CONSEQUENCES OF MY LEARNING FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

COLLECTIVE GOAL OF THE EARLY CHILDHOOD FIELD

One collective and common goal I percieve as I read through the lines of the issues and trends related to tyhe field of ECduring this eight weeks is

THE FIELD OF EARLY CHILDHOOD GLOBALLY, IS INTERESTED IN MAKING CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE QUALITATIVE FOR EVERY CHILD  AND TO DEMONSTRATE  EQUITY IN THE PROCESS OF THIS QUALITY  SERVICE TO FAMILIES AND CHILDREN.

CONSEQUENCES OF MY LEARNING

1.  The global perspective of early childhood studies has afforded me the opportunity to learn that different locations may have their distinctive peculiarities but that generally, similar and same situations face early childhood field, irrespective of the location. A typical example is the issue of poverty. a lot of the issues that trail early childhood revolves around insufficient fund. Hawaii is so plagued with poverty that children of homeless parents take their bath in the school bathroom facility. Poverty in Nigeria makes education inaccessible to lots of young children whose parents are not able to afford to pay for the high cost of preschool and forever, such children have lost that opportunity.

2. With my education, the awareness of the value of the early years has increased and improved. the awareness of professionalism has increased with me and with all who are in my class. Early childhood filed has gained and is gaining more professionals.

3. My immediate community of early childhood, which includes families of children in our care, our workforce and children in our care will gain illumination and feel the impact of what I have learned. Already I have introduced topics like DAP, intentional teacher, language rich environment in the infant and toddler class etc in our PLC class and my early childhood colleagues are always eager to know.

 These past eight weeks have been exciting with new collaborative learning experiences. I usually look forward to our discussion forum and I enjoyed the inputs and the contributions. The blog postings were very enlightening as we saw how much support the filed is blessed with in spite of our many issues.. it is beautiful to be so far apart yet able to rapport together the way we do. One reason we can do this is our common commitment and I honestly salute every one of us. Our common goal is obvious : We seek the best for every child. Our classroom is also peculiar in that it views are global and intended for a global impact.

Thank you, everyone of you contributed and added to me. I sincerely enjoyed this class.

Thanks Jeannie & Stella, your supports in spite of your busy schedule were deeply appreciated. You are both incredible!

All learning without practice will actually not amount to anything. The EC seeks the impact of the much that we have learned, let us begin to contribute in whatever capacity we find our ability. Together, we can make the global early childhood dream of equity and excellence every child's experience.
