Summary of Integration of Classroom Management Strategies and Instructional Techniques in the Early Childhood Learning Environment

To understand my reflection of my lesson plans in this last year, I would like to offer a picture from where I have come as an educator. As a child care provider for over ten years, my experience lies mainly with infants to early preschool aged children. Our facility was our home. We had only a few in this age group up with a few more at varying times. Some I cared for more than eight years of their life, beginning as an infant. Spending eight to twelve hours a day with many of our children, I knew them as I knew my own. This is an important component of my learning process and I believe a tribute to my versatility …show more content…

Although I did not feel I had the mechanics in my dialog with the students rehearsed well enough or my activities fine tuned to their needs, I was able to quickly accommodate as the moment arose. If a student had a question or a problem with understanding a concept, I was able to break it down in immediate response. I sometimes used items in the host classroom as well to facilitate the redirection. This is a characteristic I value as a teacher that I believe my experience has taught me. My lesson plans evolved to be more concise and encompassing for my students, but the flexibility for the immediate needs in the classroom, in the moment, proved to be an important part of a successful learning environment for the student and myself, as the …show more content…

Education has had a metamorphosis in the last decade that now has a higher basis in evidence based practices and data driven curriculums. Technology has made many of these resources available in immediate demand and provided an ability to discuss and implement. With the strength of the core of such resources, they can be an asset to educators in their day to day obstacles. Some sources I readily use are feeds through ED News and Education Week; updates through the Illinois Early Learning Project, Understood, and the Smart Classroom Management blog by renowned author Michael Linsin; and my LinkedIn feeds to include Quality Counts for Children, Autism Home Support Services, and a few local connections with professors and professional education advocates that are live in the field. I continue to follow the published accounts of leaders in education such as those at the Ron Clark Academy and the teachings of A Connected School (2003) team, Good, Grumley, and Roy, where they cite William T. Powers in his Perceptual Control Theory. The Connected School program has been implemented in our district and is still active in a few as appositive behavior guiding tool. I am involved in the Professional Child Care Providers Association for home childcare employees in our area and have been active in

Other student may grow frustrated quickly, and begin to lash out at both myself and the other students. And on the other end of the spectrum, are my students who will not say a word.

During the past two years, I was given the opportunity to spend some time observing in the classrooms at the First Presbyterian Church of Bakerstown Preschool, a Christian-based school, in the Gibsonia, PA area, the Westminster College Preschool Lab, and the Head Start program at New Castle, PA. Observing in the different classrooms displayed different ways to setup and design one classroom from another. The church preschool was different from the Head Start program, mostly due by the budget and location of each facility. Many of the church preschool classroom materials were provided by donations to the preschool. The classrooms at all three locations, had some physical similarities with each other including: many windows, child-sized tables, chairs, cubbies, and play kitchens that were child friendly, with different areas for children to play in during free time.

While I was teaching the lesson, I had to adjust the way I stood at the board. I realized that I should be standing in an area where everyone could see. Some students might not be assertive enough to ask me to move, so I had to be aware. Another adjustment I had to make was to use enough "wait time" to have them think about it before moving on. I realized that the students needed time to actually think about what I was asking.

In this essay I will be considering how innovations in theory, policy and research have influenced the development of coordination, partnership and integration in childhood practice in my childcare setting in Scotland. I will analyse the development of policies concerning children and young people in relation to my setting and the professional groups involved within my setting. This will include the introduction of building the ambition and the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014, which from 2016 will enforce the need for the named person to take any concerns seriously and report as required.

This achievement revealed my strong dedication, persistence, and ability to continue to work hard despite challenging situations. Collin Powell once said, “Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence.” Anyone that has worked with children knows how arduous the task can be. When dealing with the children, I strived to continuously make my strategies more effective. I learned that young children have a short attention span, so having them remain still or in one position for a long lesson was simply impossible.

When interviewing a preschool teacher there was so many different thing that I want to ask about how things are being done in her classroom with the children.

Preschool teachers do not want to teach children to question everything and when they get home, they are punished for it. A teacher also wants to let the parents know the classroom management philosophy and policies. If the classroom contains students of both parenting philosophies the teacher can include them into the activities. Some activities can be creative outside of the box and some can be detailed orientated direction following activities. This allows students from both parenting styles to

Throughout this course, I learned a lot about classroom management. First and foremost, I learned what classroom management was. According to our Elementary Classroom Management book, it is “Promoting learning with the use of tools that help students develop cognitively and socially in a setting together (Williams, 332). In addition, I learned that there are many attributes that make up a classroom. However, there are three aspects that I believe to be most important, and those include the physical environment, the emotional environment, and a well-managed discipline and punishment system.

Why? During my lesson, I did have to alter my instructional plan as I taught the lesson. Therefore, the reason that I had to change my instructional plan was because, my students needed for me to model the lesson concept more than I had planned. Furthermore, the students were able to effectively complete their individual work after I added additional time to model for them how to find the main idea of a piece of text.
