    Senate Bill 2586 Analysis

    Not only Senate Bill 2586 focuses on career pathway but also it proposes educating the whole child curriculum through an allocation of instructional time and financial resources. Allocation of instructional time will help students to develop essential skills for their growth and achievement. Moreover, funding can be of great help to hire more teachers. However, students do need not only sufficient funds but also more time to learn, so as teachers need adequate time to teach. Indeed, the quantity of classroom time is very crucial to learning as well as the time spent in school. Expanding learning time in school means providing an individualized academic literacy goal for students. In other words, time spent learning does matter for student achievement…

    A study conducted by Soltero-Ruiz (2013) examined the perceptions of kindergarten teachers regarding the readiness skills necessary for academic and social success for students entering kindergarten. This study used a quantitative survey to interview 30 public school teachers, six of which also participated in a qualitative interview following the survey. Through the results of this study, it can be noted that out of five primary readiness skills: social skills, literacy skills, academic skills, behavioral skills, and social-emotional skills, 14/30 teachers ranked behavioral skills as being the most important skill for entering kindergarteners followed by social and literacy skills tied with five votes each, social-emotional skills with four votes, and academic skills with only one vote as being the most important skill.

    TDA 2.1

    In addition to my enthusiasm for investing in young lives, I have done some volunteering as a teaching assistant to get some hands-on classroom experience for formal teaching. My experience at the school allowed me to acquire a number of skills and also help enhance my weaker ones. The key skills and strength that I possess for success include my enthusiasm and dedication to my assigned duties and my ability to support and inspire young people through being a good listener to them and offering appropriate advice. I am also highly skilled in assisting the instructor in supervision of students’ arrival and departure time, performing clerical and record keeping tasks and maintaining discipline of the classroom in the absence of the instructor. One of my greatest strengths is helping maintain a well-disciplined learning environment, with minimal interruptions and maximum productivity. This is achieved by pulling misbehaving students aside, reinforcing positive behaviour, and implementing a reward system.…

    Competency Goal Four: To establish positive and productive relationships with families. As an early childhood educator, I have to maintain a positive and productive relationship with the families that come into my preschool. Parents entrust me with their children all day and, I make the parents and families feel as much a part of our classroom and a part of their child’s development. To create this relationship, I work to build an open, friendly and cooperative relationship with each of the children’s family. I make sure to let my families know about my open door policy where they can come into the classroom and stay for a short period of time. A great way to get families involved is to have a volunteer sign up for each of our event at school. I find this is a great way to get my parents involved in the school to help out.…

    Toddler Teaching Philosophy

    The curriculum for infants and toddlers would have a loose structure that incorporates various activities to stimulate development in the areas of sensory, creativity, language, and motor play. Ideally, I would have the children learn about themselves and the world around them through explorations, social interactions, and play. These experiences would be safe, stimulating and supportive while promoting each child’s individual development and optimal potential. The curriculum would help to enhance a child’s sense of identity, self-esteem, independence, trust, and responsibility in…

    Theories of Child Development and Learning

    School readiness, according to maturationists, is a state at which all healthy young children arrive when they can perform tasks such as reciting the alphabet and counting; these tasks are required for learning more complex tasks such as reading and arithmetic. Because development and school readiness occur naturally and automatically, maturationists believe the best practices are for parents to teach young children to recite the alphabet and count while being patient and waiting for children to become ready for kindergarten. If a child is developmentally unready for school, maturationists might suggest referrals to transitional kindergartens, retention, or holding children out of school for an additional year (DeCos, 1997). These practices are sometimes used by schools, educators, and parents when a young child developmentally lags behind his or her peers. The young child's underperformance is interpreted as the child needing more time to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to perform at the level of his or her peers.…

    To help children develop their communication and language I will encourage them to. Communicate with each other through activities and showing their feelings. I set up a dramatic play activity for children to interact with others while having fun. During closing circle time I talk to them asking open-ended questions and wait for them to answer. I also like to use songs for language development. For students whose home language is other than English I use different techniques, other songs that will be easier for them and at the same time they will be learning the new language.

    Why I Want to Be an Early Childhood Teacher

    The topic I chose to write my essay about is being an early childhood teacher because that is what I am studying to be. I have also learned a lot of interesting facts while doing my research. Being an early childhood teacher makes it so the teacher is also a guide to the children they are teaching and is also able to teach the children new things, and keep them safe from any harm that could come their way. As a teacher, you should find some new experiences for the children so they can have fun learning new things and also learn quickly. You will also need to be prepared to talk with large groups of people, whether it be the students’ parents, other teachers or the general public. Another very important thing about being an early childhood educator is having strong management skills so you can have lesson plans, paperwork and other important documents that are needed to be done in a timely manner, instead of waiting until last moment so you can avoid making any mistakes. When you are a teacher, whether it be for young kids, elementary, middle and high school students, there will be many challenges that come along with it, so that’s another thing that would be good for a teacher to be prepared to face. Some of the things a person will need to become an early childhood teacher are: an associate in arts teaching degree and the number of semester hours required (depending on what college you attend) to earn your degree. Having patience, stamina and a personality to work in a room full of energetic children every day is also a great quality for a teacher to have. Some ways to become an effective early childhood teacher are: “have a sound knowledge of subject matter, take a personal interest in each student, and show enthusiasm with students.” Some personal characteristics that are also good to have as an early childhood teacher are “passion, perseverance, willingness to…
