I chose this quote because education is the foundation on which everything else is built.  Early childhood education is vital to the overall growth and development of each child’s love for learning.  Once a love for learning has been instilled in a child, the sky is the limit!

The Global Perspectives on Development and Learning class has taught me that there are numerous connections in regards to education all around the world.  We need to work together to enhance the lives of children around the world.  We must start in our own community and expand our thinking to develop our global society.

 

 

 

 

The recent developments in brain research has positively impacted the field of early childhood education.  These developments have improved the research surrounding the early development of young learners, which allows for new and innovative techniques when working with all age groups.  We are now able to understand the many influences that surround the growth of early childhood learners to better assistant children during these vital stages.

Blogs:

There are many educational blogs that help support the teacher as an educator, in the classroom, and in various other aspects of the field.  As a teacher, I have rarely looked into this particular resource to enhance my educational background.  After working through this course, I have discovered the benefits of reading these blogs and the pride that follows creating one of your own.  We are essentially a team that should share ideas and experiences to benefit one another in a positive way.  I plan to continue to explore these blogs to develop my educational knowledge base and to make connections that will benefit not only me but my students.  I have provided the link of a blog that I enjoyed reading while attending this current class.
