My choices were based off my education experiences and how educators need to provide the best educational expeiences for our children. We should include their culture and involve the families and the community so all of our children will be life-long learners.
Alice I like your choices. It is important as an ECE educator to realize the importance of those early years. By being a positive influence in a child's life and providing them with the best education and meeting their needs will determine their future. It is also very important to include families in their child's education. It shows that they care but most importantly they can follow through at home with activities that will enhance what they are learning in school.
ReplyDeleteAlice I chose the one about involving the culture of the kids as well. I think it is important that they didn't lose their culture.
