Recommended: Effective Communication in Early Childhood

For my final placement in early childhood, I was placed in a preschool classroom where my role was to showcase my skills as an educator. I took on my placement supervisor’s responsibilities and managed many of the classroom activities, circles, and meals. On the first day, I met with my placement supervisor and we went over expectations, classroom responsibilities, and curriculum planning. Her role was to supervise me at placement and be there for support but allow me to lead the classroom with the other educator. I expressed my hopes and ambitions for the placement, and together we cooperatively made weekly goals to achieve the requirements set by my program. For this reason, I feel our partnership is an example of a team circumstance. My placement supervisor would check in on me in the middle of the week and she would help me …show more content…

At first, I found it difficult to grab the children’s attention when we would start transitioning and it was difficult for me to serve lunch due to the number of allergies we had. My placement supervisor gave me tips and helped me to develop strategies to improve. Overall it was a wonderful placement and I was offered work once I graduated. I believe what made it such a wonderful placement was the teamwork and team dynamics we established early on. Having conversations about expectations and goals, as well as the centre’s philosophy helped to get all of us on the same page. The other educator in the room and I got along well, and my program supervisor was there supporting what we were doing. We worked together and maintained open communication throughout the day. Although I was described as shy when I started, I would like to think I was perceived positively. If I could go back to the situation I would continue practicing the skills I was taught, however, I would not change my role as I enjoyed the work I did and the dynamics the team

    Overall, I was very impressed with the infant room I observed. To start off the day, the teacher warmly welcomed all of the children and parents. The teacher asked the parent how their night was since they left the daycare the night before, when they ate last, had a diaper change, and when did they wake up. I made me feel like the teacher really cared about the children even when they where not in her care and waited to make sure everything went ok at home. All of the personal care routines where fallowed and the teacher where constantly washing their ha...

  • My Personal Philosophy Of Special Education

    537 Words  | 2 Pages

    As children growing up, we tend to imitate and aspire to be like the people we look up to. Looking back at my childhood, my passion for teaching and working with children comes as no surprise. When I was in 5th grade a young boy my age was as others stated to be "different." Teaching him, reading to him on the bus, and just always wanting to get to know him made me realize how much I would like to do this professionally. Seeing how the grown ups interacted, and was so effective with children really amused me. I had been surrounded by children my whole life, and as I got older, I would try my best to lend a hand and help all the other children that has disablities. After my first experience in a school, I grew fond of working with students in a classroom setting. I began looking up teacher development workshops, and graduate courses to expand my knowledge about what possibly would happen if I went into the special education feild, in order to support and apply while teaching at the time. After becoming familiar with the different realms of education I became aware of a few things. I ...

    Overall my time in this preschool classroom met all of my expectations based on best practices. I feel that on a typical day when it is the primary teacher or teachers, the room meets the expectations of best practice, NAEYC, ECERS and state standards. Once meeting the teacher, you are able to tell that she is up to date on her research and theories about children and early childhood education. The teacher truly cares about the children, their education and their future.

  • Personal Narrative: My Interview With Resident Assistants

    1044 Words  | 3 Pages

    Teamwork was something that I am very familiar with. Working at my local Dairy Queen, I have learned that other’s often need help (especially in areas that get more work like Drive Thru and grill) and since I don’t have any customers to wait on, I try to help them. This occurs at my other job as an Environmental Service Worker (housekeeping and laundry), where often don’t have enough housekeepers, we often send out a laundry worker to help them with their duties. Also after being on the busy side of these jobs I have learned to ask for help when I need it. Now, I learned that I should try to be very fluent in confrontations because that’s a component that Ms. Christ suggested that most of her resident assistants struggled with (which she seemed very

  • Supervisor Reflective Statement

    909 Words  | 2 Pages

    As a quiet, shy and reserved person the work field with my current experience have shown me that the very principles of being a future supervisor may have a small challenge due to my personal comfort zone limits. Even though I still strive for future success and possibly a supervisor position at some point in my current career I will have to overcome this fear and face the challenges and duties that come with this position. At some point in time I plan to accept this challenge and gain skills as well as experience from my previous employers to have the principles of supervision to be used at the correct moment. I hope my current education and learning experience at these places will give me the skills and value to be the supervisor or manager

  • The Influence of Special Education Teachers

    I have been a Special Education Para-Educator for eleven years now. My decision to do this was based on the needs of my family and kids. When my last child was born, the doctors did not think that he would make it. He had a heart malfunction and was born with RSV and Von Villibrantds disease (which I did not find out until he was three); those factors lead me to want to work with special education kids, knowing that I could make a difference.

    I feel that this Coop experience was a great way for me to reflect on my abilities to be a quality educator. I feel that I would have gotten more out of this Coop experience if our school year would have ended a little later, but overall, I think I received a lot from this time. My Coop was at my work at Head Start PDPY in North Platte. The center is a newly renovated room, so it is nice and clean with lots of storage space. Overall, I really enjoy working in the space because it is convenient and although it is small, we are able to make it work well.

  • Reflective Essay On Swot Analysis

    1000 Words  | 2 Pages

    I was less positive about building relationships with certain staff because of how they communicated back to me. From this I could tell the risks outweighed the benefits of making the relationship happen. In a friendly atmosphere, I chose to interact with the staff because I felt valued and I wanted to develop a relationship with them. In situations where the staff were not friendly, I chose not to build a bond with them because I felt it was not beneficial for me. "If workers feel that an environment is hostile to them in any way, it gives them much less of an incentive to be engaging and seek out relationships." (BizShifts: 2015). I had to realize even though the risks of the relationship outweighed the benefits, it was important to still overcome the problems and try to establish a positive relationship with every staff. This was because there is a lot of information sharing done about the children, my opinion on certain things, activities with the children and providing feedback about the nursery environment to the relevant practitioners. It is also important for children’s development and what staff portray to the children as they can sense negativity between different staff.

    Taking this class this semester has really changed the way that I have viewed myself when it has come to work and the different companies that I have worked before. I have taken a psychology class before but I have never taken one that relates to management and organizations. This class has really helped me answer different questions such as why I was unhappy at some jobs, enjoyed some managers over others, and what motivated me to work hard at jobs. It’s good to learn that there are different terms and definitions for different feeling and things I experienced at jobs to know that their other people experiencing these things also. I will be going into a management position after I graduate, and this class helped me to learn many different ways to go about managing and things to avoid to keep a positive working environment.

  • Leadership Reflection Paper

    1470 Words  | 3 Pages

    Many people associate leadership with a specific job title or form of power within an organization. However, through personal experience, I have concluded that leadership can come in many forms and position as well as from multiple sources of roles and job titles both with and without power. Based on the definition of leadership, anyone can be considered a leader as long as they have the ability to influence people to achieve a particular result or goal which benefits the organization or group as a whole. Individuals with a secure sense of self and understanding, acceptance of diversity within an organization tend to be the strongest leaders that not only make others want to follow, but they also encourage other leaders to gravitate to their
