However, in society today, expectations placed on preschoolers are becoming more demanding, a trend that could have many negative consequences on the development of children. This idea is discussed in the article The New Preschool is Crushing Kids written by Erika Christakis. Christakis interconnects the audience, speaker, and subject as well as uses appeals to logic, emotion, and credibility to craft a strong and effective argument about how preschool has started to place too many expectations on preschoolers.

Over my short, seventeen-year lifetime, I have had passions in many areas, from geography to soccer to leadership. However, as I have grown older, I have had a growing passion for the schools in my area because they taught me everything that I know and have given me all the opportunities that I have taken advantage of. Because of this growing passion, I became involved in two very important organizations that influence the future of the Sartell – St. Stephen School District: the Community Schools Planning Initiative and the Sartell – St. Stephen Board Of Education.

Participants should have clear, shared goals that are evidence-based and comprehensive in addressing language, motor, cognitive, creative, social, and emotional needs of the child. With a consistent approach to curriculum, the daily schedule should be based on consistent and predictable routines to create a safe and nurturing environment, taking these guidelines into account. The majority of activities throughout the day should emphasize learning through play while enhancing learning and development of the child through creating lessons and activities that are developmentally appropriate and students are actively engaged. Teachers should be consistently assessing individual growth and development, based on prior knowledge and skill base, to provide lessons and activities that are engaging, developmentally appropriate, and yet are challenging enough to help foster growth based on prior mastery. An intentional and continued assessment of learning and development, including the prerequisite skills needed to foster new learning, should be built into the daily schedule during both teacher directed lessons and child directed

I also have experience with working with children and families from diverse backgrounds. To prepare for success in my new role I plan to start brainstorming my classroom norms (routines, ideas for disengage, safe place etc) and family engagement ideas. Also, begin designing my classroom environment and establish my goals as a teacher.

As the expectations for children entering kindergarten rise, so should a child’s preparation for the concepts that they will be expected to know. More and more parents are making the decision to enroll their children into some type of preschool to help prepare them for kindergarten, and more and more of these students are succeeding in their early school years and even their later life. In fact, 61% of parents say that their children are enrolled in preschool, which has risen by 6% in just one year (Early Childhood Education Zone)!
