I must say that this course has been very enlightening in my educational journey in early childhood education. Towards the end of the course I had surgery and a very time consuming mishap with my mother in love and her health. This made the last few weeks of the course quite horrendous; but with understanding from my colleagues as well as you professor, I am able to see the light at the end of the tunnel! In spite of these mishaps, I feel that this class and what I have learned will definetely prepare me more for my role in early childhood education.
As a young child I always knew that I wanted to be a teacher! Even playing the role with family members when we were able to capture a moment of play together. This is what started my passion for my role that I currently serve. As a teacher, in order to keep up with changing times, new procedures, as well as any other aspect of change, we have to be prepared and ready for that change and how to help make that change a success within the realms of the classroom. This class has taught me why this change is so important to the field. Nothing ever stays the same and things are forever evolving; and when a program is able to be evaluated then necessary ideas of change are brought forth to make the program a better atmosphere for learning and connecting with children and the families that are being served. Change is hard, but it's always necessary! Self-evaluation is just as important as program evaluation. Through this class we have learned that evaluation tools such as CLASS are necessary so that teachers can consistently evaluate themselves for a better learning experience for the children that are being served. This class has taught me a lot and am glad to have shared this journey with all of you!
