? I learned that this is my passion. This is what I want to do as a career. I love doing hands on activities. This helps with memory and the children are able to make a visual connection. I think my teaching and creativity help the children not only learn, but to have fun as they learn. Hands on is a great way to keep the children focused and involved. I love creating activities that help them to learn and have fun at the same time. It is very important to differentiate between children. I teach EC, so I have learned to differentiate between students in my classroom. The student gets very excited when we do activities that involve cutting and gluing. He can get very loud and over excited, so instead of him finding 4 uppercase and 4 lowercase,
I love working with kids. From babies who are only 6 months old that cry nonstop, to kids in their “terrible twos”, to preteens who are going through their phase changes, I enjoy spending time with them all. I myself am an only child, and can remember always asking my parents for a baby brother or sister. My wish never came true, which is why I cherish every opportunity I get when I am around children. I feel connected to children even if they are not related to me, which makes our bond so special.
Imagine yourself to be a young child sitting in a classroom. The teacher has given instructions, and everyone is working, except you. You want to raise your hand, but are hesitant due to the fear of being laughed at. The teacher scolds you for not being on task, and for having to perhaps stay afterwards to catch up on your work. You feel ashamed and want to give up altogether. The teacher glares at you waiting for you to start your work. This example is one that I do not want to have my students experience in the classroom. I have the desire to become an Early Childhood Special Education teacher. I want to assist the child that feels lost, or does not catch on as quickly as the other children.
Early Childhood Education is defined as education and child care services that are provided to children from birth to the age of 8. During the years of early childhood education, children take part in a lot of different education settings. When people hear that you are an Education major, they cant help but ask why do you want to be a teacher? Aren’t teachers underpaid? The answer to that question is yes; being a teacher is an underpaid profession. Teachers don’t get paid enough for the things they have to do everyday with their students. Even though teachers do not get paid as well as they should, nothing is as rewarding as when you make a difference in a child’s life. During the ages of birth to 8 years old, these children look to their educators as role models. As a role model you are responsible for loving and caring for your students and teaching them new things everyday. Intentional teachers have a purpose for the decisions they make and they are able to explain that purpose to others. They have goals that are set out for their students and they want to help them reach those...
Just like Rawlings had once said, “I am able to make a significant impact on the lives of children and families that use this setting” (128). This can be true for those who have the passion and want to change lives, but how does someone change a life on another human being? Does it start from becoming a fireman, a policeman, or even a doctor? These are all great ways to change a life, but this writer is going to talk about how becoming an Early Childhood Educator can change the life of a child. Working with children at a young age can be a great challenge, but having the feeling of success makes all the difficulties disappear.
Although I had a variety of options to choose from as my career, I was very passionate to take the path of an Early Childhood Educator. This was to not only inspire the young children that are going to be looking up to me, but to be an educator that will help guide the children to become the best they can be in the present and future. I believe with all the support I can provide my future students, they can achieve the basic knowledge required to move on towards attaining higher academic accomplishments.
My desire to become a pediatric or children nurse is something I have being looking forward to since 2013 when studying the basic aspects of health and social care. I am adaptable, caring, confident, responsible, organise, willing to learn, flexible, dedicated, hard working, committed and respectful person who is looking forward to work in the pediatric department of health. However, my passion to become a pediatric nurse has developed greatly through the past three years of studying health and social care. In other word, my passion to become a pediatric nurse does not only developed, but it also helped me to have a clear understanding of how essential it is to be part of the healthcare sector.
Due to an increased demannd for standards and accountability in the early childhood education field, policy makers have increasingly turned to the development of effective professional practice among early childhood educators (ECEs) as the predominant approach in securing better outcomes for children. ECEs have thus found themselves under increased pressure to develop professional practices through professional development which has been demonstrated to have a profound impact on children’s holistic development and their performance prospects in society. This essay will focus on the development of effective professional practice among ECEs. The paper will critically evaluate the importance of developing professional practice among ECEs, how it is developed and the application in ECE’s practice. The essay will highlight how professional practice and core beliefs of ECEs are shaped by factors such as professional and personal identity, beliefs and values and regulatory documents and bodies.
My past experiences were the beginning of my pathway in the human services career. I met a wonderful mentor in High School she explained her experiences in the field. In reality, her attitude and her cheerfulness were contagious her helpfulness was incomparable after all, she guided me through a traumatic experience. All the sorrows and major depressing moments I manage to survive throughout the years, exclude me from my first career pathway. Despite my depression was a dominant emotion in my life, however, it improved my value as a person and equipped me with awareness of my life.
Early childhood education is one of the most important policy topics out there. Research has proven that the early years in childhood is a critical period for opportunity to develop a child’s full potential; as well as form academic, social, and cognitive skills that determine not only success in school but also their entire life (The White House). The right to a free, public education is guaranteed to all children in the United States. Early education is voluntary, and therefore some children are not given the opportunity to reach their full potential.
This research report presents an analysis of and conclusions drawn from the experiences and perspectives of two educators that work in the early childhood setting. The main objective is to identify key elements and issues in relation to the families, diversity and difference. In particular how an early childhood educator implements, different approaches to honour culture and diversity, and to advocate for social justice in an early childhood settings. As such, it allows an insight into the important role that families and their background plays in the everyday lives of the children and educators within early childhood settings. In today’s ever-changing growing society it is essential for educators to be flexible to the diversity and differences with families of today. Gaining an insight into way that educators view and approach these important elements will enable the readers to understand that diversity and social justice is not only interwoven into today’s education system but also the educators themselves.
There are many reasons people decide to enter the teaching field. Some enter because they enjoy working with people or children, others because they like being off during the summer months, and still others because of their love for a particular subject. Although all these reasons are valid, I feel my reasons are much simpler. The bottom line is that I love kids and enjoy working with them. My desire to make learning a more positive experience for them has only increased with time.
In this assessment I will be talking about the principles and philosophy of Frobel and Montessori, what they have in common and differences, there contributions to Siolta and my own thoughts in relation to early childhood education and their impact on the learning environment
My reasons for pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education at Florida State College of Jacksonville Becoming an effective educator in Early Childhood Education that inspires learning and creativity is my main reason for pursuing a Bachelor’s in Science Degree in Early Childhood Education, at Florida State College of Jacksonville. I believe that true learning comes from inspiration and inquiry. To be an effective teacher my students must be engaged, inquisitive and, have had their basic needs met. For a student to learn, a classroom must feel like home. A student must have a relationship with her teacher.
My interest in teaching started at a young age. I used to watch my teachers in awe as they were able to find new ways to get their students involved and excited to learn. Their enthusiasm to teach was so inspiring. I would often find myself using that same fervor as I grasped each concept. I, then, was able to relay it to my fellow classmates as a peer tutor. To this day, becoming a teacher is a passion that flows through me. However, my enthusiasm and passion are not the only reasons I would be a good teacher. I aspire to see a student’s ability to grasp the knowledge they never before understood. I aspire to see a student succeed at something they never thought they ever could. I aspire to not only support students with academic skills, but also with life lessons about the value of community, pride in one’s own ethnicity, good citizenship, sportsmanship, and more. I aspire to play a fundamental role in ensuring that all students from all cultures and learning abilities have the opportunity to be guided in a positive learning
Reys states that “without place value, we would get no place with numbers” (Reys et al., 2012, p. 167), a defining statement in the importance of place value in early childhood education. In order to understand place value children must learn to recognise, model, represent and order numbers. They need to be able to group, partition and rearrange numbers in order to apply place value to partitioning and be able to estimate and round numbers as well (Reys et al., 2012, p. 168). Place value provides us with an organised structure to counting (Reys et al., 2012, p. 168). The principals that are learned remain the same no matter how large the numbers become and provide a way to transition from one to two to three and four digit numbers and are fundamental
