In deciding that the best way to teach a child to clean up is to limit the kinds of materials allowed, which facet of judgment making is being applied?

• A. Goals
• B. Standards
• C. Strategies
• D. Ethics

Answer: (C)

Limiting the kinds of materials allowed is about choosing a plan or method to teach the child how to clean up. This is strategies because you’re deciding on a concrete approach to reach the goal—creating a structured, manageable way for the child to put things away. By narrowing what exists and where it goes, you shape the steps the child follows during cleanup, guiding the learning process. It’s not simply about what you want to achieve (the goal), nor about meeting certain standards of tidiness, nor about ethical considerations—it's the purposeful plan you adopt to reach the outcome.
