Early Childhood Education Observation

368 Words2 Pages

I chose to do my observation at George Washington Carver in Newark, New Jersey. I observed a Kindergarten class with sixteen to eighteen students. I spit my observation into two, two hour sessions. When I entered the classroom, I immediately noticed two things the classroom’s layout and the Teacher’s positive attitude. The room was set up for easy transitioning to each learning center. The students’ desk and chairs were placed in the middle of the room. This made it easy for the teacher to see each student no matter where they sat. The Teacher’s desk was in front of the classroom. The class had a computer station, Smartboard and a small Library. The walls were filled with visuals for Reading, Writing, Math, Science and much more. The rules

    A good teacher does their best to make the classroom itself an inviting atmosphere, as inviting as you can make a classroom that is. The posters and pictures on the walls, the table and chair arrangement as well as the teachers desk are all items that are intentionally chosen and thoughtfully organized to make the environment as inviting as possible. Atwell says “when students enter my classroom in September I want the environment to make their brains itch” in other words she wants it to build a positive atmosphere that stimulates and promotes their creativity (Atwell, 35). She also mentions watching another teacher Mary Beth Owens, set up her room and noticed that her “arrangements were intentional and deliberate” which is something that she refers back to often when it relates to her own classroom (Atwell, 35). In this example, Mr. Avery does not think that the classroom design and layout have any bearing on learning and have no negative psychological effects on students, because it never seems to bother him.

    Fuller and Strath (2001) conducted a quantitative research study that examined local populations of early education organizations based on the 1990 household census data to report features of the early childhood workforce nationwide. Multiple economic and regulatory forces shaped the population of early education organizations that operated within states and local communities. The median center-based teacher was 34 years of age, reported having completed some college, and was married. The median family childcare home provider had a high school diploma. Fifteen percent of all preschool teachers in urban areas were African American and 8% were Latina.

To make sure this new technology is used effectively, we must confirm that teachers are fully trained and supported. In this paper, theoretical perspectives of child development are discussed with the basic elements of learning program.

    Being a pre-service training educator, specific goals and objectives should be set to achieve educator’s own educational philosophy. The Educational philosophy is an individual statement of educators’ guiding principles about the education-related issues, which helps to guide when drawing up curricula and structuring classroom discussions for children. Every educator should have their unique set of principles and ideas to affect students’ performance. I strongly believe that early childhood education is to help children to achieve whole person development which including cognitive, physical, mental and social aspects. Children’s programs should be based on children’s needs and interests as they are going to grow, develop and mature in educators’
