I
never realized what a web like community there is in the field of early
childhood education. There seems to be a lot of resources for our field that I
never knew about. I am new to the field, so it's not a surprise that this all
seems very new and surprising to me. Some of the things that I read about like
the "Old Firehouse School" seemed very interesting. Their intentions
sounded a lot like those of Haleakala Waldorf School who states, "Upholding the ideal of the class teacher staying with the
class from first through eighth grade. This allows for a deeply founded
relationship between the teacher, students and parents." What an
experience and bond these teachers much have by the end of their time with the
children and their families.
I'm happy that we were given this last part of the text as the
focus of our post because I feel like it would have otherwise taken me years
and years to come to realize how many resources there are out there for the
children, professionals, and others involved or relating to the field of
early childhood education. In what ways can others in the field find resources like these? Are they advertised anywhere? Can teachers seek out these resources personally for their program needs or do they require directors or higher management to be involved?
MAHALO everyone for being a part of my learning in this class! Your responses really helped further my thoughts and widen my lens in many ways!
