Kira Bender Mrs. Dafoe APEL: Period 4 15 September 2014 Bradstreet Rhetorical Précis In her poem, “Upon the Burning of Our House (1666),” Anne Bradstreet, the first female writer in the British North American colonies to be published, employs the capitalization of specific words and a shift in point of view in order to inform us of a situation in which her devotion to God was challenged and yet consequentially strengthened. Bradstreet opens her poem with the burning down of her home and the amount of fear it caused her. She then gives thanks to God, since she believes all things are his and he has the right to take what he wants.
Some strategies that can be used to enrich children’s understanding and respect for cultural identities within the services community may include: - • providing activities and opportunities that engage other cultures These activities could be a culture celebration for a day or week such as Chinese New Year, St Patrick’s Day, Christmas etc., where the children could come dressed up as something that represents that particular culture i.e. dragon, leppricon, Noah etc. and play games that originated from that culture, do drawings of things found in that culture or read books at story time that give information and embraces the culture. • engaging parents and families to discuss cultural practices.
In order to do this the teacher must build and develop relationships (Rogers and Rogers, 2006). For the teacher to gain the professional authority, the children will want to know that the teacher believes in the children and will help them to reach their highest potential, intellectually, socially and emotionally. Rogers and Rogers (2006) supports this as they suggest that once the children know that the teachers care about them as individuals, they will judge the teacher’s discipline within the accepting that the teacher cares about them. Glasser (1998) reports that emotionally warm relations between teachers and students, characterised by open communication, support and involvement makes students feel secure and self confident at school. This can be crucial as the if there is no feelings or emotions from the teacher to the child, the child will want to misbehave and act disruptive as they are not receiving any attention from the teacher.
One strategy to help parents would be to conduct a workshop, or multiple session workshops, for parents in help them learn how to participate in their children’s learning process. It is also stated that schools must empower parents who may feel “less useful in school work due to lack of formal literacy skills” (Njeru, 2015). Many parents in low SES communities do not have the skills to work with their children at home. Classes should be held in order to teach the skills that parents need. Once parents are given the training that they need they can help their students succeed.
Communication & professional relationships with children, young people and adults – It is important to know and understand how to communicate appropriately within a school setting. Making sure the children feel safe and trust the people who are teaching them is important. Making sure you communicate appropriately with children lets them gain the education that they deserve. Understanding any barriers with communication is important so you know how to overcome these barriers so the children and young people can fulfil their well-being. The childâ€TMs social and cultural background could be a barrier of communication.
If we are unable to communicate with the parents then this could have an impact on the child’s development and lead to the child’s issues progressing and getting worse. Strong positive relationships within the school environment and with parents is very beneficial to children. It helps to model effective communication and set a good example of appropriate behaviour towards others which in turn helps the children to recognise boundaries and what is acceptable when communicating with their peers and adults. Plus building a strong, trusting relationship with the children and young people makes them feel valued and helps provide a more effective learning environment and helps build their confidence with communicating as they progress through their lives.
Through implement activities in this classroom, I observed that children have capacity to use materials in variety of ways to learn and explore base on their experiences and interests. Even though I have planned my activity and image how children might approach to the materials, I restrain instructions and let children express how they play and learn. I stay beside to observe and assist when children needed. It is treasure to see how children excited to learn and be creative. In the classroom, I’m sensitive to individual differences and abilities.
When working with children it is important that practitioners know that they have a duty of care towards them and the safety of the children is of paramount. According to the UN convention on the rights of the child (1989): children have the right to learn and develop, they have the right to be protected from harm and make choices. Children learn and develop by making choices, exploring and experimenting within the environment that surrounds them but they do not always posses the skill and judgement to make safe choices and decisions at all times. Therefore it is the responsibility of the practitioner to identify any potential dangers, and make the decision on when it is safe to allow the child to undertake an activity or make a decision.
In 2007, the Supreme Court voted down a voluntary student assignment plan in Seattle Washington and Louisville, Kentucky. These school district ’s goal was to attempt to encourage racial diversity and ensure integration. Instead, this decision, appears to have the goal of extending and promoting resegregation in the public schools. Parents Involved in Community Schools vs. Seattle School District, also known as the “PICS” case, as well as the Meredith Custodial Parent and next friend of McDonald vs. Jefferson County Board of Education, were two Supreme Court cases that focused on the issue of voluntary school desegregation/integration efforts in Seattle, Washington and Louisville, Kentucky.
The reasons for selecting this project is that I feel like kids are more focused on
Ways the Project Allows the Children to Express Themselves
Relationships are the most complex part of today’s society and affect all areas. All relationships are different, and they influence the decisions made by people and others around them. Romantic relationships are the most meaningful element in people lives, providing a source of deep fulfillment. One such relationship, which is extremely influential but often overlooked, is the relationship between a student and their teacher. There is a great deal of controversy surrounding the relationship between the teacher and the student.
Besides, teachers need to have good communication skills and need to understand what children were thinking. Teachers need to communicate with children to understand what the child’s need, and yet teachers are also need able to communicate with the child’s parents about the child’s needs, problems and achievements. To ensure a high quality care and education, home school partnership is required. As a teacher we also need creativity. Creativity is a most important component to attract a child.
As a teacher, it is my responsibility to share information on the development of the child and have a clear and constant flow of dialogue with the family. This will enable both parties to deal with any issues that may arise within the family, school or community. It also my belief that parents should have an active part in their child’s learning and be able to lend a hand whenever necessary, and having open communication with them will allow this transparency and connection between home and school. The community is vital in ensuring that the facilities around the community and school is appropriate for the different children and families to live in and grow. A very good example of this successful collaboration is the Reggio Emilia approach in Italy.
EFFECTS OF PARENTS AND TEACHERS INTRACTION ON DELOPMENT OF EARLY CHILDHOOD STUDENTS IN MIANWALI 1.1 Introduction: The importance of good parent-teacher relationships has been well documented. Research has shown that parent involvement in education benefits not only the child but also the parents and teachers (Eldridge, 2001). The function of a good parent-teacher relationship is much more than just like a vehicle for status reports from teacher to parents on a child’s performance.
