Welcome

Well I'm very excited this is my last semester and Kendall College, I am focus to develop a plan of action as an advocate for Early Childhood Education.  I'm looking forward to sharing my educated opinion and with my  fellow collegues. Hopefully I can  gain more knowledge and insight  about being an advocate for the Early Childhood Education Field.

Observation of Classroom teacher Pre-school

Having had discussion and observed this classroom teacher I learned a great deal.  Working  in the inner city handling students can be a difficult task.  Every student comes to school with a totally different mind set. I've watched this teacher using effective reinforcement strategies with positivity to help the student develop great social emotional skills.  I witness his interaction with parents upon entering the classroom by greeting them and welcoming them to become active in their child educational experience.   One of  his biggest challenges is parental involvement parents just drop their children off without looking at parent board that's located in the classroom.  The parents use multiple excuses and reason why they cant be involved.  Also, the lack of materials in the classroom because of low funding.  This teacher communicate great with his parents, those parents who needed extra support he told them about programs and connected them to the counselor of the school.  Overall I learned some good to stuff that I can use inside of my paper.

Topics

It's really hot in Chicago right now, but hey work still needs to be done, after speaking with my hosting teacher, and other professional regarding the topics I selected to write about was very interesting.  I gained a lot of insight about Funding, Parental Involvement, and  the demographic of school.   I need your educated opinion about what you think about the topics I selected. 

How do you feel about the funding for Early Childhood Education?

How can we place a greater demand on parental involvement?
Should we make it mandatory for parents to be involved in their child education?

How does the demographic of school affect Early Childhood Education?

Improvement!!

What are some of the key components in your opinion to make education more valuable?
