I’ve learned about child development and various teaching methods, which have strengthened my passion for becoming an educator.

In addition, I actively participated in group activities. The exchange of ideas with my peers has helped me improve my teamwork and problem-solving skills. Although I faced some challenges along the way, I approached them with a positive attitude and worked hard to find solutions, which has been a great learning experience.

Overall, my biggest achievement this semester is the growth I’ve experienced, especially in the field of early childhood education. I’m proud of the progress I’ve made.

Hello everyone!

During my early childhood education studies, I’ve discovered that I’m a highly empathetic and patient person. These qualities are essential when working with young children, as they help me understand and respond to their needs more effectively.

I’ve also realized that I thrive in collaborative environments. Through group activities and discussions, I’ve learned how to communicate my ideas clearly while also listening and valuing others' perspectives. This has helped me build stronger teamwork skills, which will be invaluable during my field experiences.

Finally, I’ve found that I’m adaptable and open to learning from challenges. This mindset will allow me to grow as an educator and contribute positively when working with others.

Thank you!

Hello everyone!

With technology becoming an essential part of education, I plan to embrace digital tools to enhance my field placement experience. For example, I can use a secure digital portfolio platform like Seesaw to share updates, photos, and learning milestones with families. This keeps parents informed about their child’s progress and helps them feel more connected to the classroom.

To ensure children’s privacy, I’ll use tools that comply with privacy regulations and avoid sharing personal information unnecessarily. For instance, I would anonymize data or limit access to authorized individuals only. I’ll also make sure to get consent from families before using any digital platforms.

By staying updated on technology and prioritizing privacy, I can create a safe and engaging learning environment while building stronger partnerships with families.

Thank you!

This is a task completed by Intro. to Early Childhood Educ (SEC.201) -ECEP104201_2024F, in which we understand the relationship between families, educators and children through drawing. Not only that, but also let me know the power of painting and color.

In my spare time, I went to visit Niagara Falls. The magnificent moment of the falls reduced a lot of the pressure I was facing at that time, and also gave me a lot of inspiration for my subsequent study. From this, I learned that I can draw energy and comfort from nature.

In this group activity, I learned a lot of communication skills, which also made me more calm and less nervous when completing the group homework in the future, which I think is a great help for me.

At the start of the semester, I faced challenges adjusting to working with my group members. Our lack of clear communication and understanding of each other’s roles led to a significant mistake during a key project. This experience taught me the importance of establishing clear expectations, open communication, and trust within a team from the very beginning.

Moving forward, I plan to prioritize building strong connections with my teammates early on and ensuring we all share the same goals and responsibilities. While this mistake was difficult, it provided a valuable lesson that will help me collaborate more effectively in the future.
