Demonstrates Competent Communication Week 1

The person who demonstrates competent communication is my mother.  For instance, my mother is my emotional support and my foundation.  I can come to her for advice, and she continues to guide me whenever I am facing life’s circumstances.  What makes my mother effective is that she is a great communicator, and she is a great listener.  I am extremely close to my mother, and we have extensive conversations on a consistent basis.  My mother is sensitive to my needs and wants, for whatever I am concerned with, she is concerned also.  My mother always display empathy towards my siblings and me because she understands what we are experiencing throughout life.  She is also aware of who she is as a woman and as a mother.  I would like to fashion some of my own communication behaviors after my mother because she is my role model.  I have already expressed some of my mother’s competent communication tendencies because I am empathetic and caring as well.  Hopefully, more of my mother’s competent communication rubs off on me as I continue to interact with family, friends, and the children I teach.

    Hello Teresa!
    Oh! what great things that I hear you saying about your mother. Just reading your blog, I know that she is a great person. It made me think about the woman that brought me into this world also. If you love her continue because it does not last always. Cherish her for what she is doing in your life. Let her know while she lives how she have encouraged and are encouraging you to be all that you want to be.

Professional Goals, Hopes and Dreams

One of the new insights that I gained in relation to international early childhood education that relate to my professional goals is to be a leader in my community, for I want to own a daycare center.  That way, all children would be able to receive an education.  According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (2011), “The Education for All Global Monitoring Report 2011 noted that 7.3 million primary school-aged children in Pakistan were out-of-school in 2008 (UNESCO, 2011), the majority of whom were girls” (cited in Mahmud, 2014, p. 6).  Unfortunately, it can be implied that in Pakistan, many children are not obtaining the knowledge they need to move forward in their education.  If I had my own daycare center, I would make sure that every child in my community would receive some type of schooling so that they are not lacking the foundation necessary to aide in their development.  While I plan to take the initiative as a leade...

Final Blog Assignment

There are many outcomes that I gleaned from learning about the early childhood field from an international perspective.  For instance, according to Hale (2014), there are three consequences that early childhood practitioners learn about how the field is enduring overseas.  She writes, The first consequence of learning about the international early childhood field is that as early childhood educators, we live in a world that calls for continuous change, and therefore, information on best practices and best policies can be utilized throughout the world.  The second consequence of learning about the international childhood field is that having an awareness has to be developed.  When early childhood practitioners are unaware of their students, the students’ families, and of themselves, then the opportunity for discussion and growth cannot be established so that all parties understand the willingness to be invested in children’s development and children’s education....

Examining Codes of Ethics

NAEYC code: I-1.1—To be familiar with the knowledge base of early childhood care and education and to stay informed through continuing education and training. This code is significant to my professional life because field of early childhood education, the best practices and information utilized to educate young children continues to change.  I have been in the early childhood education profession for almost 20 years, and because my professional goal is to own a daycare center, I have to stay informed of the changes in practices and techniques needed in the early childhood so I can provide young children with the education they need to progress in their academic journey. NAEYC code: I-1.3—To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.  This ideal is important to my professional life because as an early childhood education professional, teachers must be able to recognize that   each child is unique and different. When working ...
