    I like both of the President Johnson's quotes. The one that stands out to me the most is the second one. I work in a title 1 school and I truly believe that for some of my students school is an escape. They also know that the only way out of their situation is to get a better education (although the strengths we go as teachers to get them to understand this is a lot!).

    I like both of these quotes. I love the one President Johnson quote the most because it talks about how we need to give children a way to overcome poverty. Edward Zigler how the child environment shape young children learning. When providing children a learning environment that is loving, children tend to be comfortable in exploring the world around them.

    “It's also the environment that determines a considerable part of the growth and development of children.” -Edward Zigler

    Many of your quotes really spoke to me when I read them but this really stood out to me. When I read it What came to my mind is that even though parents should be involved in their childs life but often when they are not a teacher will give up and say well if the parent isnt going to work with them at home then why should I try to work with them at school. The reason is because that is what we are here for regardless of what the parent is or isn't doing we should still WANT to help the child. I know thats the reason I took my job and it should be the reason why anyone who chooses this field as an educator of preschool age children takes this job. GREAT JOB on the quote really got me thinking. LOVE IT!

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 ...
