, clear study aids to use will help him focus on what is important.
Allowing time for new material to be absorbed before being called upon in class will also help.
Another recommendation would be to touch base with him every couple days to see how
organized his notes and reference materials are. When he knows that more than one person is
looking for him to perform at a certain level his priorities become aligned with the actual goal
however, sometimes he chooses to find his own way. Providing guidance and focus for him will
help him help himself when he knows what is clearly expected of him.
