Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteYour statementabout having a common goal rings out; having teachers, parents and support staff committed to excellence. Like you said, communication is key. Sometimes, I think there are programs that need to fill positions and thus may settle for less than fully committed staff. How do we motivate all involved to seek excellence, especially when the pay is low and the work is hard?
I agree with Tammra communication is always key no matter what we do. Involving everyone in the community helps build solid foundation in learn for the kids and which makes learning fun for the kids. Thats reminds me of the every first video about that little girl.
ReplyDeleteI like your post especially the one with building relationship with children and families. I believe that every child is different and as early childhood professionals, we need to recognize and respect their differences and provide better learning environment to support their maximum potential.
ReplyDeleteI really like your post in regards to listening to families and building upon their strengths. I think that as a early childhood educator listening to families is really important especially when teaching their child the necessities. Educators need to respect the families teaching strategy and provide the child the best learning opportunity possbile.

Receive constructive feedback on our work is such an important part of our personal growth. Sometimes it just good to know you are on the right track. You did that for me on more than one occasion. You were always specific with your comments and always respectful. It was wonderful getting to know you!
