Ece Developmentally Appropriate Practice

Appropriate Practice When trying to come up with my program line philosophy, I quickly realized that one size fits all told teaching is non for me. I needed to combination many methods to make my style fit the many personalities and learning styles of my students. With all of the learning styles that students exhibit I do not see how a teacher could simply teach with one philosophy all of the time. If a teacher chooses to lecture all the time, how will the kinesthesia and visual learners, who make up the biggest dowery of the population, understand the material?Due to the low self-esteem of many of the children In todays society I swear that teachers need to be extremely cautious when cringingly a students work. If a student does a poor chew over on a paper or assignment I rely that the teacher should use curative and help the child try to improve their score rather than telling them how poorly they did. Likewise, I believe that if a student does well they should receive pra ise for what they accomplished. The use of a variety of teaching methods is overly crucial to the classroom.A lot of children become bored with the same routine day after day. In tramp to keep their attention and to keep them interested in the subject matter teachers need to use contrastive methods of teaching such as field trips, debates, and cooperative learning activities. Of the five major philosophies (Perennials, Essentialist, Progressivism, Existentialism and Reconstructions) I relate most to the Existentialism Philosophy. In my opinion this is the most important approach in teaching students in todays society.I believe that students understanding and appreciation of themselves takes precedence over any subject that can be taught in school. No matter how intellectual a student may prove to be, without assurance and vox populi in themselves they will not accomplish much in life. Every child is different and has erratic ways of learning and exceed in some subject atomic n umber 18as to a greater extent than others. A student skill not do well In mathematics but may be an excellent artist. This does not mean that they are not as Important as other students Just that they excel more In one area than In another.I feel that education Is not only based on the basics (math, science, reading, and writing), but built on them. To me, creative expression revolves around the basics hat are taught and also around the areas In life that are unseen, or thought. Creamery opens a persons mind, to not Just point on what has been taught to us, which Is Information stored In the left side of the brain, but also to utilize our own Ideas and humor to express ourselves, which utilizes the right side of the brain.By doing creative things that use the imagination, we strengthen both parts of the brain. As children we viands the creative part of the brain, all is growing at once, once formal education is introduced, that vision is change to the point that it becomes los t and often never recovered. A classroom that offers this type of guidance and the freedom to a pressure-tree environment that allows tort creativity is what I from my class. Sire Another very important factor in a balanced curriculum is conveying emotions because it is an essential form of communication. According to the text (TAP chapter 1 rowlock 20) children work at their own tempo, with their own learning style/ strategies and while learning, TAP engages both randy and intellectual stimuli. The nice thing about the whole process of learning with this philosophy is that there is no pressure to where it is uncomfortable or not enjoyable. Like I said, each student determines his/her own pace and direction of learning.Without pressure, I feel the students would want to come and learn and to be with fellow students who have general interests and want to learn together, plus get to do what they enjoy doing anyway. Children learn so much divulge when their affective filter is dow n. The role of the teacher is to expose the students to the materials and subjects that are available, make them aware of their surroundings, help each one individually through the process, and help them create in an open, free, and stimulating environment.
