Below is my personal philosophy for working with children. I believe that children are my first priority and I will do my best to nurture the inherent gifts that each one brings and shares with me. I believe what greatly makes a difference in a child’s life is a teacher who cares about each child and who teaches from the heart to touch or challenge every aspect of a child’s personality, cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and cultural during his or her journey with me. I also believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, gain knowledge, and be educated. I will encourage the child to learn and develop at his or her own level. With the guidance, scaffolding, and learning, they will gain knowledge and explore the world in a safe
The first day a child attends pre-school they begin to reveal talents and potential as they get older. It’s a child responsibility to perform there best in his or her studies, but that cannot be achieved without the support and help of a teacher. Growing up as a child I’ve always attended a Catholic school. During freshman year of high school both of my grandparents died, this made me
Honoring the child’s ideas and thoughts – as important as our own sets the foundation
As a teacher I work with children and I love my job. I have taught primary school children of varying ages. I like to think of myself as a dedicated and I think that dedication comes from my personality in the fact that any venture I take on I will put in my best and also the great responsibility it is to assist and develop a young person. I also don’t necessarily take a child’s behaviour at face value. If a child is acting out or not themselves there is normally something deeper going on and I will always try to find the time to talk to them to at least let them know they have someone that will listen to them if they need. I have also found that if a child has truly overstepped the mark dealing with them is always best when you are not reacting in the heat of the moment.
Our unwritten rules are the same being that we work with young children, so its very important to never leave the children unattended because you never know what they could end up in and also its very important to make sure that yo entertain the children because they always seem to act up when nobody is entertaining them. I agree with you that working with children makes you responisble because you know children are the hardest thing to watch so to know that you can watch them and take care them without any trouble is a good thing.
United Kingdom as a nation has national minimum standards requirements for children’s care homes. The current policies that govern those minimum standards include Children Leaving Care Act 2000, Human Rights Act 1998, Office for National Statistics and Local Authority circulars (e.g. LAC (2004). There is emphasis on multi-agency working following a child centred
My overall expectation is to believe in making a difference at the place of work and in the children’s lives by being totally
I am sure of this by virtue of the fact that my heart sings as I employ my strength of being a womb man — (and giver of life) to empower young minds. My heart sings as I fight to eradicate injustice and systemic oppressions ingrained in global education systems. My heart sings as I travel. Considerably my resolve and willingness to serve and empathize with others heightens as I come into contact with people of both similar and diverse cultures. Although my experiences thus far have provided me with a hint about what it means to be an educator, so many questions still remain unanswered. These unanswered questions instinctively lead me on a quest to find the explanations and uncover hidden treasures about my character and the children I seek to serve. Considering that a child’s tears secure my commitment, and a child’s smile delivers my reward — I stand unyieldingly committed to
The purpose of this report is to review and evaluate the principles underpinning the role of the practitioner when working with children.
As an early educator my professional goals and aspirations have change since I read the interview conducted by the author, Denise Scott. As I read this article, I been inspired to reach out to my community, families, students, and peers in order to become a better leader. To make a difference I desire to be a leader in my community. In my community, it is important to connect to students that are entering the childhood field, however to create an atmosphere that encourages mentoring and learning (Rodriguez, 2005). As early educator leaders, we have to promote students by being a positive role model, therefore this would allow them to see the character within us. To work with children, leaders should exhibit good qualities, passion, leadership abilities as well as understanding for others. We have to create an environment that leaders can thrive (Scott, p.1 2005). As educator, we should lead as well as follow to be an effective leader in the early childhood field, however this mean continuing growing. The prospective students need to be aware that this field has no ending. The field of childhood studies is always changing and we have to stay embrace for the future There are challenges and should know where your strengths are as well as your differences (Scott, 2005)
The reasons for applying to this post, was due to the rewarding nature of the job in assisting people from younger children to older adults. I am an enthusiastic indivudial who is confident in bringing about good work ethic and crucially participating in a successful team. I am adamant my flexibility and work ethic will meet the needs of the service in order to to operate in an administration role. I stronly believe in the stated values which were compassion , respect and empathy. Having completed an undergraduate module linked with professional practice and respect , I believe these values are essential and must be applied at all times under any given situation. This is why I believe the role suits to my strengths, in that under a challenging
In addition to working with incarcerated populations, working with children also presents a host of limitations and hurdles to overcome. Numerous safeguards are required when working with children, particularly because children may not be mature enough to give informed consent. The study will follow respective IRB protocols in working with children, including receiving informed consent from the child’s guardian, explaining the research to the child in an age-appropriate manner, and receiving consent from the child. Questions will be crafted in a way that minimizes trauma for the child, licensed social workers will be made available to the child and family throughout the study, and social workers will be consulted if it is believed that the study may need to be terminated due to trauma or harmful impacts to the mother/child relationships. Again, by using triangulation, information that may not be appropriate to receive directly from the child, information that the child cannot recall, or information that the child may be hesitant to disclose due to the fact that researchers and social workers are often mandated reporters will be triangulated from other interviews and observations.
I believe that each child is unique in their own way. Children grow and develop at their own pace, and come from families with different values and beliefs. It is our job as ECE’s to understand and respect that all children are different. I believe that children should be taught as we would want to be taught. As Barbara Coloroso believes, that students should not be treated in ways that teachers would not want to be treated because children have as much dignity as adults. For an example, when you are working with infants you should talk to infants as you would talk to any other person, instead of using “baby talk” or babbling back to them. As infants learn fast and understand more then you think. I believe that children deserve to be treated
Working with children or youth can be challenging because worker needs to put consideration of the developmental stage of the individual. Each child and/or young adults may be more vulnerable than others depending on their age, maturity and circumstances. There are many areas of concern when working with children or youth; such as substance abuse, bullying, body image, build relationships, changes in the family (parental separation) and much more.
The more noteworthy decision and control for guardians and youngsters over their support by recognising youngsters needs and including guardians and youngsters in basic decision making. The following are the ten principles that underpin most codes of practice when working with children:-
My entire life, I have always wanted to work with children especially when I would help my sister with her homework and I would make sure that it would be done. My personal experience has helped me become patient, kind, and understanding of how children act. I have a lot of experience working with children in all of jobs as in the amusement park industry to teaching every day. I have experience making my own SGO and with PARCC. I also have taught a lot of students with diversity and students that are ELL. I also have experience with ELL students, IEP students, and working with multiple teachers in the classroom. I also have experience working with students who have autism and I learned how to make them feel comfortable in the classroom. In
