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
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.
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.

Being an early childhood teacher is a continuous journey; it has the potential to be challenging, fortifying and constantly changing. Nevertheless, exceeding all else it is rewarding. There not only is the role of the teacher crucial but also the role of the Early Childhood Facility, it along with the teachers take on numerous roles during the day. The environment establishes the framework for everything that happens within the facilities. In other words, it’s a location where children and educators spend long hours daily.
Abstract As early childhood educators, we the teachers have differing philosophies and approaches to education of our own. There are many different types of early childhood programs. Each program is unique in its philosophies, methods, and program goals. Every one of us early childhood educators is unique in our own way, which makes each early childhood program experience different and special to everyone involved.
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.
2. A strong understanding of issues around ‘quality’ in early childhood education, and the role of leadership in this regards. All children have the right to quality education and with the right leadership provided by all educators, children are able to find a sense of belonging, being and becoming. Families and the community trust that early childhood children are being cared for accordingly and the quality of care is of a high standard. According to Rodd (2013, p. 144) educators who are dedicated help to raise the quality of education within the service as the standards and expectations are lifted.
Early Childhood education becomes a win-win for both child and student. Not only is this benefiting the present, but also it is helping out their future self and teacher. If a child is coming straight from a preschool into elementary, they already have the fundamentals needed to excel. The teacher is able to teach to the whole class as a unit and not single certain children out. The saying is “no child left behind”, but often there is a straggler or two.
Honestly until I was told to write this paper, I never thought of my teaching objectives, after much reflection on what they are my main concerns are in the classroom. Being most eager to be involved in a profession where I can apply my own values and mold the next generation into something exceptionally productive. Believing truly significant qualities that I want to give to my students are these; I want to educate, encourage, and inspire. However, once I put some thought into it I would like to find an approach and method, of teaching used by others when teaching children with developmental disabilities.
I believe that as an educator one of most important bonds to create is with the families we work with. Treating as families and parents with the upmost respect helps create strong relationships, which in the long run allows children to get the most out of their experience. Parents and family’s are the children’s first teachers and because of this are an incredibly import aspect of the children’s learning. I believe its best when families and educators sustain open, truthful and consistent communication.
The important reason to makes a good and professional early childhood educator is to communicate with children and try to understand them. I did not have any working experience in kindergarten, but I have some experience of taking care of a child due to my mother is a babysitter. The child that my mother takes care is a boy and he’s autism. He is a child that sometimes like lives in his own world and sometimes he is also hyperactive. He likes to sing, dance and write.
