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
When going into the field of an Early Childhood Educator there are different values that one should have. In my opinion Early Childhood Educators should have foundation skills of how children learn, should know how to support diverse knowledge, should be able to model the correct language, should have classroom management skills, and should be able to create a safe environment for all children. According to the NAEYC core values Early Childhood Educators should base work on knowledge of how children develop and learn, which goes with my first opinion with Early Childhood educators having the foundation skills of how children learn. NAEYC core values also states that recognize that children are best understood and supported and
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.
Abstract Having an Early Child Education Philosophy statement is important because it allows them to know their limits and learn the ropes of teaching. This will also allow them to develop their style as a teacher and what works best to teach kids what they need to learn. Every single person has different beliefs and how they want to teach and how to operate a classroom. This paper is going to talk about my philosophy on how a classroom should be set up and how to teach children. As well as my beliefs on how to guide children to become better and learn skills that will be necessary for the long run, but also to be of help to them.
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.
Personal Information I am a student attending Miami-Dade college and I’m taking education courses. When it comes to being a teacher I have always wanted to be one. When I was, younger I would always babysit my cousins and I loved taking care of them. When we came back home from school I would sit my cousins down at the table and we would do our homework together. If they every needed help I would explain to them systematically how to do the problem.
Hello, I am Kristen Hardeman. I am 19 years old from Abbeville, Georgia, and this is my second year at Middle Georgia. I am an Early Childhood Education major, and I want to teach Kindergarten after graduating. I am in this class because it is important for a teacher to be able to properly speak in front of a classroom full of students. I decided to take this course online because I felt that I would be more comfortable communicating through camera rather than in person, and I hope that this course helps me to become more confident with public speaking.

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.
There are people who think that a good teacher is born, not made many indisputable views. Teaching is definitely something that most people can do; but effective teaching, creating a desire for knowledge of the students, this is a gift, a few people have. Early Childhood Education is a hotbed of mind provoked teen enthusiasm and creativity. The teacher may be a child who began to expose a new concept, so thinking clearer, brighter their young minds. That is why there are adults who can immediately recalled their kindergarten teacher's name, because they left such a lasting impression and long-reaching, their lives and their ideas.
As a young child, I would pretend to be a teacher and model myself after the different teachers I had and would say I’m going to treat/not treat my students like this teacher does. My educational philosophy has been going on for the last 15 years. I started off as a parent, volunteer, substitute teacher, co-teacher and now a teacher. While continuing my education my teaching skills and knowledge continue to grow and improve each semester. Throughout my educational career, I have learned a lot from my professors.
I am incredibly grateful to have received this scholarship. I am currently on the way to graduate with my Early Childhood Education degree in the spring of 2018. It has been a bit of a rocky road for me in my college years; I support and live by myself, and the cost of paying my tuition has weighed heavily on my shoulders. By being selected to earn this scholarship, I can now focus more on my education instead of my financial issues that comes with paying tuition.
Being a pre-service training educator, specific goals and objectives should be set to achieve educator’s own educational philosophy. The Educational philosophy is an individual statement of educators’ guiding principles about the education-related issues, which helps to guide when drawing up curricula and structuring classroom discussions for children. Every educator should have their unique set of principles and ideas to affect students’ performance. I strongly believe that early childhood education is to help children to achieve whole person development which including cognitive, physical, mental and social aspects. Children’s programs should be based on children’s needs and interests as they are going to grow, develop and mature in educators’
