Mod.1 Blog: Course Goals 7854
The three goals I feel would assist mein becoming more effective as a professional in the early childhood filed are:
1). Learning how to create a new way of thinking and meeting the needs of all young children, since I know that the early childhood field needs to constanly change and adjust to the ever growing needs of young children and their education. I must know how each child can grow, develop and become responsible , productive citizens at each individual's time.
2). I want to learn what policies and procedures should be in place and how they should be used that will properly benefit not only my work in the early childcare field, but young children and their families now and for future generations. I have learned over the years that the "More I know, the more parents know."
3). I would like to get more parents invovled and participating in their child's education, as we know parents are their child's first teacher and they must be familiar with what their individual child needs and work collectivley with others in the field. I also would like for parents and caregivers to be familiar with benchmarks and how benchmarks can hel their child become successful.

MOD 8 FINAL BLOG
My overall experience from this course was, "So amazing", just when I thought I had read or heard it all about young children, my colleagues provide more resources or information that is vitual to the early childhood field. It is such a good feeling when oyu meet other individuals that have the same mind-set or goals that another individual has and how if we all work together, can get alot done.
The course material that I liked the most was the resources that was provided for each module, especially the textbook, "Understanding families, supportive approaches to diversity, disability and risk." I will use this book as a reference within my classroom. I can also use the articles that were provided throughout this course as references.
I have always been one to eagerly learn about others around me and to use the information to help someone else. We can also learn from young children and their families, if we just open our eyes and hearts to what they have to say. We must put our feelings to the side and take into consideration from those around us.
Learning about how others in the early childhood field is the most applicable to me as an early childhood professional and the reason I feel this way is due to, "We learn something new everyday, if we just take the time to listen and use the information that is provided to us."
I would like to wish everyone the best of luck throughout their adventures in the early childhood field, "Let's continue to make a difference in the lives of young children and their families."

MOD 6 Blog Assignment
At this point my interviews are goin well, I have met with one of the interviewees and the process as been a great learning experience and I look forward to the next interview. I have had the opportunity to observe a resource teacher in action with a small group of students who are very eager to learn and who gives feedback when asked.
I am truly surprised at how the professional was able to maintain the students focus and proceed with her planned lesson. The students were engaged and all of the four students participated and stayed focus on her and were not worried or concerned about me being in the room.
The only challenge that I have is that I did not want to be a disruption to the class, so all I did was sit in one area of the room so that I didn't draw any attention to myself throughout my time in the classroom.
My Course Project (Major Assessment) is coming along well, I have everything I need and I have began the writing process. I am so glad that I chose this topic and the two individual professionals that I am and will interview. I have always heard about Special Education, but now I have a complete understanding of the process.
How can professionals in the early childhood field, make sure that young chidlren receive the support and/or resources that are needed to help them become successful?
