The two I pick is observe and the assessing of a child’s behavior (1993, p. 5) the goals for this is to get more training on Teaching Strategies Gold so that I will be able to make an authentic observation on the children. To makes sure that my curriculum is age appropriate for the children. Take more classes to get more understanding on how to make these better for my children. The second one I have interest in is the establishing positive and productive relationships with the families (1993, p. 5). that I work with and the goal here is to keep on open communication with the families and no matter what to keep professional on whatever is said whether I like it or not. Example the other day I had a little boy’s mother come to my assistant …show more content…
You have to have the education or the experience with cultural, race, ethnic groups, socio-economic and language in the children who are diverse. The workforce needs to have a diverse in their roles as a teacher. The families need to be involved in the development of their child. The should take part in the child’s professional development. The professional development of children should prove their knowledge and the skills in their learning development. Providers are to organize their place for the child’s learning experience and that focuses on any problems in the place. The questions who, what, and how organizes the framework in the plan and the evaluating of the professional development. The focus of the who, what, and how is the framework of professionalism (Inclusion., 2008). This is to make Early Childhood Education and this is to help educators to have the skills, knowledge, and dispositions to work closely to the practitioners to help with improvements in classrooms and to make it more better with the children with disabilities and the families (Inclusion., 2008). The point that I had new insight from is the who because it states that most of the consultants, and the technical providers had a bachelor’s or a Master’s and the experience in teaching children in ECE and that was in a state wide survey. This goes to show us that you need a degree of some kind to work with children, and to be in a teaching position. I see that is why I cannot be in the position as a teacher till I get a
I am a firm believer that the quality of the child care directly affects the child’s development in the classroom. By eliminating the need for competing preschools to continue to improve their curriculum and to remain relevant in the field of early childhood education, we risk falling into the same trap K-12 education has fallen into. In other words, individual classroom freedom will be lost when teachers are forced to follow the governments blanket and mandatory regulations. I choose this concept because I feel it is important to allow a wide variety of options to families in order for them the find the right fit for their
Dr. Seuss wrote, “You’re off to great places. Today is your day. Your mountain is waiting. So get on your Way”. The role of the early childhood educator, while rewarding, can sometimes feel as is you are climbing a mountain. Educators have to consider how to implement curriculum, instruction, management, and technology in the classroom. Educators also have to provide an environment where all children feel safe and nurtured. When creating a course of action, educators have to consider their role as well as the role of the student, parent, and community.
The Conceptual Framework created for the SUNY Cortland teacher candidates is important for many reasons. It was important for the campus to create a “College-wide shared vision for teacher education” (CF 3) as they prepared for their NCATE accreditation. The college wanted to make sure that the framework formed a true representation of their program goals, identity, and beliefs. This conceptual framework is important for the individual candidate because it is used to guide, and provide “a sound foundation for assessment”(CF 7). As stated on page 11 of the framework, “SUNY Cortland is dedicated to developing candidates’ knowledge, integrity, professional standards and commitment to their future students and school community”. This is very important as every piece of the statement can go hand-in-hand with the NAEYC Standards. The Conceptual Framework is also important for candidates as it sets to build three key components in each individual. These components are personal responsibility, social justice, and global understanding. What is also unique about the Conceptual Framework is that it is seen as a “living document”, meaning that it has the ability to be changed whenever change is needed, and whenever we uncover new discoveries of early childhood development. My intention in writing this paper is to gain a better understanding of what is expected from me as a candidate in a SUNY Cortland education program. I hope that I will be able to take the information that I learn from the Conceptual Framework and use it in my future teaching.
A requirement in being an early childhood teacher, is to fulfill the needs, of the children and families I will work for. In chapter one, you have the Lawrence and Ashley Family. In the Lawrence family, they are a married couple, which means more income for the family. Whereas the Ashley family has one income. In addition, to the Ashley family, having one income and dealing with the state can bring heartache and struggles to buy food, clothes, housing, school supplies and other day to day activities. Therefore, I need to comprehend the lives of the families I work for and to be aware of the circumstances of the individual families. To the same degree. I need to respect the boundaries; of the families I work for. Trust is a must. With no trust, there is no communication and things get can get
Standard 1.1 discusses how special education teachers need to understand how language, culture, and family background influences the learning of students with exceptionalities. Standard 4.3 discusses how teachers should collaborate with other teachers and parents to use multiple types of assessment information in making decisions. Standard 5.5 discusses the transition plans they have to implement in collaboration with the students, families, and teachers. Standard 6.3 discusses how teachers understand that diversity is a part of families, cultures, and schools, and that they can interact with the delivery of special education services. Standard 7.0 discusses the collaborations that teachers need to start having with families, educators, and related service providers. 7.3 discusses the promotion of collaborations for the well-being of the individuals with exceptionalities. These standards show what the teacher is beginning to do with the families that have a child with
The initiation of this education system for young children took place in (2010-2011) follow with a new parameter curricular, based on the evidence that shows the importance in children’s social and emotional development. This program focused on the incorporation and collaboration of group educators of early childhood and kindergarten. This last two educators worked together in the classroom to facilitate and provide the adequate atmosphere and proficient learning for young children. This collaboration and integration between educators requires a professional experience to optimize an effective early childhood development. After the system was implemented, the College of Early Childhood (ECE) released it of standards and regulation, which are based through the model of Ontario College of
As with other professions, early childhood educators can have set views and beliefs that underpin their work and determine what they actually do in practice. Critical theory questions these often taken for granted beliefs about practice prompting teachers to think about whose knowledge is assumed and how this shapes the early childhood curriculum. Questions about how children’s rights are being upheld, as well as their agency are considered important.
1.1 In recent years the health and social care has experienced significant changes, change is now an expected part of everyday life in this industry. During this time significant social change has also taken place therefore health and social care has been impacted by higher expectations for quality of care and support, there is also a much higher emphasis on personalisation and partnership working. Due to constant change you cannot expect to stop learning when you achieve your qualification, professional development must be seen as a continuous process.
In the end, as early childhood educators we want to fight the constant layers of oppression our generation currently encourages and condones into what America is made up to be. By identifying our personal biases, understanding our many social identities, examining institutional advantages and disadvantages, understanding internalized privilege and oppression, and finally learning how to take action we can change the way kids socially identify themselves and create a wholesome environment where we are all equal. By respecting and coaching healthy ways of life, our children can only grow to help future generations and facilitate a growing America with positive results.
Nurses need a seat at the table to ensure they have a voice to influence and shape their future. Nursing is constantly evolving and changing, and employers continue to raise the bar for nursing. Nurses understand early in their career the importance of continuing education to enhance future career opportunities. Professional development relates to how nurses continue to broaden their knowledge, skills, and expertise throughout their career, therefore enhancing their professional practice. This advanced knowledge is not only career boosting, but also opens a seat at the table giving nurses the power to make decisions and effect changes. Professional development and continuing education are more important to nurses now than ever before to keep up with the rapid changes in healthcare today. Numminen, Leino-Kilpi, Isoaho and Meretoja’s (2017) article contends professional development enhances personal satisfaction, rejuvenates the love of nursing, builds confidence and credibility. There are many avenues to pursue
The attitudes, beliefs, and values that teacher candidates hold about diverse learners is a theme present throughout the literature and is strongly correlated to culturally responsive practice. To teach learners from other cultures, we must first understand our own influences, values, beliefs, culture, and biases (Imler, 2009; Kahn et al., 2014; McHatton et al., 2013; Scott & Mumford, 2007; Sobel, Gutierrez, Zion, & Blanchett, 2011; Taylor, 2010). Researchers have developed a variety of interview and survey assessment instruments using qualitative and quantitative methods to determine the attitudes and beliefs that a teacher candidate holds. Kahn, Lindstrom, and Murray (2014) utilized the Professional Beliefs about Diversity Scale (PBADS) in their research with preservice special educators. They found that preservice teachers who exhibited characteristics of culturally competent teachers also noted having relationships with people from cultures that were different than their
Upon beginning this course I have been employed for a number of years at a daycare, elementary school, and middle school. I have had quite a bit of experience working and communicating with children of all ages, races, ethnicities, socioeconomic statuses, and academic abilities. I have worked as a special education paraprofessional, ISR liaison, and have had office work duties where my responsibilities were to call home and speak to parents. Another of my experiences as a cosmetologist has allowed me to improve my communication skills with all different types of people. I have also been lucky enough to travel and live all over the United States, as well as, various countries where I was able to encounter different cultures first hand and take
I have been a teacher for fifteen years, worked in two different school districts, and I have attended many professional development classes. I have had both positive and negative experiences from professional development.
There are many documented theories about early childhood development, contemporary research still concurs with some of these theories. It suggests, however, that we should be thinking more holistically, taking into consideration; respect for diversity, the wider community and equity, play based curriculums, intentional teaching and ongoing reflective practices when planning for optimal educational experiences for children (Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, 2009). I acknowledge that ongoing professional learning and reflective practices are a key element of the Early Years Learning Framework (DEEWR, 2009). I accredit working and collaborating with other teachers, families and local communities collectively contribute
A common question that educators and parents alike ask is how and what to teach children. Before one decides this, however, I believe it is important to know what your goals and purposes are. It is important to know why the children are being educated. It is my firm belief that in a person’s educational experience, they should be prepared for more than just their career.
