Summary: My Experience At Hudson Guild

I have had a lifetime goal to attend college, it just didn’t happen early in life. When I first came to CCU, there was no doubt that getting my bachelors in early childhood would be my major. My passion has always been young children. It started when I babysat as a young teenager and has continued in my life as a preschool teacher. Education is constantly changing: therefore, I feel I need to have more knowledge and wisdom to be the best teacher possible. Education is by far one of the most important tools to have a successful life. With diligence, I want to be a leading educator and to be a gateway for my students to learn. It’s exhilarating how many lives a teacher will touch each day. A teacher has the power to reach out and make learning a positive and memorable experience for every child. Furthermore, teachers are one of the first caregivers for young children. Although I am not at the beginning of my career, while at CCU, I will grow in faith, help and learn from others, and strive to graduate with honors.

Each learner is unique and individual and if the needs of the learner are discovered and catered for there is an increased chance of success, in my opinion Initial Assessment, can make the difference between failure and success.

Upon first entering college, I struggled deciding at such a young age what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Through babysitting and volunteering with pre-school aged children at my church and through a school program called STARS, it became evident to me I had a love for helping children. It fascinated me to see how they viewed the world around them and how quickly they learned new truths everyday. Nevertheless, I knew I would not get the full enjoyment interacting with children as a schoolteacher because the teacher to student ratio is so large. Classroom demands would make it much more difficult to devot individualized attention to each student, and I did not like that concept. So

Initial assessment is important in relation to determining the competencies an individual may already have, this will ensure that the individual is being taught at the correct level. It can take the form of questions and answers as part of icebreaker activities or open group discussion of

For this assignment, I’ve been told to take several assessments which allowed me to get a better idea of my strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats which may help or hurt me in the future.

Assessment provides information to support the planning of effective learning experiences. By assessing my students I will understand better what they know and can do, so I can further extend their learning where they are already accomplished or I can support the areas which need work. Assessment is also useful as a diagnostic tool (McConney 2015 pp1) when it comes to learning problems and also giftedness in students, so that they can then be better provided for.

This form of assessment allows me to find out children's prior learning experiences and interests and gives me an indication of where they are at, whilst children getting to have a 'voice' in what goes on in their classroom. On top of that, at the start of the term children would be able to engage in theme based lessons by inquiring them to suggest themes they'd like to study over the next half term, this gives children the power to take control of their own learning and supports children's intrinsic motivation of wanting to learn for themselves.

Assessment for learning helps to identify strengths, weaknesses and areas in which extra support may be needed. Learning assessments helps teachers create action plans and plan and prepare lessons and activities. It is important to involve the pupil with assessment for learning by asking for feedback, areas in which they may have found difficult and also praising their achievements. Giving feedback to a pupil that has met their targets is important as this helps to build confidence and self esteem. Discussing targets and learning objective with pupils prior to lesson and providing simple demonstration helps them understand gives them a clear understanding on the expectation of their work. Acknowledging the pupils achievements in the form of positive feedback and displaying their work gives a sense of achievement and acknowledgement of their efforts. Peer assessment can be useful as this helps

There are many reasons why students are assessed and this first section summarises some of the key benefits to students, institutions and teachers as suggested by Race et al (2005). In order to gain qualifications or complete a course, students will be required to prove their competence, knowledge or exposition of a skill, usually through the use of assessments to demonstrate that learning has taken place. Students may find assessment useful as it provides information regarding their progress, or identify areas for further development. Comparisons can be made against other students and this can help to

I have chosen to go into this field because I want to be one of those early childhood teacher that get children ready for important part of life. Having little cousins to watch growing up as well my own children and see them grow in their early education has shown me that I want to be part of that.

To be successful at educating others I must continue to grow, increase and improve within.
