Recommended: Preschool classroom experiences

Preschool teachers educate and prepare children before they enter kindergarten. The age range for children is typically four to five. They teach math, literacy, and other skills needed for kindergarten. Learning to sit quietly, conflict-resolution, and delayed gratification are also important skills children learn during this period. Family Involvement, understanding parenting types, and having an inclusive classroom can help improve a preschool teacher’s classroom and career.
An important aspect of preschool education is parent involvement. In more than twenty percent of homes, the grandparents are the primary childcare providers for preschool aged children. (S. Jackson, Lecture, March 30, 2015) Some of these homes are skipped generation …show more content…

This idea values a safe environment where children grow their own way. Parents with a college education value concerted cultivation. These parents push the children certain directions to develop skills, talents, and opinion. (S. Jackson, Lecture, February 9, 2015) In lower educated families, this leads to conformity and obedience. College educated families, value autonomy, questioning the status quo, and creativity. Both parenting styles enforce behaviors of careers similar to their own. (S. Jackson, Lecture, February 9, 2015) It is important to talk to guardians over their view of discipline and what they expect from their children. There is a big difference in parenting styles. 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 …show more content…

Teachers do not want any child left out or to feel this way. Just as a teacher has to be inclusive with children, they also need to be inclusive with parents. If a child feels their parent or family is alienated they may feel alienated as well. One side of inclusiveness needs to be welcoming towards new aspects of sexuality. A nuclear family is not the only family structure anymore, many couples cohabitate before and without marriage. There are homosexual parents, teen parents, and grand parents. (S. Jackson, Lecture, February 23, 2015) During activities, teachers need to be conscience of this and include these family types. A preschool teacher can do this through picking stories with an atypical family, having baby dolls with different skin colors, not giving assignments just based on mom or dad. For mothers day or Fathers day the teacher can include grandparents, stepparents, or just parent day (eliminating gender

In a recent surveys it is shown that over 27% of children in America are being raised by single parents, and over 2 million children are raised by homosexual couples. The old average image of a middle class white family with two parents, and a stable environment is no longer the normal or highly viewed social standing. Various movies, television shows, books, and other forms of literature depict families of different background and standings. For example, in the popular television show Modern Family depicts two gay men raising their adopted daughter and a blended family, the people on the show are always caring for and show constant love for their children. Even though they are not under normal circumstances the children of these different families are growing up in a loving and stable environment.

Ben Zimmer’s article entitled “Chunking” from the September 2010 issue of the New York Times, raises the question: should collocation education be used to teach English? The article focuses on the importance of using chunking as a method in teaching and developing others in the English language. Zimmer uses examples of his son to illustrate his point that children unknowingly pick up myriads of chunks throughout the span of their childhood; he explains, “As Blake learned these pleasantries… I wondered how much-or how little-his grasp of basic linguistic etiquette is grounded in the syntactical rules that structure how words are combined in English” (133). Other chunks such as “Won’t you come in?” or “Make yourself at home,” are noted as common

There are many aspects of society that can be compared when doing an analysis of three cultures: socio-economic statuses, occupations, fertility rates, diets, religions, economics, and politics are few among many. Education, and particularly early childhood education, is a fascinating topic to study when conducting a comparison because it has elements of all traits and greatly mirrors the values of the culture of that which it is present, “Preschools are sites where a variety of domains, interests, and social actors intersect. Preschool is where child rearing meets education; where the world of parents and home first meets the world of teachers and school” (Tobin, Hsueh, & Karasawa, 2009, p. 2). According to Tobin, Hsueh, and Karasawa (2009),

When Lythcott-Haims talks about the story of the parents choosing the child’s major for her, I can relate to that. My parents don’t want to decide my major, but that are very heavily opinionated on where I go to college. This text certainly challenged my views on how I might raise my own kids. I’ve always imagined I would raise my kids similarly to how I was raised, because I’m a “good kid”. However, if being overbearing results in poor feelings and results in life, I will probably drastically change how my children are

Parents who practiced concerted cultivation, mainly coming from relatively affluent middle class families, took on an overarching, active role in their children’s life, and served as a guiding role in education. Parents from this class possessed the cultural capital, likely from their job and life experiences, to navigate the bureaucracy of a school administration to address their child’s needs. These parents, actively engaged, know how to make the schooling system work best for them in dealing directly with the school. The children of these families innately gain a certain sense of entitlement, so the students also know how to interact with the school. On the other hand, parents from the working and poor class utilized the accomplishment of natural growth.

As a special education teacher I can attest to the difficulties with getting teachers and parents on the same page, but when done appropriately, there is a lot of positive benefits to a child when parents and teachers collaborate effectively. Parents are also individuals; they vary in socioeconomics and come from all walks of life. It’s difficult for parents to know how their child is performing in the academic setting. However, on the other side of the coin, it’s difficult for teachers to understand how they perform in their other environments. It’s imperative that we as educators are making strides to involve parents to understand the whole child.

If a person’s parent or guardian drilled the idea of college into your head, or if they told you ‘do what you want’ or ‘I don 't care’, or ‘You’re not going’. While college is great, there are other means of education. The value of college is a low because there are people who do not qualify for a college education, and also because there are other ways of post-secondary education other than college. College is not valuable because many people will not make it into a 2 or 4-year college, much less graduate from one. To support this, in the article Why College Isn 't For Everyone, it says, “As a general rule, I would use graduates in the top quarter of their class at a high-quality high school should go on to a four-year degree program, while those in the bottom quarter of their classes at a high school with a mediocre educational reputation should not.”

It was sunny bright afternoon during break time at preschool. I had just moved to “Vancouver” for the first time and I was a young bright soul with lots of energy. Up to this point in my life, I knew basically no english and somehow wanted to communicate all the other kids that chatting in the schoolyard. I knew a couple of words from being read story books and watching cartoons, but not enough skills to talk to them. So I just played by myself on the playground on the slide and all that.

Parents say that by going to single-sex schools could help the student focus heavily on academics,however what the parents don’t realize is that by going to single-sex school doesn’t help prepare the student for the world. But by going to a co-ed school it gives the student the opportunity to get used to being around and interacting with other genders. Although single-sex education helps students focus heavily on academics, students should be aloud to mix with other genders because this helps with the student’s social skills, it's too expensive to get single-sex education and the student will struggle to adjust being around other genders when going to college or getting a job. Students should be aloud to mix with other genders because this helps with the

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.
