Sample Resume : Early Childhood Development

After, reading Morrison’s chapter on implementing Early Childhood programs I have a better understanding of the many programs that are offered. All programs promote child development and learning and focus on effective approaches to connect with children and families. One of the programs that I have heard mostly about is Head Start. I would like to work in a Head start program because of the impact it has on children’s development, and after reading about it I know have more understanding on the program. Head start focuses on parent involvement because research has showed that the more parents become involve in their children’s early childhood education the better they will do in school.

Head Start is a federally funded, education development program that was created in 1965. The program provides education and services for eligible children from low-income families. Head Start 's philosophy focuses on the development of social-emotional, physical and mental health, nutrition, and working with families and the community and stated “low-income people should help plan and run their own programs” (p. 41-42). Head Start has truly expanded their resources over the years by providing a full school year for ages 3-6 years old and offering services such as health screenings, referrals, and social services (p. 42). Most importantly, each and every Head Start program must follow the federal Head Start Program Performace Standards that address all areas of development (p. 42). The program is truly committed to support low-income families and creating an education system that supports all aspects of the child.

meeting educational, health, social service, and parental needs. “Head Start also wants to help bring about a greater degree of social competence in these children (Mallory and Goldsmith,

Head Start was created in 1965, during Lyndon B. Johnson’s presidential administration, as part of the Great Society plan and the War on Poverty (Currie , 2001). After observing the quality discrepancies between low income and high income educational settings, Johnson realized that “Five and six year old children are inheritors of poverty 's curse…(Johnson, 1965)” As a result, he called for the creation of a program that would allow “…preschool children of poverty [to] get a Head Start on their future (Johnson, 1965).” Soon, Head Start was established, with the goal of “enhance[ing] children’s physical, social, emotional and cognitive development (Mississippi Head Start Association, 2012).”

They must stay up to date on the latest education policies and techniques. Since it's beginning, Head Start programs have grown and services have expanded significantly in response to dramatic changes in families and their communities. Local Head Start programs are at the head of these new developments and must constantly re-evaluate themselves to adapt to changes in needs and resources. This attention to program performance and continuous quality improvement is critical. Program evaluation and continuous quality improvement ensures that Head Start programs develop as learning communities.

According to the Administration for Children and Families (2010), “Head Start is a national program that promotes school readiness by enhancing the social and cognitive development of children through the provision of educational, health, nutritional, social and other services to enrolled children and families” (para. 3). Based on this mission subject, it is possible to subject Head Start to a program evaluation based on the following questions: (a) Is Head Start provisioning educational, health, nutritional, social and other services to enrolled children and families? (b) Is the provisioning of educational, health, nutritional, social and other services leading to an enhancement of the social and cognitive development of children? (c) Is the social and cognitive development of children a social good for which taxpayers should pay $7 billion a year? These questions will be addressed, both directly and indirectly, later in this overview.

Great job on your resume! I like how your resume is laid out and how you added the bullets as flowers. This really makes your resume stand out to me. In your education section under Liberty University I would rephrase your sentence to say that you are “majoring in Early Childhood Education.” Listing your Education in bold really makes it stand out so that it is easy to see what you have accomplished. On your present work history I would move that to the top of your work history under Paraprofessional and then add the other work history below it. I would also maybe add a date to the McDonald’s work history since you added dates for all the other jobs. Finally, I have to say I really enjoyed how you listed your leadership roles it makes
