ECH 301 UP Foundations of Early Childhood Education Reflection Paper

Description

Many children spend a large portion of their day in early childhood settings. Because of this, early childhood settings should be positive learning environments where children can explore a variety of learning materials in a number of settings (e.g., small group, large group, inside, outside).

Imagine that as a final task in orienting the new teacher graduates, you are asked to conduct a teacher observation activity and share your findings with them. These observations will help them evaluate classroom dynamics in conjunction with their evolving personal educational philosophy.

Select an early childhood setting, such as a childcare center, a preschool, or a K–3 classroom, and schedule time to observe a teacher there.

Consider the following when arranging your classroom observation site:

The school’s policies on observations (if any)
The school and age/grade level you’d like to observe (This typically aligns with what grade you wish to teach.)
The method of contacting the teacher (e.g., phone call, visit, email)
The best time of day for teachers and students to factor into scheduling observation time

Conduct the observation using the Classroom Observation Chart.

Write a reflection in which you:

Summarize each area of observation.
Justify whether or not the classroom schedule and learning experiences observed were developmentally appropriate.
Explain whether this conformed to your personal philosophy of early childhood education.
Explain the use of self-reflection by teachers and how it improves teaching and learning.
Describe what you learned from this field experience and how you will apply it to your future role as a teacher
