I-1.3—To recognize and respect the unique qualities,
abilities, and potential of each child.
I-1.10—To ensure that each child’s culture, language,
ethnicity, and family structure are recognized and
valued in the program.
-1.1—To be familiar with the knowledge base of early
childhood care and education and to stay informed
through continuing education and training.
The reason I chose these three conducts is because I feel they are very important for a successful program to be ran. As professional educators it is important to understand the uniqueness and difference in every child's ability. Each child is going to be different and as educators we must respect their qualities to ensure further success. With that being said each child will come from different backgrounds so as professional educators we have to make it as comfortable as possible so they can want to educate themselves. I want the best for each and every child that comes my way so I need to be knowledgeable about the early childhood field and take pride in remaining well-versed through continuing learning and preparation.
That is so true that every child is different and comes from a different background. That is one thing that I try so hard to get people to understand is that everyone is not like you people may not be as fortunate as you but that do not make them a bad person.
ReplyDeleteBeing that I now have my first job in the early childhood field, I will have to respect and understand that not all children comes from the same cultural or background. I will make sure that different cultural will be a lesson that I will teach so that the children can understand as well.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree with ideal number three. How many times have we come across stale co-workers who are using outdated practices and just destroying the minds of children because they refuse to grow and learn? We have to keep up to date with current ideas and research in order to be effective.
ReplyDeleteCarlos,
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your post I see that we both feel that the children are the number one concern in the early childhood field. In order to be successful in the field the professional has to be dedicated and educated on the changes that will come about. The professional has to make sure that they are aware of policies that exist as well as current research that is being conducted. This will allow the professional to address the needs of each child as well as the needs of the families. The professional must also make sure that they are also aware of the resources that are available.
Children and their family are team that can not be separated, working with them peaceful is very important for any educator. This course have opened my eye to different areas of early years education.
