Having professionalism immediately sets you apart from everyone else. You have the early child care experience, education, and still thrive to continue your education and learn even after you’ve finished school and have gotten your degree. Having professionalism is important because if parents are need of a child care program, they will looking for programs that serve quality care and education to their children, and the best way to have a quality care center is to continue development and research, staying up to date, and providing the best for the children that attend the center.
According to Early Childhood Education Today by George S. Morrison, it states that professionalism is built upon individual responsibility, integrity, and ethical practices that demonstrate respect for all children and their families. There are four concepts of professionalism which include, personal characteristics, educational attainment, professional practice, and public presentation. There are a variety of key components that contribute to professionalism in a classroom and we are going to discuss many of those today.
I have many reasons I want to become an early childhood teacher.one of them, is that I think that the early childhood education is fundamental to build up the base for children’s future formation. It is the foundation for the new generations and their future.
Early childhood education is the first defined step of the national education system in Turkey, and it is optional if the school district does not offer any educational settings in the place. However, if found within the school district, it is not optional since the legislation change 2008. This means that early childhood teachers would be the first formally trained and role model person our students in Turkey will meet at schools. Preparing these early childhood teachers as classroom researchers and expert collaborators who can learn from one another is essential when the range of knowledge for teaching has grown so expansive that it cannot be mastered by any individual and when students’ infinitely diverse ways of learning are recognized as requiring continual adaptations in teaching and ethics.
“Universal preschool” is a need for American’s because the cost of sending a child to a preschool is too much for most families (Wolfe and Scrivner 113). Roughly 49.3% of children of the ages three and four in America are enrolled in preschool (Percent of Population Ages 3 and 4 who are Enrolled in School: Census 2000 para 1). To send a child into daycare the cost of it is around $150 per week, and for three children in a preschool program is around $350 per week. Parents should not have to pay this much for their children to go to preschool. Children who go to preschool have a greater chance to become successful in the future, and missing out on the opportunity to become more successful can ultimately hurt the child in the...
The early years in a child’s life is when most of their development occurs. The development of a child’s independence and creativity is just as important as the development of their language and logical skills. During this time it is the role of the early childhood educators nurture and assist in the growth of each child that comes into their class. Teachers are cultivating the young minds that will grow into future leaders, artists, scientist and even future teachers. It is a difficult job but there is none more fulfilling or important as that of a early childhood educator.
Professionalism is an important characteristic that all teachers should display towards colleagues and parents. Education has changed a lot over the years, and as we encounter the 21st century, acting like a true professional is still the way teachers should act. As an educator, it is important that I keep on improving my skills as a teacher, and Walden University is going to play a big role in my development and growth. I want to make a positive mark in society for my students. When you look at making a positive social change, it is easy to see the similarities in what professionalism means in the 21st century.
An education is essential to early childhood academic development. Children who receive schooling at an early age are more likely to stay in school, and those children perform better later with academia.
Walt Disney once said, “The greatest natural resource is the minds of our children.” Albert Einstein shared, “Play is the highest form of research.” The next generation’s growth and development are essential to the growth and development of our society. Does every child need to attend preschool to develop a thriving society? Should every child leave their home and embark on a learning journey to discover the outer world? Yes, preschool attendance is an enriching learning experience and can help a child succeed in the future.
“Play is developmentally appropriate for primary-age children and can provide them with opportunities that enrich the learning experience” (Copple & Bredekamp 2009). Early childhood education holds two main focuses; a child-based focus and a family-based focus. Early childhood education has positive outcomes on the child through their learning experiences, and their growth and development. Based on the family, the results of early education happen through the communication that the family has with the educators and by the encouragement they get from within themselves, and also from the educators.
Recent studies have revealed the benefits and long-term effects of early-childhood education. Between the social interaction, discipline, and the development from an academic setting, there are countless benefits to early childhood education. However, this is not accessible to everyone due to lack of educators, financial resources, or being uninformed of its importance. Preschool should be provided to all families because the preschool age is when majority of brain development occurs. The objective of this paper is to prove that preschool should be accessible to all families because of the developmental benefits, opportunity it provides to children in poverty, and long-term benefits to society.
The International Encyclopedia of Education has noted that preschool is the fastest growing area of education in the early 1990s because of social need and the very positive effects that preschool is acknowledged to have on primary education. This is excellent as long as:
Many children’s families immigrate from all around the world for a better life in America. Going to preschool develops children’s language which leads to strong, independent thinkers for the better of tomorrow. The main reason why many children don’t go to preschool is that
