Professional Philosophy Regarding ECEC Pedagogy: How Learning Happens
Zubaida Abubaker

My philosophy related to my profession is deeply inspired and rooted in my belief in each child’s potential. I believe that every child is an abled body, and the expectations we attached with them usually leads to a self fulfilling prophecy. If I will believe a child is able, I will work hard to make it possible, but if my expectations are otherwise, the result will prove it too. I have spent a substantial part of my life taking care of children around me as well as my own children. I believe that children are our best teachers who made us aware of our own potentials and vulnerabilities. Moreover, my interactions with children has changed my practise and …show more content…

Whether this respect comes as an advocacy for my profession or fighting for my rights at any platform. Whether this respect is for my own child or for the children of others in my care. I believe that every individual deserves the respect irrespective of their gender, cultural background, colour, race or ethnicity. Ridiculing, making fun of others and letting others down are certainly the worst gestures I despise in human beings. I feel this is where we lose our humanity. “Respect doesn't happen in isolation; it's based in relationships”(CITE) says it all. The best gift anyone can give to others is by accepting the person as they are. Moreover, it creates an environment where people get comfortable and they grow and become more engaged in their surroundings because they feel belonged. In practise, I had taught students for two years, and came across with students with different potentials. It never occurred to me that one student is; less than the other, sometimes students do need extra support but eventually every child is able to reach the goal at their own pace, so it becomes a challenge for me to try my cent percent to enable that student to reach their full …show more content…

After being aware of all that happened in the past due to our faulty educational system, and what intergenerational trauma is causing the community at present, I feel myself in debt of paying it forward to decrease the effects. Currently and in future, I see myself doing something in the childcare industry to promote the culturally responsive program for our First Nation people. I believe education is our only way forward to fix our mistakes and where to start best but with our children. Robert Laboucane emphasized this fact by saying, “First Nations are asking no more or no less than being allowed to benefit from a quality education that is comparable to that of all other Canadian children.” (CITE)By doing this, we will develop the long lost trust in the educational system and educational

Over the past few decades, there has been many distinct perspectives and conflicts surrounding the historical context between the Indigenous peoples in Canada and the Canadian Government. In source one, the author P.J Anderson is trying to convey that the absolute goal of the Indian Residential School system in Canada has been to assimilate the Indian nation and provide them with guidance to “ forget their Indian habits”, and become educated of the “ arts of civilized life”, in order to help them integrate into society and “become one” with their “White brethren”. It is clearly evident throughout the source that the author is supportive of the Indian residential school system and strongly believes that the Indian residential School System

The summer before eleventh grade, I was given the opportunity to travel to Tsawout, a First Nations reserve situated in Vancouver Island for a week on a short-term missions trip. While assisting to run a camp for the children in the reserve, I was exposed to the mental and emotional burden for those whom had experienced, and were victims of residential schools. Many of the Tsawout Elders witnessed the death of their culture and the brutality these schools wrought on those impacted: families and survivors. The Elders expressed their outrage and past struggles with passion, laying bare their innermost thoughts and ordeals. They challenged me to open my eyes to beyond the reaches of my comfort zone.

Countless numbers of Native individuals are traumatized and their unhealthy mindset and physical traits are typically passed on. Many of these Indigenous people probably do not even realize the harm that their actions cause to their future family members which is one of the root issues that makes people struggle to end the cycle of abuse. Thus, it is important for one to recognize their negative behaviours toward others. Fred mentioned that residential schools were not their fault, “We’re not responsible for what happened to us. None of us are,” (120) which is absolutely true, however, he also said, “But our healing—that’s up to us,” (120) and this further proves that in order to end the cycle of traumas, one should take the initiative.

We Were Children, the documentary on residential schools, is a re-enactment of two aboriginal children and their first hand experiences in the residential school system. The kinds of problems this documentary presented include mistreatment faced by the children who attended these schools, corruption and scandal inside the administration of the schools, and the false perception about these schools that resonated amongst Canadian society. These two children talk about the bullying they had to endure from the nuns which show that the children were not seen as equal to a child of non-Aboriginal decent. Furthermore, the types of abuse administration would put these kids through was immensely disturbing considering this was a state run institution.

Imagine being ripped apart from family members, culture, tradition, and labelled a savage that needs to be educated. Imagine constantly facing punishment at school for being one’s self. Unfortunately, these events were faced head on for many First Nations people living in Canada in the late 20th century.

Residential Schools was an enormous lengthening event in our history. Residential schools were to assimilate and integrate white people’s viewpoints and values to First Nations children. The schools were ran by white nuns and white priests to get rid of the “inner Indian” in the children. In residential schools, the children suffered immensely from physical, emotional, sexual and spiritual abuse. Although the many tragedies, language was a huge loss by the First Nations children.

This can be seen with protests such as the women’s march, or employees going on strike. Respecting another person does not mean agreeing with another. It means setting aside differences to work together for the betterment of everyone and acknowledging their right to think, feel and act differently. Society cannot function without this because there are too many unique individuals to live in a state of constant conflict and broken

Schools are the second place after home where students’ behavior and future educational success are shaped. At schools there are many elements or factors that can influence the teaching and learning process that may take place. Rasyid (2012) stated that there are four perennial truths that make the teaching and learning process possible to take place in the classroom. If one of these is not available, there will be no teaching and learning process, though the learning process itself may still take place, they are: (1) Teacher, (2) Students, (3) Material and (4) Context of time and place. All of them are related to one another.
