The Core Values as they relate to children, are important to me as a professional, because I believe that children are innocent, and need numerous voices to stand up for their needs. Advocating for children, and families; brings me joy. Not every family has the resources, means and knowledge to stand up for what is right as far as education and health goes, so I always offer my assistance.
The commitment to children is easy, I believe that each child is different, they learn differently and they express themselves differently, and as a professional this should be recognized and addressed accordingly. Nurture a child, bring out the best in a child, and encourage a child.
As a professional, research in education is important it makes this field of early childhood more interesting. Times have changed and so have the children and the way that they learn and receive information. In any research it is important to conceal, and maintain securely the information of the children and families, unless a release of information is signed. Privacy and trust are important, I would not want to loose the trust of the people that I serve.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you on "the commitment to children is easy". All children can be taught as an educator we have to learn how to teach them. No child is unteachable.
ReplyDeleteEven though children learn in different ways, it is up to us as educators to find the ways in which they learn best. It is important that we make each child feel as though he or she is special regardless of the pace or rate in which they learn.
DeleteIt is awesome that you have so much passion for advocating for children and families who are unaware of resources available to them that could better their quality of life. I share the same passion as you do for speaking up for children and families from lower income areas that lack adequate early childhood interventions.
ReplyDeleteYou are right that no child is unteachable. Children do learn in how kind of ways. Yes we do need to encourage children. I love to advocating for children, and families.
