Ms. Arviso Rodriguez is planning to continue her education with a master degree in Education. She grew up with her parents and aunt speaking Spanish, so she was placed in ESL classes in elementary school from 1st to 5th grade. Ms. Arviso is considered a heritage bilingual student. Please,
Both class discussions and chapter 5 in the book “Education the Practice and Profession of Teaching” has allowed me to gain knowledge of historical and current trends in policies and practices that affect early childhood and childhood educators because in the reading the authors speak in depth about social reform with in education, they tell about how policies were created and how they influence our education now for example in the text there is mention of attendance laws that protected children by educating them and keeping them from working. From the reading I also learned about ESEA which made federal government responsible, this act provided funds for poverty program as for current programs Bush’s passes NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT which
1.1. Why should early childhood development teachers not use food in art activities, such as painting and collage? Because children are still in the process of learning to distinguish between food and other objects that are not to be eaten it can result in causing confusion in the young learner so therefore it best not to use food items for eating as art materials. Also art work such as paintings and collages that makes use of food can most definitely not be displayed and kept for long periods of time as it can attract insects and go off or moldy. This could have a negative effect on the child if his art work no longer looks as beautiful as it did when he created it.
The learning process begins at an early age. “Once we are born, we instantly start reading the world around us.” (Souto-Manning, Pg 123) The earlier we start learning, the faster we start shaping our future. This is why early childhood programs are so important.
Fuller and Strath (2001) conducted a quantitative research study that examined local populations of early education organizations based on the 1990 household census data to report features of the early childhood workforce nationwide. Multiple economic and regulatory forces shaped the population of early education organizations that operated within states and local communities. The median center-based teacher was 34 years of age, reported having completed some college, and was married. The median family childcare home provider had a high school diploma. Fifteen percent of all preschool teachers in urban areas were African American and 8% were Latina.
Although, in the last 20 years, the early childhood occupation has enhanced standards and responsibility for the advancing the current early childhood educators. I desire to benefit from the field experience is more of “the hands on “method and resilient understanding about the responsibilities teachers have toward students within an inclusive classroom. Also be able to cultivate the right skills to assist needed for preschoolers with disabilities. Taking part in a diverse field experience into a teacher preparation programs are significant because of the influx diversity of students that require services has grown. The early childhood professional must recognize the many cultural and linguistic background to provide the most useful assessments
I simply want to be a teacher that makes a difference in the school. I want to be a positive influence, not only on my students but on other staff in the school as well. This article explained many great points that those six schools stand by in creating a successful environment for their Hispanic students and I, as a teacher leader, want to take those suggestions and use them and create an environment in my future school that is welcoming and accepting to English language learners. I truly believe that every child has great potential, they just need the proper education to be able to reach out and achieve their goals. As an elementary education major, reading about people who are determined to make a positive change in our schools is restorative to my hope for our students’ futures.
I expect and hope to graduate in 2021 which will be four years from now. I want to graduate as a bilingual elementary teacher. I have many reasons why I want to be a teacher. Most important I think I always had great teachers that inspire me to become one. My kinder teacher was a kind-hearted teacher who helped me a lot because I was very shy and I didn’t want to play with other kids.
I am interested in education and specifically ELL education as a career because in highschool I took Spanish all the way through the highest level offered at my school, dual-enrollment IB Spanish V. Throughout the time spent learning and working on my language skills I have felt very fortunate to have developed my ability to communicate and interact in Spanish. Additionally, a part of learning and being around the language led me to be able to communicate and interact with Spanish-speaking students at my school, including students in the ELL program and international students. I have been able to have great conversations and experiences with these students in classes, at school social events, and outside of school as well.
While reading up on both early childhood education programs I found some major differences on how they each conduct their centers. For instance child-centered education programs tend to have educators that put “children’s ideas, preferences, learning styles, and interests are considered in the planning for and implementation of instructional practices”. That means to me that they put the uniqueness of each child into mind as they are putting together the curriculum to teach them. I also read that “Children are active participants in their own education and development. This means that they should be mentally involved and physically active in learning what they need to know and do”.
Based on the course objectives I was able to recreate my vision and mission statement for my early childhood education organization. I’ve learned the importance of incorporating my mission and vision into my hiring process, furthermore by incorporating them into hiring new job candidate it ensured that they hold the same values and ethics as my organization & their purpose is to provide quality education and services to the children and families we service. From this course I’ve learned that if someone’s sole purpose is to make lots of money childcare is not the business for them, however the childcare business could be lucrative at times when done right. I’ve also gained the understanding that as a childcare provider you must properly equip

Reflecting on my educational and practical experiences, I appreciate the infinite influence that teachers have on children. I realise that children will take the skills and knowledge learnt in the classroom and use it throughout their lives. I know a teacher has to deal with many daily pressures and challenges, in the classroom. However, I feel I require the skills needed to deal with these challenges. As a teacher I hope not only to be an educator but a positive role model, whom the children can look up to and trust.
Early Childhood Education: Theoretical Perspectives Abstract Studies confirm that high-quality education early in a child’s life leads to continued success in school, at work, and results in a healthier well-rounded student who is emotionally and socially strong. In most early childhood programs and schools, technology will be part of the learning background of the future. To make sure this new technology is used effectively, we must confirm that teachers are fully trained and supported. In this paper, theoretical perspectives of child development are discussed with the basic elements of learning program.
My educational philosophy has been in development for 15 years. It is a product of my own experiences in school, as well as my opinions on what skills should be taught, and to what extent different components of the child should be developed. The academic, social, emotional, and cognitive development of the children can be heavily influenced in PreK and kindergarten classrooms. It is dependent on the teacher to conduct their classroom in a manner that successfully facilitates the development of each child’s faculties. As a future teacher, it is critical that I enter the classroom with a clear philosophy in regards to how I believe education should be conducted.
