Blog wk 8
Before reading my last blog for this course, I want to say
to all fellow classmate, we made it and we all are one step closer to
accomplishing our goal of graduating. Hope all has been well for you this
course and hope to see your name in course 6163.
Now, three consequences I feel came from learning about
international early childhood field for my development are:
1. Research
aspect because if an educator wants to become an advocate for young children on
a particular area. Being able to view what goes on nationally as well as
internationally is important. One has to be able to see things from all angles,
when looking up information to better a generation’s well-being.
2. Comparison is
needed to see how far we are off from another country educational standards or
to see how close we are to surpassing another country’s standards. We need to
know this, in my opinion. Knowing is half the battle and in order to make
changes possible, one has to be current with what is occurring all over the
world. By gaining different perspectives on what is considered the standard of beneficial
development for small children, such as social, emotional and cognitive skills,
than they can begin to be upheld.
3. Policies can
be developed from having researched information and the comparison notes that
will help our young children in the best way possible. Children like and need rules
but we must remember not to push a child to the point where they hate to go to
school. Having trial and error experiments to see what is the best avenue to
take for our children. We do need to get a child to reach higher than they feel
they can accomplish but not too hard ever.
My Goal is to
continue to broaden my international awareness about education and other world issues
and trends that continue occurring. I am definitely going to continue to view
and gather knowledge from the website that I have had the pleasure of viewing
all course called Save the Children. I will continue to try and establish a
relationship with an international educator or representative that deals
firsthand with small children.
yes indeed, we made it to the end. The work required for every week just keeps coming without break. I hardly can finish them given the fulltime job and other works needed to be done. To finish the work, I did it overnight. Haven't done this for a long time.
ReplyDeleteyour explanation on learning is good. These are the necessary skills required being an educator even after the course is completed. We have to continue to learn and update ourselves with new development in the field and conduct research to help ourselves resolve or work out good program for our children responsible. Early childhood education is a long term plan for a country. Government has to support for it and it is the responsibility of the Government. As an individual, we will do as much as we can to help the children and to convince the government what needs to be done. thankyou for sharing.
Yes, Research, Comparison, Policies, we should always share and encourage each other in all areas, I also intend to keep reaching out in an effort to make connections to other colleagues in the Early Childhood Educational field. It doesn't matter if its here in the US, or abroad, we can all learn many things about each other and how to best serve the young learners. Take care N. Moore, and I hope to see your name again too, Always your colleague Darlene Thomas ;-D
