Words of Inspiration and Motivation

Ideals contained in the NAEYC and DEC codes of ethics that are meaningful to me: "To work to ensure that appropriate assessment systems, which include multiple sources of information, are used for purposes that benefit children" (NAEYC, 2005 1.4.5). Response: This is significant to my professional life in that, too often we as educators fail our students and limit their capacity to grow and excel through one type of assessment, which is "paper and pen" which is Formative assessment. There are numerous ways of assessing students capabilities. A few of these strategies are Portfolio, Journals, Observations, Checklists, Running Records, Reflections and many others. "We shall provide services and supports to children and families fairly and equitably while respecting families’ culture, race, language, socioeconomic status, marital status, and sexual orientation" (The Division for Early Childhood, 2009). Response: Each child has the right to high-quality servic

Improving Boy's Education in Early Childhood

  I have selected the topic of Improving Boy's Education in Early Childhood. Because it is a fact that globally we are losing our boys. As a result, we can hardly find healthy males willing to take their rightful position in society. Also, to assist females with certain tasks. With that said, I have found a fascinating article regarding our boys. Article: Raising and Educating Healthy Boys: A Report on the Growing Crisis in Boys’ Education  Here is the link to the article: https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED500855.pdf Summary of the Article Children as young as three and four are really good at observing, and they see the inequities. We are sanctioning this in our practices, and everyone is absorbing it. -- Luba Lynch Executive Director A.L. Mailman Family Foundation  We need to start addressing issues of gender socialization of boys and girls at the preschool level. At stake is the full potential of each individual child’s cognitive, social, and emotional development. -- Barbara

Farewell Team

These past eight weeks have been amazing. My interest was aroused by the stimulating learning resources that I encountered along the way, which allowed me to persevere and develop a  growth mindset as I traverse this professional journey and explore essential skills, components of communication processing. In addition, the myriad of communication competencies, approaches and techniques, and verbal and nonverbal cues along with listening, gestures and expressions have enhanced the way I communicate and will be beneficial as I interact with my students and their families, colleagues, relatives and organisations and agencies. Besides, understanding how my schema and perception of others can influence how I communicate was eye-opening. The self-assessment brought mind-blowing results to the fore that will help me improve or reexamine my communication skills. In addition, the complexities of intercultural communication have highlighted the significance of culture during interaction and allo
