This article talks about how in Early Childhood that the emotions are an integral part of a teacher’s job and have an impact on teacher effectiveness, behavior, cognition and motivation. As educators they have a huge effect on the child’s behavior, in the article it states that “Usually when you are just starting out as a teacher is when you are most vulnerable and some tend to leave the field.” They mainly leave because some can’t handle the children’s emotional behavior at that moment, to them it’s too difficult to control so they give up. In my opinion I completely agree because if you’re going to be an educator you have to be patient while working with children because if you don’t then you will be miserable. Teaching is supposed to be fundamental. According to the article Early childhood teachers need high emotional intelligence to cope with on-the-job stressors and to serve as positive role models for the children in their care. Self-assessment is never easy. It is helpful to record some classroom episodes that warrant reflection later on due to their impact on the children. Such an episode might involve you, the teacher, regretting your impulsive response to the difficult behavior of a child in the class. Trust is an important variable when teaching with others in the same classroom. It allows for constructive feedback to better meet the needs of the children in the class. I thought this article was amazing and straight-forward. In made me understand better of the role of being a Teacher, I saw a whole different side towards good classroom management and so on.
