There were central themes explored that stood out to me such as religious, beliefs, economic status, sexual orientation and gender identity. All of these areas make up the 'whole' person. There is a clear link between the school environment and the child's living experiences in the home and ever-growing community. As educators, we need to implement practical ways showcasing culture, diversity and inclusion in our learning spaces. We should continue to have critical thinking, self-accountability and ongoing professional development training to further grow in our thinking, to widen our mindsets in our practices. ]]> 2022-04-15 03:25:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jerushazartiga/7vhzcc7s4nrmfgm0/wish/2144601635 How the Role of Outdoor Spaces helps support Observations with Young Children jerushazartiga https://padlet.com/jerushazartiga/7vhzcc7s4nrmfgm0/wish/2144606654 Creating our outdoor programs where children can freely play, connect, explore and learn. Utilizing the outdoor spaces acts as a third teacher where it promotes hands on learning. As educators, we also are allowing children to be the active learners and capable people they are in their natural environments. Foundations of How Does Learning Happen (2014) are role-modeled and are evident in these environments. Other examples that help a child's physical, emotional and cognitive development are as follows: risk taking, affecting children's behaviours and their overall learning in a positive way. We can continue to support their growth, safety and learning through outdoor play for children to thrive healthily and safely. ]]> 2022-04-15 03:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jerushazartiga/7vhzcc7s4nrmfgm0/wish/2144606654 The Role of Technology in Observations with Young Children jerushazartiga https://padlet.com/jerushazartiga/7vhzcc7s4nrmfgm0/wish/2144609698 The role of using an Ipad is by practically using this piece of technology to promote pedagogical documentation, children's creations, and other educational learning platforms to elevate a child's interest and learning. Generations of technology were thoroughly discussed in how advanced it has become for the younger generations. How one can interact, communicate, chat and foster relationships through the use of technology. Having the children be a part of what pictures are being taken and why can further enhance the experience itself to be multi-faceted. There are a variety of subjects that can implemented in the educator's program by using online resources to explore more avenues of developmental areas. ]]> 2022-04-15 03:37:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jerushazartiga/7vhzcc7s4nrmfgm0/wish/2144609698 The Role of the Educator in Observations with Young Children jerushazartiga https://padlet.com/jerushazartiga/7vhzcc7s4nrmfgm0/wish/2144612282 It is crucial to form relationships with children in their play, engaging with them and interacting alongside with them. Various resources, tools, and strategies can be used in the classroom environment to promote healthy, expected behaviours and learning. These areas are as follows: Pedagogical documentation, use of schemas, transitions, using 'play language' in how we 'play' alongside children, our environments, etc. The content touched based on how the educator can use their personal experiences to help them reflect on how they promote and role-model play-based learning and curriculum in their early learning environments. ]]> 2022-04-15 03:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jerushazartiga/7vhzcc7s4nrmfgm0/wish/2144612282 APA Format Source jerushazartiga https://padlet.com/jerushazartiga/7vhzcc7s4nrmfgm0/wish/2145194283 Ontario Ministry of Education.
