Evaluating Impacts on Professional Practice

Evaluating Impacts on Professional Practice


     As an Early childhood Professional I had some experience of having child of different countries in my class. Learning about different cultures helps me in understand in a better way each child. I think being a teacher is more than teach just A,B,C is giving your time in think and feel what children are feeling, is important to have good communication with them to foster good relationships. Is being a support for their needs, and also teach respect and values that we need to have with others. ”According to Cushner and Brennan (2007), cultural competence is required to be an effective educator.  "Teachers who are culturally competent," they argue, "understand cultural traditions that extend beyond the borders of the United States, can communicate across cultural, and have the expertise prepare learners for living and working in the global community" (p. 10). - See more at: http://www.globalteachereducation.org/global-competence#sthash.d6ZOUAUZ.Udq7BGf0.dpuf

Respecting, Respond and Relationships, is how we need to work every day in our work with children, respect to them, responding is having a good communication with their needs, and finally build relationships to help them in their good development.
     Is time to take equal pride in breaking all the barriers, sexist is a thing of the past; women are actually now advantage in our society. Children need to know that women’s could be doctors, that man could help in house work, like cooking.
     Children begin to have their identity when they have 3 years, at this time they learn and absorbs everything like sponges, so negative stereotypes can impede cognitive performance in adults. So is important to be a good role model and always help and give to the children better way to understand that gender is not about what you dress, we need to have a good manner for guide children. Educators need to give children ways to develop anti bias attitude, learn to think critically and speak up if they know something is unfair.
     If I am imagine that I’m an early childhood professional who I’m experiencing one or more of the "-isms" in my personal life, I think for me a person that grows in an environment of love an good care where my parents and teachers gave to me, the necessary tools that I need to grow and succeed later in life. I think it will be more easy for me because I know how to solve problems and I know and learn about bias. I’m a person who speaks up, and I treat people the same as I want to be treated, not be prejudiced, not hurting others, understand their feelings, and respect to them.”The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives “Anthony Robbins.
