• According to Estes and Krogh (2012), A
  cornerstone of quality teaching is having a firm
  understanding of child growth and development (p.
  63). Without a solid understanding of the
  physical, cognitive, and affective domains of
  development, it will be difficult for you to help
  children grow to reach their potential.
• For this discussion, you will start by choosing
  one of the images shared in the Developmental
  Domain Images flipbook. Please title your
  discussion Image _____ ________ Developmental

  Day 7. Becoming a professional in the field of
  early childhood education requires you to become
  familiar with the various developmental theories,
  as well as research that studies the
  effectiveness of various learning approaches.
  Throughout the last two weeks, you have learned
  about these different theories and approaches to
  learning. After engaging in discussions with your
  classmates, you now have ideas about which
  theories and approaches you would like to use in
  your work with children. Using the steps below,
  you will sort through these theories and
  approaches to shape who you are as a teacher and
  what you believe about how children learn best.
  This assignment will also help you prepare for
  your final assignment.

• Chapter 6 explains the National Standards for
  Family-school partnerships, as presented by the
  National PTA. Although these standards are
  written for school-aged children, they are more
  than applicable to the early childhood classroom,
  as presented in your text. Review the suggestions
  for each of the six standards as well as NAEYCs
  Family Engagement Resource List.
• Using your assigned grouping below, explain the
  two standards and offer at least three
  suggestions to incorporate these standards in
  your preschool program. Then, explain why these
  standards should be the basis for all early
  childhood programs, and how it they will benefit
  your students and their families.

• As the authors of our text note
• Since its founding in 1926, the National
  Association for the Education of Young Children
  (NAEYC) has been an influence on early education
  in the United States, but never so strongly as it
  has been since it began writing position
  statements in the 1980s. (Estes Krogh, 2012, p.
  98)
• One of the position statements that NAEYC created
  focuses on developmentally appropriate practice
  (DAP). Understanding what DAP is and how it will
  influence your work with children is critical to
  being a quality early childhood

• One of the hottest topics in early childhood
  education is the role of play in the classroom.
  Although early childhood educators understand the
  importance of incorporating play into a
  developmentally appropriate curriculum, many
  parents have a difficult time understanding why
  their child is playing in the classroom. Watch
  the video, titled The Role of Play in the
  Overly-Academic Classroom.

• Wadlington and Wadlington (as cited in Estes
  Krogh, 2012) explain, Because of the strong
  connection between dispositions and teaching
  styles, it is desirable for individuals in the
  midst of becoming teachers to reflect and develop
  self-awareness of their own dispositions (p. 33).
  Subsequently, knowing which career you want to
  pursue is an important first step to tackling
  your job search and career goals. Exploring the
  requirements for your potential career path,
  assessing your current skill set, and identifying
  what action steps you can take to make your
  career goals more attainable is the purpose for
  this discussion.

• As your text states, the early childhood field
  takes very seriously the need to adhere to
  ethical behavior (Estes Krogh, 2012, pg. 285).
  For this reason, the NAEYC has provided
  guidelines to assist early childhood educators
  with the decisions made on a daily basis that
  have both moral and ethical implications.
• To prepare for this discussion, view NAEYCs Code
  of Ethical Conduct and reread the NAEYCs Core
  Values outlined in Chapter 10 of your text.
