Understand the stages of child development- This is very important, you need to know for a number of reasons. Nursery teachers need to be able to see the child's level of ability. Abilities can differentiate at preschool age and an effective nursery teacher will meet each child level and guide them on their pathway to achievement. It is also important so they know understand the children that they are working with

In summary I believe to be an Early Childhood Educator one has to be able to keep up with everything. There is no single purpose to educate, but if I had to choose a soul representative it would be to shape our world. Children’s needs must be met in order to do that. To be am Early Childhood Educator one has to be patient, patient, and patient. Putting all of these things together gives one the end product of a successful

Understanding the "whole" of a child takes devotion, dedication, and consistency. How well the childrens ability to adapt, learn, and improvise are dependant on a well educated provider. My dedication through constant education, re-direction, support, and seamless lesson planning are my path to meeting Competency Statement III.

It is organized with in four sections that specify standards of ethical behavior and responsibilities that educators must have to children, families, colleagues, community and society. Also, it a guide in which a teacher or a caregiver can fall on for support within face difficult dilemmas in Early Childhood care and education.

The NAEYC statement on developmental practice indicates change and continuity and change in the early childhood education field is vital due to the fact that their main commitment is excellence and equity. Nevertheless, all new knowledge gained over time has been advanced and increased. This means that with understanding, it has allowed us to revise and refine ideas for promoting children's development and learning. With developmentally appropriate practice, meeting and enabling the children are required. This means that teachers should get to know them well and push them to reach goals that may be a challenge but are achievable for them.

In my internship course I have gained a lot of knowledge of how a preschool is run. The teacher must follow a handbook that specifically instructs them how to teach a lesson. It’s the teacher's responsibility to create activities that relate to the topic. The lesson must extend to different parts of the New Jersey curriculum. For example math, literacy, project based learning, science, etc.

This is a legal documentation that aligns the requirements for the Early Years Foundation Stage, ‘its core is about quality care and education’ (Tassoni, 2008:1). The most recent EYFS document states there are seven Early learning goals that children are required to reach by the end of reception. These are: Personal, Social and Emotional Development; Communication and Language; literacy; Mathematics; Knowledge and Understanding of the World; Physical Development; Expressive arts and design (EYFS, 2017). Along with these Early learning goals, there are four main principles of practice for practitioners to build upon; A Unique child, Positive Relationships, Enabling Environments, Learning and Development. It is the practitioner’s role to furnish a safe and rich environment for them to flourish and

As a graduate of the Child, Youth and Family degree program from the University of Guelph, I have my certification as an Early Childhood Educator. As a result, I have been thoroughly taught a deep understanding of developing curricula for children that considers government regulations, developmental appropriateness, and learning environments that fosters growth in multiple areas of child development. Additionally,

The 2010 National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Initial and Advanced Standards for Early Childhood Professional Preparation Programs provides standards that set guidelines for what and how early childhood professionals prepare themselves to be efficient educators and caregivers. Professional development tools and strategies are critical assets for providing high quality early childhood education and care that meets the needs and interest of all learners. Today’s early childhood settings are filled with a diverse group of learners. Efficient educators must use a broad range of approaches, tools, and resources to ensure success for all learners. The NAEYC Initial and Advanced Standards demonstrates particular strategies for early childhood educators to prepare themselves to be successful and effective teachers. For this brief composition I chose to highlight the initial standard #4: using developmentally effective approaches.

Teachers, receiving training from universities to enhance this new trend for early childhood education was good for the movement. However, as a potential college student and someone

Early childhood education must always be changing and evolving to meet the needs of the children and families that we serve. In the short term for this school, the plan is to implement a new curriculum for students 2 and under. The plan is to re-train teachers and add new equipment to the classrooms when expansion becomes available. Long term, the plan is to open a second school.

I as a teacher need to find ways to make connections with my students, and find ways to deepen their understanding of the information I am presenting. Understanding and being able to apply these concepts to my teaching will benefit my immensely in my career as an educator. In the future I hope to become a kindergarten or first grade teacher. Being able to apply content literacy is extremely important with this age group because I have them for all subjects. Making connections is also imperative at this age because their minds are like sponges. The material that I teach them is the building blocks of their knowledge. Student need to be able to internalize the information and remember it from this point forward. Learning about these concepts has greatly affected how I will write lesson plans in the future and how to present information to my young

Think about your early childhood education (or your child’s early education), was it flexible to suit individual learning experiences or were children required to conform to the teacher’s methods of teaching? If you answered the latter, do you think the former would improve the quality of education? The initial years of education are crucial to learning, development and growth, during these first years children’s experiences shape their learning methods and they are able to learn rapidly, for this, early childhood educators must use teaching methods that are suitable for each child. Teachers must consider the attitude they bring to the classroom; how it affects children’s learning and the value, of the information and knowledge that

It is important for early childhood educators to have a thorough understanding of the history early childhood education because it can help us understand why we do things the way we do. For example knowing about when people started teaching in kindergartens and why helps us fully understand why we have kindergartens. And that is so that children have a good and healthy environment to learn every day and school activities in. Having an understanding of our past helps us see just how far we have come in early childhood education and how far we may have to go still.
