The regulations of NAEYC and Keystone Star’s standards have a lot of similarities like working on two way communication between the teacher and families. Also, work with families with transitioning into programs and work on the child’s individual needs. Plus we need to remind and share the classroom rules, expectations and routines throughout the year not just at enrollment.
Also, we should keep building on positive relationships between the teachers and children we care for. Some of the ways we can do this is by demonstrating respect for the children. We can show them we care by giving them physical affection, using eye contact, be careful with tone of voice and showing them our smile. We need to be consistent with the children. Finally,

We can do this through a variety of different ways of having conversations about what we are learning about or by talking about what they did in art. We can provide materials that encourage them to have a discussion, especially in the dramatic play area with telephones, dolls, puppets and flannel board stories.
Another area is Cognitive Development where the children can learn from books, songs and sequence and finger plays. The books we use can be wordless, have minimum words to help them become familiar with print. These books should be available to the children every day since it is very important to help the build their vocabulary and become successful learners.
Math and Science are two other areas that we need to support the learning. We need to provide materials that will allow them to measure, have colors, shapes so they can create patterns. Children need to be able to explore their five senses as well. Need opportunities that will encourage them to think, question and reason.
The arts an area you can have a lot of fun with children through music, plays and dance. Acting out fairy tales can be a lot of fun and the children really enjoy trying to fill the roles. We can support their artistic expression by cutting, gluing, play dough, paints and caring for the tools they

When it comes to performance standards I do have my regular certificate of compliance. Along with doing all of the professional development, Continuous Quality Improvement(CQI), Big Ideas, and Individual Professional Development Plan (IPDP) and the Learning Standards. I do not have any secondary staff so I do not need to comply with that. Although I do have two subs and I require them to have their First Aid/CPR, 6 hours of PD, and Child Mandated Reporter. As for doing the observation/curriculum assessment I do assessments on the child after their first 45 days of care, and every 6 months thereafter and put all their demographic information in the Early Learning Network (ELN). We also need to do an ERS- self assessment annually along with a written improvement plan if a score falls below 3.0. I try to keep up to date on all community resources available to our families so that way if they are ever in need of help I am able to send them in the right direction. Since I do not have any staff I am always communicating with my husband about what is going on and see what his thoughts might be on how to handle the situation. If we are not able to figure out what direction to go I contact my STARS manager for advice on who to
Since I already had build a estabnglishg professional relationship. I had some type of connected and experience .I had set a positive relationship. I like children so being comfortable and Friendly was so easily . The time and energy a student teacher devotes to relationship building has benefits for both children and teacher. (Machado
Children will be learning through play. For example, children will be learning to count to 10 through nursery rhyme and role play or they will be learning the names of the colours through painting.
One important concept I noticed while reading this chapter is how influential a child’s development is to their response to reading. Many children read books that are common for their stage of cognitive development. For example, according to Jean Piaget, children in the sensorimotor stage are more inclined to read books that appeal to their senses. This is why children, ages birth to two, enjoy tactile, rhyming, and picture books. During this stage children learn how to properly hold a book and how to turn the pages. It is until much later that children have the ability to read and understand chapter books. This skill is usually obtained in the concrete operations stage. This concept is extremely important because an educator’s
Patterned concept books “expand children's understanding of an idea, relationship, or theme.” (University of California Cooperative Extension. “Types of Books to Read to Young Children.” University of California Cooperative Extension. Web. 12 Oct 2015. ) Books that have no text allow adolescents to interpret and figure out what’s occurring in the book for themselves. Folktales and fables which are often told orally help to teach children of different cultures and people. Books such as rhyming stories and poetry can aid children to develop phonemic awareness. As you can see, reading a variety of different children book genres can give adolescents the ability to develop language skills such as phonemic awareness, interpretation, pre-reading skills, learning about letters and numbers, and promoting
In view of visual illustration, show-and-tell is a good opportunity for this as they could also tell a popular story or folktale using pictures, gestures, and movements
As a future educator, I think having positive relationships with each student is important. Every child is different. They learn different and respond differently to certain situations. One main strategy is to talk to your students, not at them. Allow them to have a voice and express their opinions in the class activities. I’ve learned that there’s no such thing as bad behavior, just mistaken behavior. We often mistake a child’s unwanted actions as a result of bad behavior, but in actuality, it’s the result of another or potentially serious problem. We are there to help not
Caring for students is central to the relationship development between student and teacher. I have seen firsthand how caring can make a difference for if students want to show up and learn. I had a science teacher in high school who was not a great teacher. I could have gotten past his bad curriculum had he not showed how much he could care for some students and not for others. Every day, this teacher would socialize with the football players, who were allowed to work in a separate part of the classroom (even though no one else was allowed there) and who seemed to get great grades with little effort. I would have appreciated being able to ask the teacher questions about our assignments, but felt like I wasn’t a welcome presence when I did, so I just stopped asking. On the other hand, I had another amazing science teacher who made each student feel cared for and like they mattered. He was honest about his life, open with the students to discussing their lives outside of the curriculum and made sure that the curriculum allowed many different types of learners to flourish. He interacted with each student and even though I never went to him with a problem, I felt like he would understand if I did. It is hard to characterize the difference between the classrooms because the caring that one
The Core Body of Knowledge: New York State’s Core Competencies for Early Childhood Educators is a set of standards, written by the NYS Early Childhood Advisory Council for those professionals who work with young children in different areas. The standards exist to provide daily practice for professionals who wrok with children. It is a guide for programs administrators and directors to help them assess the performance of the their staff and to help in area that need developing. They help training organizations with evaluation and development of opportunities for professionals. They assist teacher education programs. They support local and stat agneices in policy making and public and private investments. The standards are separate into
• Read Kid s Lik e M e in C hin a , A t H o m e in T his W o rld , W e S e e t h e M o o n and W h e n Y o u W e r e B o r n in C hin a aloud together, and use the photographs and illustrations in these books for jumping-off points for discussion. Ask open- ended questions that allow your child to interpret what she’s hearing and seeing, and to express her own thoughts.
Teachers are encouraged to promote positivity in the atmosphere and smile in the mornings. For the most part, colleagues communicate fairly well with each other and with parents. Most students and teachers show each other respect and a sense of compassion. As a result of diversity amongst staff member, the school is able to service many
Children like to read picture books. Many different types of books exist, and reading books could influence children. There are many research topics about how picture-book reading affects oral and written skills, or how reading affects parent-child relationship. The article is different from the majority of research that relates to picture books. The research is about how young children transfer information from picture book to real world.
In comparison, it is important to reflect on activities done in the classroom and extend the skills to introduce new ones. An example of this would be, all week my cooperating teacher read books about Halloween and about fall. Later in the week she introduced trick-or-treating baskets with fake candy to the children and explained how these items would be placed in the housekeeping center. Recently I have also seen a stuffed turkey make its way into this center for Thanksgiving. As the seasons and holidays change, my cooperating teacher is adding more props to extend the students play. Through reading I also learned that children’s imagination will turn everyday items into “new” materials. Immediately I thought of how the students in my practicum class take the chairs around the kitchen tables and create a cage around the corner of the center for the dog. The chairs act as a gate, similar to a kennel the children would put their dog in at home. However, I read that it is appropriate for children in the housekeeping center to move about the entire space, not just confining to one area because that
In terms of language development children will be able to extend their oral language skills and verbal sounds. Music helps children with verbal skills, especially by nursery rhymes, singing and dancing. Through the presence of recurring poetry and the use of a bigger vocabulary, children learn to speak and write better.
In the field of education, no matter what position you carry relationships are the key. Relationship can be defined as, “an emotional or other connection between people” (dictionary.com). During an academic school year, as well as throughout the duration of a teacher’s career as an educator, it is important to build teacher-student, teacher-parent, teacher-administrator, and teacher-teacher relationships. Not only does a teacher have to build these relationships but he/she has to make sure that they are positive and effective relationships.
The teacher student relationship is very important for children. Children spend approximately 5 to 7 hours a day with a teacher for almost 10 months. We ask ourselves what is considered a good teacher? All of us have gone through schooling, and if fortunate had a favorite teacher. A positive relationship between the student and the teacher is difficult to establish, but can be found for both individuals at either end. The qualities for a positive relationship can vary to set a learning experience approachable and inviting the students to learn. A teacher and student who have the qualities of good communications, respect in a classroom, and show interest in teaching from the point of view of the teacher and learning from a student will
