As I embark on a new journey into my Masters in ECE I find myself in a new course (Building Research Competency). The past two weeks have been to familiarize myself with research articles. My general early childhood research topic is on quality and excellence in child care settings. From this general topic we were asked to generate three related subtopics. I have now narrowed my subtopics and will focus on highly qualified teachers (as well as their impact on all students). I chose this topic because I feel that more needs to be done on educators parts to ensure high quality engaging instruction for all children. We have all had different experiences with educators (positive & negative). We have all had teachers who changed our lives and teachers who should be working in a different field. My goal is to research elite teachers and share their strategies to use as a guideline with all others. If we are to change the world one child at a time we should change our ways as well.
Great topic Melanie!
ReplyDeleteMelanie, I agree with you in how you stated your topic. We do need quality teachers who are in the field to make a difference in the lives of young children.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many areas of childhood that need to be addressed, however, we also need to address the responsibilities of parents.
ReplyDeleteI hope that teenagers and parents in general take the role of
being a nurturing parent seriously because it has a great impact on
their children in the long run.
