    Cda Competency Goal 4

    As an early childhood professional, it is my responsibility to establish positive and productive relationships with the families of the children I care for. Since the parents entrust the wellbeing of their children to me, it is important that they feel as though they are not only an active part of their children’s lives when away, but also an active member in the development of their child. In order to be successful at this, I will maintain an open, friendly, and cooperative relationship with each child's family. By inviting the parents to visit and volunteer as often of possible, I will be able to build a trusting relationship. This type of relationship both encourages the child’s relationship with their family, and my relationship with the family.…

    Ece 311 Final Paper

    Before making a decision on the approach I liked the best, I evaluated the theoretical perspectives: behaviorist, nativist, cognitive development and interactionist. The behaviorist theory “emphasizes the role of nurture and considers learning to occur based on the stimuli, responses and reinforcements that occur in the environment” (Otto, 2010. p. 32). The behaviorist theory was developed by B.F. Skinner. I believe when using this theory, teachers could enforce classroom rules and consequences. Teachers could also use a chart to document behavior. Each day a child does not misbehave; they could…

    Behavioral management is extremely important in early educational settings. Its purpose is to teach children proper academic and social skills. If a child is presenting negative behaviors this can impede their ability to learn academically, and therefore a teacher needs to design opportunities and activities to guide their development of appropriate social behaviors (Smith, 2009). With this being said it is important to have a game plan in place on how to deal with challenging behaviors that may present themselves. Thinking proactively will help you to remain calm and rational during chaos.…

    SOC 312 Final Paper

    After graduating from Ashford University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Child Development; , I am hoping to obtain a job working in the Public school system alongside the Pre-k teachers in implementing programs for Pre-k or become an owner of a childcare center. The nature of families and children in relation to society is important for my profession because in order to help improve the childcare center. I also hope to develop programs for Pre-k that children and their families will benefit from. I first need to know how the child’s family has a big impact on the child’s life and their ability to function in society. Not knowing anything about the child’s background, I feel like I won’t be able to do my job as best to my ability and give the child the appropriate guidance that they need to be successful. Every child is different and part of that comes from their family and home environment. This is what makes them unique and they bring that uniqueness to the classroom. Before we can try to understand the child we first need to understand the child as a whole, their background and family life.…
