Education is at the forefront of most new parent’s minds, which is why there is so much pressure on choosing a good preschool. Parents want to make sure that they give their children the best possible start to education, in order to create a solid foundation for success late in life. 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. The Community Schools Planning Initiative was launched at the start of 2015 in order to come up with a vision for the future of the Sartell – St. Stephen School District and a plan to match that

Essay 2 Polk State Lakeland Gateway to College High School Program is the only program in my knowledge that allow students to graduate with both an AA degree and a high school diploma. I am interested in this program because I will have to opportunity to grow academically and learn from the older students who attend Polk State.

Beginning in February, I will campaign and prepare so that I can hopefully be elected for a position this coming May.
This article aims to understand two, their expectations, the reality of it and how the group might come together to aid the student. The parents will be a (hopefully) major support in helping the IEP student, and as such being able to understand their concerns, perceptions, and overall how their child will be taken care of is vital to success. The last thing the teacher should want is for the parents to feel like they’re kept out of the loop in regards to their own student’s
My role as a partner teacher for the past 2 years has given me the opportunity to observe the best practices in early childhood education and early elementary. I learned the value in providing children with personalized learning opportunities, how to incorporate technology in the classroom and strategies to de-escalate children in difficult situations. 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.

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)! Kids that do not receive the opportunity to attend pre-kindergarten classes are not getting the chance to succeed at their full potential.

It should also be noted that many, Head Start preschool teachers are math anxious and their level of math anxiety prevents them from teaching mathematics to preschool aged children, including reasoning and cognitive thinking skills, as much as they should. It is critical for children to develop these reasoning and cognitive skills in order to be successful in future learning. In it’s current state of U.

Although emotional support is a very important factor in child development it certainly isn’t a basis to build a case for sending children to preschool away from their families and emotional centers.
