The three Ideals that I feel are the most important are:
1-1.1 To be familiar with the knowledge bose of early childhood care and education and to stay informed through continuing education and training.
(because if a teacher or someone else working with kids does not stay informed with new research or studies going on with children they will not know how to best serve them.)
1-1.3 To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.
(We need to be able to give each child with love and attention and hope that they will be able to succeed in school and life. Each child is unique and special and need to be able to give them the best education possible.)
1-1.5 To create and maintain safe and healthy settings that foster children's social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development and that respect their dignity and their contributions.
(Each child needs to have a fair chance in life and in order to do that we need to make sure that all things are taken into consideration. The children need to be able to have a safe environment in order for them to succeed, both at home and at school, and as teachers and advocates make sure we are doing the best job to supply them with the things needed to support them.)
Also we need to keep informed because as the world change so are the teaching techniques and there are always new resources....
ReplyDeleteEach child should be viewed as an individual who has different needs. If we were all the same, how boring would that be?
ReplyDeleteI-1.1 a teacher should always be flexible and easily adapt to new methods. We often get stuck in a rut and do things the same way over and over again. Just because it works for the teacher doesn't mean its working for the student/
