Quotes from Susan
Bredekamp, Ph. D
“Although
reading and writing abilities continue to develop throughout the life span, the
early childhood years—form birth through age eight—are the most important
period for literacy development.”
“Educators have always considered
play to be a staple in early childhood classrooms.”
“I had just a built-in passion
that it was important to make a real contribution in the world and to fix all
the injustices that existed in the world”
“I think my passion comes from wanting to make a difference”
“When I think of the word passion
and the meaning to the word “passion” what comes to mind are what are my value,
what are my beliefs, what are the ideas that lead me to action”
Quote
from Sandy Escobido- deputy field Director
“We as professionals in the early
childhood field have an opportunity to shape a child’s life for the better, and
so that’s what makes me passionate about this field”
“It’s not all about you, you have
to take your ego out of it and think about what’s best for this child”

ReplyDeleteThe quote from Elena Bodrova makes me think back to when I was an undergraduate. My friends and I had to take a course that centered around the importance of children playing and being engaged in activities. I used to think that playing wasn't the same as working. Boy, was I wrong! I hadn't realized how much playing we do in my classroom! My students are playing, but working on different skills while they're having fun! Play is essential in having students understand what they're learning.
I would have to agree with Stacy. Children learn so much from playing and interacting with other children, teachers, and their environment.
ReplyDeletethis quote “The passion to make sure that all children were taught in environments and in ways that truly nurtured their ability to grow and develop to their fullest ability” by Louise is one of my favorite because in the multimedia video she truly shows her passion and desire to teach children and nurture them.. it almost reminds me of grandmothers because she is so loving and caring to children.
