Competency Goal 6
My competency goal is to maintain a commitment to professionalism, I will promote child development, learning and build family and community relationships. I will continue to attend professional development sessions and read articles about early childhood. I am a continuous, collaborative learner who demonstrates knowledge in my field from all type of resources.
I will introduce daily opportunities for the children within the classroom to explore their
surrounding world through play, examination, arts and science activities and much more. The children will be encouraged to explore each center within the classroom. These centers will be set up based upon the team of the week. There will be an art center, a library, a block area, a home living center and a science sensory center within the classroom. At times some of these centers may be changed according to the team plan for the week. A lesson plan will be posted for parents to view each week. At the end of the day or two there will be an event note posted on the door to let each parent view what we did during the day. There will be an incorporated monthly calendar which each parent may take home to give them an idea of the team that we will be doing each week, any important dates that are coming up, and any reminders that may be needed. I will create and maintain safe and healthy settings that foster children’s social, emotional, cognitive and physical development and that respect their dignity and their contributions. To also keep children healthy, I will maintain environment that promote wellness and help them to learn the importance of starting each day with a balanced meal.
