I remember how I felt on the first day when I entered my placement. It was not the first time I had associate with young children but somehow it felt different. I always thought children were the easiest beings to communicate and that I can easily understand them just by looking at how they act. Unfortunately, I had so many things I did not know about them and I was perplexed just by handling one crying child. This booklet is created for early year’s practitioners that are just starting and it is aimed to provide practitioners about children, early year’s documents and play.
“Phenomenologically, Donny and Timmy were not growing up in a literate environment. Although they lived in a home situation in a city situated in a country that contained many forms and functions for print, they did not experience it. They did not notice it around them; they did not understand its uses. Their world functioned without written language” (Purcell-Gates, 1997, p. 58).
The most helpful issues I learned about how different conditions affect student learning. Through my time at Goodhue, I was able to get a hands on experience working with children of different ethnic, social, family and financial backgrounds. Being able to see how different conditions affected learning was interesting because in most cases, those who came from more stable conditions performed better in the classroom. It was also helpful to learn about how students learn best. Some students learn better through hands on learning, others visual learning and some learn best from hearing things explained. At Goodhue, I was able to see how different students learn and how some students are more fast-paced learners and others need a more slow paced learning environment. This helped me to adapt my teaching style based on each student’s individual needs.
what can be said to their child), lawsuits, verbally abusing teachers, and at the other end of the spectrum parents that are completely uninvolved. “While it’s the nature of parents to want to smooth out the bumps in the road, it’s the nature of teachers to toss in a few more: sometimes kids have to fail in order to learn.” (Gibbs, 2005, p.44)
It can be assumed that every parent knows reading to their child is important. Most pediatricians suggest reading early in a child’s life. In a more technological world, children aren’t being read to anymore. For parents, it’s important to know exactly why childhood reading is important because it might determine their child’s future.
Reading has always been a core subject taught throughout any student’s educational life; in the earlier years, we learned the basics of writing. For some students, it’s an exciting time, figuring out what goes into the story books we read and finally learning how words work. However, the story was different for me. As a child, it was intimidating when I notice that I didn’t catch on as fast as the other kids. Sometimes learning involves compensating for the skills one lacks. It’s a journey; here’s mine.
When teaching science there are certain principles we must put into consideration. Taking into consideration the principle “Children live for the present moment”. As teachers more times than we can remember when we introduce our pupils to a topic, we often see thrill and excitement in their faces. Often we wonder why, but as we would have learned, children live for the present moment. Their minds and imaginations are pure, they have no memory of the events/activities that are occurring around them and they are anxious to gain/obtain new knowledge. These are the experiences that they as children will have with them for a lifetime. So we as teachers needs to do the best we can to also try to live for the present moment with our pupils.
An education is something that one can keep for a lifetime. Acquiring a good education can affect one’s personal life, one’s community, and one’s entire generation.
When I began this research the meaning of these two words, pedagogy and andragogy, my first thought was my entire education training has been built on pedagogy and what in the world is andragogy. When I started reading about the two, the old question, “which came first, the chicken or the egg?” popped into my brain. Later in my research paper, I answered that question.
This standard requires a teacher to really understand his/her students especially through the ways they grow and develop. It is important for them to understand that every student is different and therefore, will learn in their own ways. The teacher then learns to meet the needs of all students specifically by creating learning experiences for all to comprehend. Differentiated instruction would be helpful in a classroom in order for the teacher to meet the needs of students who have differences when it comes to interests, readiness and learning needs.
...academic achievement and also social outcomes for children of all ages. 'The most effective schools are now widely considered to be ones that encourage and support the involvement of parents and other family members in the education of their children' (Grant and Ray, 2010).
Reading to children can teach them skills they’ll need throughout their entire life. Reading aloud not only enhances their skills, it also affects how the their school life is. Being read to regularly is important to maintain the skills that the child learns, the earlier a child is being read to, the more skills they acquire. Parents will benefit from reading also, it creates a bond with their child that last a lifetime. Reading aloud will introduce children to books and reading so they can eventually do it on their own. Reading to children can improve many aspects of their life.
After twelve years of school, it took me until now to figure out exactly why I had been there all those years. It was not to torture me by making me learn how to spell but to make sure that my classmates and I got the opportunity to make the most of ourselves. Opportunity that would come from learning as much as possible from books and beginning to see that the world focuses on more than just history and English . I owe my success in life and school to teachers who taught me to spell and to be respectful and responsible. Those quick to argue with me say that school's usefulness is shallow: deeper-real-life experiences truly educate a person. School should be seen not only as a place to study, but also as a place to learn about real life. People cannot depend on experience alone for education just as they cannot solely rely on information from school books to prepare them for life. The lessons, whether from a book or not, learned in school transcend the classroom to real life situations.
