Assignment Ce101 Introduction To Early Childhood Education

Chapter two discusses various theorists that helped to mold and shape early childhood education to where it is today. There are several different theorists that contributed to the development of early childhood education. Some of these theorists include Alfred Adler, Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, and John Dewey. Each theorist developed a unique theory that has caused early childhood guidance and education to flourish like it has today. Without learning and building on these theories, early childhood guidance and education would never develop or change. The chapter explains how some theories may seem strange to the contemporary families, but these theories are the foundation of how early childhood education got to where it is today. The book goes

Early Childhood Education illustrates the teaching and care of children in other environments outside of the home. Early childhood centers on the development of all children no matter their gender, race, abilities, or ethnic orientation and gives knowledge of early childhood learning process, which entails values, culture, desires of parents for their children, and especially a child’s need for knowledgeable functionality in society.

“Early roots of play as a best practice for early learning was documented by Plato, a Greek philosopher, who insisted that play is considered a natural activity of childhood.”(Ingrid Crowther, 2011, Pg. 2) Early Childhood Education is a term that refers to educational programs that are devoted to children from birth to the age of eight. “Children of this age learn by exploring and investigating; therefore, their environment should support and encourage this process.”(Rebecca Isbell and Betty Exelby, 2001, Pg. 11) Early childhood environments should be attractive and exciting. These environments should allow children to work and play using proper resources, materials, and tools.

I am a student at Florida Atlantic University studying early childhood education. I am enrolled in EEC 3214 class this semester; the class is called designing and implementing a blending curriculum: birth to age eight. I am required to complete a field experience assignment at a preschool. I will observe young children ranging from three to five years old. I assure you that I will keep all information confidential. In addition, I reassure you that I will not share the information collected outside of my course and that no identifying information will be shared. I will respect and follow all the school’s policies and procedures in a professional manner.

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

Early education for children is very crucial as it helps shape up the foundation of their knowledge and behavior development process. Children begin to develop the sense of curiosity from the age of two. And from age 2-8, children go through a very crucial period of mental development, which shapes up their future mindset (Grayson, 2016). Early children education (ECE) has been listed as the number one priority of the National Association of Education. The teachers or educators at nursery and primary level are responsible to for developing young children’s sense of knowledge and education. In this paper, we will assess the roles and skills that are vital for an early childhood educator. Moreover, the paper will also present a

In order to decide how past philosophies, theories and educational models have influenced present ideas and practices related to early childhood education, we must first decide where we would like to begin. I will start with the ideas of Aristotle, because I believe his ideas on “mimesis” or imitations are evident in the evolution of early education, and will always be an integral part of effective learning. Once we understand that children learn and practice what they see in others, we begin to realize the need for dedication and devotion from parents and teachers. Aristotle was a student of Plato who argued for the early removal of children from their parents so that they could be cared for in

Learning is a lifelong process. As long as we are presented with opportunities to be curious and explore, there is always room for individual growth and development. With a degree in Early Childhood Education, I can provide the opportunities needed for children to learn. I understand that this is possible through engaging in lifelong

The classroom should provide special areas of space for each child. Circle time is also a good time to incorporate in the classroom. Circle time allows children to socialize together in different group sizes.

I enrolled in the doctoral program with the view to enhancing my knowledge and to acquire academic competences in the field of Early Childhood Education. After three years of coursework in the doctoral program I have gained a lot of experience in observing and being part of an enriched learning environment and understanding multiple methods of doing research. From a background of qualitative research I have come to experience and understand the value and efficiency in doing quantitative research either. In addition, I could find a chance to be part of a research team, collect data, analyze data and present the findings at the 2015 annual American Educational Research Association (AERA) with my professors and colleagues.

All of chapter 2 has brought to my attention. I want to be able to teach and support culture. I want to demonstrate to the children that we should all be treated with the same respect and that in the end, we are all humans. As Melendez mentions, "One of the things the children reflect is the diversity of visions found in our communities" (68). Children will know the color of skin tone, the way others dress differently, religion wise, etc. What I would try to incorporate in my work in the early childhood education classroom and how I would implement it, I would want children of all race, accept anyone because I wouldn't leave anyone out. I want to welcome the classroom with various cultural viewpoints, images representing children of all kind,

With my interest in early childhood education research, this program will be most beneficial for my career path because of its strict focus on the age range of birth to age eight. While learning through online work and applied activities, I can use the knowledge I have gained throughout my studies when completing the in-person clinical experiences hours. Working in the educational field will allow me to change the challenges that current students, future students, and past students, like myself, struggle or struggled with. I will not only work to educate my students but also work to get to know each and every one of my students on a personal basis. Learning about the whole child, I will be able to determine their strengths and weaknesses and apply the knowledge gained through the program to help each child succeed in the classroom. If I am given the chance to complete this program, I will go on to further my education in a doctorate program. This next step will allow me to better educate myself as an educator to be successful within my

Hello, I’m Radonna. I am proud to be the teacher of the 2yesr old classroom. I have been with Creativekidz since October of 2014.

When I am not in the classroom I enjoy watching movies, going to church, spending time with family and friends.

Situation 1 - I would have liked to have known if the children had any grants for college and if they were already working or planning on getting student loans. If so, they could have paid on their college as they went so they would not be in debt after graduating, I would have liked to know if both Fran and Ed were working, or just one of them.
