The two people I choose to admire in the early childhood education field was Loris Malaguzzi, and Patty Hill. Loris Malaguzzi was the founder of the Reggio Emila Approach. I can related to Loris Malaguzzi because he found a group of women building a school out of the ruins of World War II. He seen the heart and dedications of these women and began to help them as well. His approach, and style of learning really revolutionized the twentieth century. This really motivated me to work myself to the fullest, honoring education and the freedom to become educated. Learning about Malaguzzi helps me advance as an educator so that I may become just as successful.

Patty Smith Hill was a trend setter who took early childhood education by storm with her musical talents and abilities. She will always be remembered and never forgotten, for coming up with Happy Birthdays beautiful sounding music. I can related to her music ability because I am musically inclined. I am very honored to hear that another educator was able to utilize her talents in the form of educating a child.

post three ideals contained in the NAEYC and DEC codes of ethics that are meaningful to you, and explain their significance to your professional life.
ReplyDeleteTo post three ideals contained in the NAEYC and DEC was very difficult for me. I would have rather posted all of them because all of them meant a great deal to me. I think the number one rule here is Respect. Everyone deserves resepct especailly every child. With respect comes much appreaciation. Appreaciation fo the child, who they are, there individaulity, and there ethinciy. Ethnicity is very important because that goes along with serving as advocates for children and there families. Not just children with disabliites however all children. Integrity is one of the most highest qaulities a person can value and establish in their work ethic. Espcially while working with Children. I really think I will take to heart serving as an advocate for children with disablities and all children. Chidlren really need people to advocate for them. However I think the most important way to advocate is to educate. Knowledge is power and power helps engulf change. Change brings forth a revolution that changes things.
