How I See

What do you see in your mind when you think of an early childhood teacher?

Early Childhood teacher has an enormous responsibility. The child's  first organizational environment after his home is  the preschool.  The ECE teacher should be an optimistic character who has a positive point of view about the life. Additionally she must have a vast understanding about the main domain of human development such as Biosocial , Cognitive and Phychosocial. Also the appearance , purity and high-quality performance  attract students and parents. The teacher is a role model  and her ideas and beliefs circulate faster than anything. The most important factor about a child's life is significant others. The teacher - child relationship is more significant because of the  strong influence on the student's character (quality of the relationship) rather than the technical and educational background of the person. The importance of interpersonal relationship is an association  rather than persons knowledge, specialty or techniques (Boltan 1989). The teacher who connects with the students' perspective will  improve cognitive development, self awareness and Phychosocial development. Learning is processed through the sharing of concern. The activities what build interpersonal relationships between teacher-child will develop a protective bond between them. When teacher aware and respond to child concern , trust will  develop in the child's mind. Therefore Teacher should express love, caring and a strong relationship with the students are more vital.

 What do you see when you think of the children?

Children are blanks, the society who fills the blanks.  Children are unique individuals who stimulate by the environment. Even though human has the same body parts, same shape of the brain,  responding , think in a different ways. Children take a long time to be independence but it needs to start from the childhood with a step by step process. Most of the time children have failed to face new challenges since their  personality development decrease. The main reason  parents are not providing opportunities  and support to  explore the environment . Every person has their own developmental pattern. We can't get the same result still giving a same education to the same age group  because of the varying development  patterns.  Therefore every person has a responsibility about our future , our children. Parents need to pay more attention to children. Being independence  is not children to grow however or do whatever. If we plant a good seed we can get a valuable harvest. Parents have the primary responsibility about their children.

What do you envision when you think of an early childhood classroom?

The colorful welcoming environment with full of  hands on activities where children can learn. The organization what has equal rights among children. Every child expects their teacher's attention , love and caring. The environment where children can improve in physically and mentally, emotionally and socially and academically. The outdoor activities , play time is the most important for their development in every way. Therefore clean outdoor environment with safe play materials and proper attention. Water/sand for children 2 years up & it's helped them to learn about levels, amounts. This is their very first math lessons. They also can feel water weather it's cold or hot , what will happen when it spill on the ground, what happened to the water after it absorb. Theses are their first science lessons. Curriculum needs to include Music, Dance , Reading books, Art other than academic. This is building a balanced routine of learning other than forcing the child. Environment is the major influence of human growth. The culture , discipline , Learning & future begins with their playtime, once they demonstrate different characters , waiting for their turns, obey to the rules, respect to each other, express feelings  &  verbal & non verbal communication maturity. Colorful poster bring visual education in the class and pictures can talk more. Reading corner that kids can relax and choose books. More than everything the kind character who can understand little mind and can build a positive relationship between the children.
