1. Please write a brief reflection about the topics and issues that
stood out to you the most this semester. What would you like to know more
about? What programs were you drawn to? How has your teaching changed because
of this course?
Through this semester we wen through a lot of different topics and even if a lot of the articles and programs I read through was all interesting and it made me think a lot about the things that go on in my own classroom too.
One topic that I found really interesting was the project approach. First of all through out the class it always seemed as if all the topics would relate back to this. Understanding what the project approach is; how this study lead to a lot of the programs that we have like Montessori, Waldorf, and Reggio, from these types of programs you take a little deeper look at what children are learning and how they are developing through the course between the ages of 2-6 and how preschool is a very huge impact towards children.
Another topic that I found interesting through this semester was basically the overall from the developmental stage for children, through the readiness, and how different preschool is and how its a huge "gap" or "debt" to kindergarten. Having that said I wish we went a little more in this part because I found this article was interesting with how different the learning is from preschool to kindergarten and how the development to preschool and grade school can change so easily just by a standardized test or how your age shows how ready you are for school.
As for my teaching I feel I have grown more confident the more I go through these Education classes because its comfortable knowing that there are others that understand what its like being in classrooms or working with children so my perspective on my own teaching is growing as I begin to form my own kind of teaching style

ReplyDeleteJasmine, I enjoyed reading more about the project approach. I feel like this would be a good thing to take part in, in my classroom one day. We did read about some very interesting topics that made me think in-depthly. Thank you for sharing your thoughts through out the semester. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteHi Jasmine,
ReplyDeleteIt was great working with you too! Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this semester - the Project Approach is a really exciting approach to ECE - I hope you get to learn more about it and maybe even get to see it in practice. Perhaps it might be something you could use in your own teaching? Good luck in future classes!
