Personal Statement: A Career In Early Childhood Education

I am a qualified Childcare Practitioner with 12 years’ experience, who would love the opportunity to embark on a career as a Primary Teacher. I am currently employed in a local authority pre-five nursery class within a Primary School. I aspire to become a teacher as I feel it will offer me new challenges and a chance to further develop my love of teaching. I am a dedicated worker and continually strive to provide high standards. I also promote confidence, respect and compassion to ensure all members of the nursery and school are respected.

I believe that as an early childhood educator my goal will be to promote the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development of each child. I also believe that play should be the base of learning since children learn best by doing. I believe that a balance between teacher-directed and child-initiated activities is essential balance can be developed by using the developmentally appropriate practice approach, which means that activities should be “appropriate for each child and relevant to the child’s ability, needs and interests, also including the child’s family and being respectful to the child’s culture.

I am glad that we will be pursuing this journey together. I am pursuing an Ed. D in Early Childhood Education. I have always had a passion for working with young children. My focus will primarily be on Kindergarten and first grade. Although Common Core State Standards are not required Pre-K but teachers are required to make sure that preschoolers are prepared to be successful in Kindergarten. Pre-K students are not incapable and, although they are very young, they are able to engage in meaningful learning experiences. It is important to address the youngest learners in public schools and early childhood centers. The better prepared our young learners are, the better their chances of success in school and

In elementary school, I was a shy girl, but my parents would never believe that statement from any teacher. As a child, I ran around, danced on an imaginary stage, and read vigorously. Nevertheless, the quiet girl in their class perplexed teachers, but one teacher pushed me out of my shell and onto a stage. In that moment, the perception of me being a quiet student disappeared, and the chance to grow as a better person arose.

My future plans are to graduate from College of the Ouachitas with my Associate of Applied Science degree in early childhood education and then transfer to Henderson State Unversity to major in Human Services. My Early childhood education degree is my backup plan. I will always have something to fall on. No, I do not plan on teaching elementary school.

My chosen field is early child education, and I will use what I learn in anthropology often. Each household across America has its own culture. When a student’s family’s thought process is not like my own I will need to think of it objectively. I will often find differences in thinking due to family traditions, religious affiliation, and their economic situation and other situations. I will need to look at this family objectively without making a judgement on them. I will also may have to change teaching methods and what is important to my current children in my class as the world evolves over the years. I will spend my years teaching, asking questions about what my current students need and how I can better understand and help them to achieve

My dream job is to be a Montessori Preschool Teacher. Ever since I was five years old I wanted to be a teacher. When I found the Montessori philosophy, I instantly knew that this was my calling.

This mindset is a heavy responsibility but satisfying Going to school is the best way to get knowledge about this subject, however, there are not that many adult education programs who specialize in this so you really have to research the ones that fit your values and that are near you. Some junior colleges offer a program suited to this and to get the Montessori Teaching Credential you must take three ECE classes for the nine unit requirement to add on to the Montessori training school units.Experience does help as well and if you are lucky, you can find a job while going to school and get paid completing your internship.l It is inspiring as you go through the process of educating yourself.

I have done my research when I was in school and I found it helpful, which will hopefully guide someone else to follow their dreams.
