I have learned a great deal about the early childhood education field while taking this course (Issues and Trends in the Early Childhood Field). We have researched and discussed issues relating to changing demographics and diversity, poverty, influences of economics, neuroscience, and politics, and equity and excellence in care and education of children, families, and EC professionals.
I have learned that early childhood classrooms vary a great deal in their environment and practices throughout the world, but they are also similar in many ways. There are so many resources available to help families and educators of young children. Teachers should be aware of these resources so that they can share them with families who need assistance.
A goal that I have for the early childhood field is to continue to research ways to improve my understanding of the early childhood education field. I hope to find a way to be a part of heightening global awareness of the importance of early childhood education.
Angela,

ReplyDeleteI believe that we all were surprised, yet happy, to discover the similarities between the ECE program in the United States and around the world. This course has shown me just the serious impact that the ECE field has all around the world. This is field grows stronger which each passing year. I have enjoyed reading your post throughout the duration of this course. Best wishes in your future endeavors.
Angela,
ReplyDeleteit very interesting to find out that children across the globe have the same approches in learning. Not only do children in the US have a right to learn but children all over the world have a right to learn. The beauty of education. Thank you sharing.

Angela,
ReplyDeleteI think it is refreshing to see that there are so many advocates around the world for children. Knowing that we are all working towards the same goal makes it easier to work at it. It was also an eye opener learning about the issues and trends in the field, and I look forward to doing more research.
