I-1.7—To use assessment information to understand and support
children’s development and learning, to support instruction, and to identify
children who may need additional services.
This
ideal is important to me because through my experience in elementary education
I have realize how beneficial assesments can be in identifying children’s strengths
and weaknesses. Assessments when used appropriately can help us understand how
a child learns in order to help them reach the next level.
I-2.7—To share information about each child’s education and
development with families and to help them understand and appreciate the
current knowledge base of the early childhood profession.
This
ideal is important to me because we spend a lot of time with children sometimes
more than their own parents. When we share information about the child with
their parents we are giving them a glimpse of a side of their child they may
not get to see. Sharing information with these parents helps to keep them
involved which is vital to their child’s development.
I-3A.3—To support co-workers in meeting their professional needs and
in their professional development.
This
ideal is extremely important to me. I have met many early childhood educators
that did not know their worth. I have made it a personal mission to help build
up these educators when I encounter them and help them to understand that their
job and their influences in needed and very important.
