Long term goal.

I want to continue to learn and grow as an educator.  My passion is to help educators get trained an make changes to help children that come to America adjust to school.  We need to change the methods we use to help them acclimate to our school systems.     We need better ways to overcome language barriers, provide better resources and capabilities to all schools especially the schools in low income areas, and provide continued education for teachers so they may  better serve these children.

Lessons learned

A good leader needs to have integrity, honesty, open mindedness, good communication skills, be an active listener, have accountability, be a decision maker and the ability to delegate and work collaboratively.
Communities of practices are formed by people who engage is collective learning.  The participants work in a collaboration to address common concerns and passion  Their goal is to make enhancements to procedures.   

 Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact (Wenger 2006). 

 Conversations and communication from various individuals, effective members are able to problem-solve and work together towards a common goal (Winer & Ray, 1994). 
As early childhood educators core members of our teams needs to be the children and their families  we need to always keep in mind that children are our focus and the common area we all strive to help be successful.

    I appreciate your input and support over the weeks as well. We have all grown into better leaders and hopefully better advocates. I wish you nothing but the best on your journey and future endeavors. I can't believe we are finally finished, it feels great. This is something I could not imagine completing in a field that I am very passionate about. Our number one priority as experienced leaders should be well-being of children! We share a common interest which is making resources available to children in families in need. Goodluck and God Bless!

Childhood Stressers

In the past few years,  my family had a lot of financial difficulties,  there was not enough money for bills and food,   I was working between 2 to three jobs,  taking any kind of work that come my way.  Having 2 small boys on top of it was very difficult to manage.    I always needed help to watch them  and was always shuffling them around from place to place.  They had no order no structure and constant chaos, they were always crying and upset  They started to withdraw and struggle in school.  The became very clingy to me.  Their eating habits were terrible.  I had to take better control of the situation.  Thankfully I was able to find more stability in work and able to be available for my children on a constant basis.    They are happy   well adjusted and thriving as a 13, 11 and 8 year old young men. Extreme poverty leads to stunted development, limited future productivity as adults, and inte...

Research Simulation

                             Why is your simulation important to the field of early  childhood? My simulation regarding the difference in quality of early  childhood education between high and low income levels is  important because All children should be afforded the same quality  education no matter what their economic status.  Once we can identify the gaps in quality we can fill the voids and ensure all children are provided the same education.  If you were to conduct your simulation proposal, who would benefit? The simulation will not only benefit the children in low income  areas it can benefit the educators by identifying gaps in the programs so they may be addressed and better programs put into place.   What are some of the ways your perceptions of an early childhood professional have been modified as a result of this course? My percept...

Immunization

According to vaccines.gov safe and effective vaccines have eliminated some diseases like small pox and Polio which in the past have killed thousands of people.  New vaccines are only releases and administered after long and careful research.  Getting vaccinated and following a schedule can protect not only children and adults but also babies who may not be of age to receive certain vaccines. (vaccine.gov). The importance of getting vaccinated against worldwide illnesses before traveling outside the United states is extremely important to protect yourself from diseases we do not have in our country and to ensure not bringing the illness back to our country and causing an epidemic. Pneumonia, diarrhoea, malaria, measles, HIV/AIDS and malnutrition are the primary killers of children in the developing world. These children die because they are poor, they do not have access to routine immunization or health services, their diets lack sufficient vitamin A and other essential mic...
