Constructivist theory- children can create understanding only when they are engaged in interactions

In my SLP practice I will provide children the opportunity to learn from one another as I will never fully be able to understand what each child is going through like their peers might

Sociocultural theory- children develop based on their culture

In my SLP practice I will understand that each child is different and might have different backgrounds and ways of learning based on how they were raised through their cultures

Certain children might not be able to celebrate certain things because of their culture so a lesson plan has to account for that fact

Behaviorism theory- behavior is changed as a result of the consequences individuals experience immediately following their behavior

In my SLP practice I will attempt to teach my students that the mistakes they make can help them learn how to do it again next time

I will teach them that when they fall they should get back up and try again

The journey of learning about early childcare has shown me who I want to be as a person and as an educator. Working as a speech therapist won't be easy and it will require a lot of patience, but in the end it will be a very rewarding experience.
There are two different education styles utilized today that speak volumes to me and inspire my teachings to the young. These approaches are Project Approach and Reggio Emilia.
Project Approach:

Promotes communication

Importance placed on the engagement of children

Children have the opportunity to learn from one another

Projects and field trips are key

Reggio Emilia:

Children learn through their senses

Importance placed on respecting peers

Incorporates reflections and exploration of the natural world

I will give children the ability to express their beliefs and understand others different point of views. I want to make children believe how important their thoughts and ideas are. It's important to teach children that they are strong capable and resilient beings. Children are the next generation that can grow up to be great philosophers, the next president, or even those teaching the generation after them. Which is why me teaching them and letting them know how special each and every individual child is.

My work space will have a lot of bright colors and hands on activities to keep a child's interest while at the same time teaching them. I will have an open door policy so that if children are struggling with their speech or just having a hard time they can come talk to me. There will be a lot of items from the natural world so they can relate what they are seeing daily into their speech. I want the children to respect the differences between their peers and understand that every body is valuable. I will also document their progress so parents can see exactly how their child is excelling.

# data[].attributes.body
Hello my name is Brittney Lane and I have a few core values that go into how I regard children. I am inspired a lot by the Montesorri views of how we should think of how children grow and develop. I believe that people, especially adults who are in their day-to-day lives, are the influences of their later thoughts and attitudes. I want to give them a safe and open environment so they can feel included and apart of something. I want everyone, child and adult, to feel cared for, understood, and heard. I've always considered myself an "empath" because I feel everyone's emotions along with my own and have always had the strong urge to care for every person around me. I have always known the right way to treat others and I want to instill the same values in the children that I will have in my care. Being a speech therapist I will incorporate all of these views as the children I work with will be all be different and unique and should be treated with care and importance.
The following web page will explain in many ways how I was influenced by many of the great front runners for child care and how I aspire to encapsulate their views into my childcare job as a Speech Pathologist.

Parents are definitely encouraged to being involved as much as they can. This can include contributing to a weekly snack for the children. There may be a view at home practices parents can utilize with their children that can help their speech development excel faster. There may even be volunteer options available for parents to become more involved with their child's schooling.  I can also teach the parents certain speech practices that might give them a better understanding of what their children are learning. It is important for children to see their parents taking an active role in their teachings it makes them feel important and that mom and dad care.
