Taking the time to get to know the classroom as a whole and see if certain activities work best at different times or maybe not as long.

Making sure we as providers know the the typical developmental stages and milestones so if we notice any considers with delays we can share this in an objective matter instead of judgement or assumptions. Having an outline or draft of what exactly is going to be said and it is helpful to practice and receive feedback from a co-teacher and director.

I don’t think screen time is appropriate during school child care, maybe children get enough screen time at home. Unless it is used for educational purposes and there is a time limit.

1. A multicultural education curriculum should be in place in every school. -Agree
2. Families should not be expected to be involved in classroom activities. -Agree but encouraged
3. All learning programs should accommodate all children with special needs.- Agree
4. Some extended family members may confuse children, so they should not have a voice in raising or educating the child.-Disagree
5. My curriculum should be based on each individual child’s current interests.-Disagree
6. Diversity definitely includes race and culture, but doesn’t include age, ability or family make-up.-Disagree
7. Media in general delivers fair and accurate accounts of events around the country.-Disagree
8. The United States should discontinue relations with countries that engage in human rights violations.- Disagree

I think its important to take into consideration everyone’s perspective, and even if one disagrees it matters to try to understand.

Hello!

I discovered the extreme importance of understanding why laws and regulations are placed. Simply knowing and following the directors leads on the requirements that are needed is one mindset but truly taking the time to understand why these laws are put into place opens a whole different mindset. This requires more time to comprehend the reading of WAC. I was surprised how overwhelming it was to comprehend the reading. I also was surprised with the amount of documentation that is needed for every child and the requirements that must be met to run a center. I am glad that this training is put into place because I now have a better understanding of the regulations and it is now embedded in my mind when I am working with infants and setting up my future classroom.
