Professional Development and Preparation
4.
We shall support professionals new to the field by mentoring them in the
practice of evidence and ethically based services.
This is important to me for several reason some are
personal and some professional. I have many “little friends” in the community as
well as family that will be entering into school and I would like to see that
they are getting the best of the best to instruct them in the pursuit of
knowledge. This is also important me professional for the simple reason that if
the new and upcoming teachers know and understanding how to teach young
children then it would make my job easy and to also I am able to see the field
of early childhood education with new eyes.

To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each
child.
This is so important in the field of early childhood
education. I see young children coming into my classroom each year with scared
little faces because they are leaving their home environment that they are so accustomed
to that it breaks my little heart. I remember each new school year as to how my
daughter was in her first year of school. I try to react the way in which I did
then. I have the come into classroom given love and leaving with love. Which
means they get a hug from Mrs. Elaine to start each day and to end each day.
This is my way to let them know that I love them and I tell them each you are
special and you are smart, and there is only one of you and they can do
anything they want to if you try your best.

To support the right of each child to play and learn in an inclusive
environment that meets the needs of children with and without disabilities.
Each day in class we run though the “Good Morning. How
are you today?” song. I can often see if a child is feel good or bad that day.
The children are allow to say whatever they want. Some say a super hero some
will say how they feel. We often talk about the way people are different and
how people are the same. In our morning large group we talk about anything they
want to. When we have a child that comes into our class and has a disabilities I
will often team them up with someone as a “buddy”. However it usual works out
that everyone is everyone’s “buddy”. By showing love to each child they learn
to show love to everyone.
