Personal development planning is a structured and supported process. My personal development is assessed during my supervisions and my annual appraisal.

America also does not have a vast collection of methods available that will maintain the evaluation and continuing development of a teacher’s effectiveness in the classroom, or support decisions about entry into the field of teaching and the continuance in the profession of teaching (Darling-Hammond, 2010). n order to reach the belief that all students will be taught and learn to high standards calls for a makeover in the methods our system of education in order to be a magnet for, train, support or uphold, and cultivate effective teachers in more efficient ways. A makeover that is contingent in a certain degree of how the abilities or skills are comprehended (Darling-Hammond, 2010).In the last few years there has been increasing

As an early childhood educator I believe each child is an exceptional unique individual that needs to be provided a secure and loving environment in which they are able to grow emotionally, physically, socially and intellectually. My longing is to help each and every one of my students explore their creativity, understand their emotions and learn self-regulation along with social skills and the best of academics that I can possibly provide. The role I have as an educator is to guide my students while allowing them to explore their curiosities about the world around them and academics to blossom while teaching respect and caring for others.

The scope of this paper will be to compare the different roles that early childhood educators have in supporting the artistic development of children. The theorists Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky and their respective beliefs regarding the instructional practice of early childhood educators will be examined and critiqued. Additionally, this paper will explore what these theorists believe to be the most effective way to teach the visual arts to young children and what role the early childhood educator plays in supporting their development. In a discussion of Piaget, the constructivist theory will be explained and connected to the visual arts education. The socio-cultural theory and social development theory will be closely examined when

As a teacher I will stay competent on my skills and knowledge by learning new ways to teach children. I will not become a teacher who instructs a certain way because that is the way that I have always taught. My disposition in the classroom will change with the environment of the classroom. Depending on the class’ temperament, I may need to be more upbeat or low key. I will all

In the Early Childhood and Special Education program at Valdosta State University, students and professors follow a set of principles called the Valdosta State University Dewar College of Education and Human Services Conceptual Principles: Guiding Principles. These principles are supposed to be the foundation for teacher candidates in this program.

These concepts include skills and mindsets that student

After reading chapter 6 of the textbook, I have realized that children early years are severely important because they provide the foundation for the rest of their life, as adolescent, and as adult. Children that are well nurtured can live well and be sociable. Early childhood is the most rapid period of development in a human life. A child creates their own sense of identity. Indeed, it is important for a child to have a sense of identity. Although individual children develop at their pace, all children progress through an identifiable sequence of physical, cognitive, and emotional growth and change. The early child development approach is based on that children respond best when caregivers use specific techniques designed to encourage and stimulate progress to the next level of development. Early childhood is the time during which essential, intellectual, and emotional abilities form. Keeping young children safe and nurturing them is protective against lifelong problems. Including the risk of becoming involved in violence. Early experiences affect the brain development, shaping the brains physical growth and sculpting neural connections. This occurs primarily between birth and school age years. Besides, the family, community and society are powerful in shaping young children’s development. They grow at a very rapid rate during the first one and a half years of life. Their development is not only physical, it is also mental, emotionally, and social. These developments are

In this article review, I will be reviewing the article written by Anna Jo Perry called The Practicum, A point of change. I will be discussing what the article is about, the importance of communication between the associate teacher and the student and other staff members.

As I reflect on my movement as a student teacher through my program of study in the Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood Teaching, and provide evidence of my growth as a professional in five of the Macquarie University Graduate Capabilities, it is important to mention that I have only completed studies in the subjects of ECH113, Play and Inquiry in Early Childhood and ECHP 222, Reflective Practice in Early Childhood settings 2 and am currently completing ECH 315, Early Childhood Management and Leaderships: The Socio-Political context of Teaching and this, ECHP 424, Reflective Practice 6.

When I think about teachers that I have had in the past, several different ones come to my mind. Each of these educators stands out in my mind for a variety of diverse reasons. Whether it is their sense of humor, their tactfulness, their love of the subject matter, their fanatical and sporadic behavior, or their yearning to be childish themselves, I can still remember at least one quality of every teacher I have ever encountered. Every one of these teachers conveyed subject material to their students just as they were educated and employed to do. However, I trust that every professional in the world has an abundance of opportunity for improvement; teachers could discover and improve themselves merely by having
