Week 8 Blog Assignment: When I Think of Research

The insights I have gained from learning about research is to analyze the different types of research and what do they mean. I did not realize that there was different types of research. My ideas about the nature of doing research has change is when you start off doing the research you have to have a topic and than from there you have to do the subtopic and  brainstorm the main points to form an outline. The
planning, designing and conducting the research in early childhood did I learn is respecting the justice and fairness in everyone regardless of their age, gender, and culture. I also learn to have a consent form in place of doing my research and keeping my personal bias to myself and do not let interfere with my research.  The challenges I have encountered was analyzing between the quantitative designs and the  qualitative designs. The ways did I meet them is doing the assignment and reading the different materials in the textbook to give me a better understanding of what they mean and examples of how to use them in a research. My perceptions has been modified as a result of this course is to analyze more better of my topic of doing my research, learning who is going to be in my research, learning about the independent and dependent variable. It made me think in deep thoughts and was very challenging.

I just want to say I really enjoyed everyone from these past eight weeks. To my colleagues and Dr. Todd I felt like I learned a lot from your comments and post on blackboard and the blogs from this course. I do not like to say good bye, I will say to all of you I will see you later, and I wish everyone much success and Happy Holidays to everyone!!!!

Blog Assignment: Research Around the World

The current international topic is supporting the best practice for the code of ethics in early childhood education Australia. The best practice they support are emotional foundations of learning, building trust and self esteem, communication,  the developing of the brain and everyday and learning play. The insight I gain of exploring with the international early childhood website is the Early Childhood Australia is the voice for young children since 1937 and they have been celebrating 75 years and they organization is the interests of young children, their families and those in early childhood field. The other information I found out about this website is that it supports research in practice series. The Research in Practice Series provides practical, easy-to-read resources for those involved in the early child field. They also have books to assists with those challenging issues which talks about the care and
education of young children, by offering effective new approaches.

Research that Benefits Children and Families -Uplifting Stories Week 3

The positive research that I did with children and families is the Early Head Starts program.
The Early Head Starts programs helps children and families from birth to three years old.
In the research it helps a child with their assessments with their cognitive, physical, social-emotional,
and language development. The parent assessments help parents to get involve with the child's development, parent meeting, and parent council meetings. It also helps the teachers with the observation and documentation of the child's development. The Early Head Start program focus on the School Readiness Goals. The school readiness goals focus on approaches of learning, cognitive, language and literacy, social/emotional, and physical. The research helps the children and families with their studies.
Being a teacher in the Early Head start program has help understand the children and families culture,
 traditions,and bond with the children and families. In my story one of parents had bug bites in her apartment and she had to move out her from her old apartment to her new one. She had to throw a lot of her belongings away. She was a single parent with two girls and she really do not have any family in North Carolina. So I told her if she need me on that Saturday I would help her move. She was like I don't have any money to give you, I was like I am not charging you anything I am doing this from my heart. Eventually I help her moved and this parent seen another side of me she had never seen. So I brought over some cleaning supplies help her clean her new apartment and she was good to go. A year later her daughter left the program and she would keep in contact with me to let me know how her child was doing at  school and everything. So one day she call me up and was like what are you doing this afternoon you and your daughter, and my response was like nothing we just chilling out. She was I want to take you out the eat and I was like you don't have to do that and she was like yes I do, remember the time you came and help me move and I was like yes. Well I want to take you out so I agree but she was like I still do not have transportation and I was like I will come to get you. I tell this story because as a teacher you never know what lives you touch when it comes to families.

Blog Assignment: Your Personal Research Journey

The topic I chose was Parent Involvement. I chose parent involvement because as a teacher it is
very essential to a child's development. Parent Involvement helps a child with their social/emotional,
cognitive, language, and physical skills. Parent involvement also helps to learn about different cultures in the classroom. For example I had  a parent from China and we dress up in the clothing of China and she brought food that she cook and we experiment of eating with chop sticks. We also sit down on the floor like Chinese and the children love it. We was listening to Chinese music and opening our fortune cookies.
The research chart gives me an insight of learning of different was of doing my research. It helps me to brainstorm the information and look ask questions like "how, when, where", is the topic is essential to my research, It also helps me to read more and look at different resources of my research.

Week 8 Final Blog Assignment

The three consequences of learning about the early childhood and my professional and professional development is global learning with other teachers around the world, networking, and learning for teachers of how they teach and educated teachers around the world. It gave me insights of learning from different countries of how they do things with their education and testing standards and how they do their curriculum . The one goal for the international awareness of issues and trends is being a teacher along with my colleagues and educators to advocate for children and families around the world. This is how you become active in your community and global around the world. This also helps teachers and educators with their professional development. I feel like I have learn a lot from my colleagues of how they made international contact with other people around the world and it just fascinating how we made connections with people about the early childhood. I just like to say I enjoyed all my colleagues and I have learn from each and I do not like to say goodbye I like to say see you later and wish everyone much success in the early childhood education.

Week 7 Blog Assignment: Getting to Know International Contacts 3

The three insights I have gained from the UNESCO's Early Childhood Care and Education is
this website helps to support early childhood policy development to build a solid foundation for a
child's lifelong learning. The second insights I have gained is learning of the high quality childcare.
In high quality childcare is for children from disadvantaged backgrounds, promotes motivation,
confidence, good cognitive and linguistic development and school readiness. School readiness promotes physical, cognitive, social/emotional,  literacy and language, and approaches of learning.
The third insights I have gained is the curriculum in early childhood care and education. The curriculum
helps the program standards for parents to understand child/staff ratios, educator qualification, and indoor and outdoor learning environments. Children learn best within positive relationships-with
their parents and families, with their peers and with well-trained early childhood educators. These are the insights I have gained from the UNESCO's Early Childhood Care and Education. The website is

Week 6 Blog Assignment Sharing Web Resources

The outside link I have not explore is the Global Alliance for the Education of Young Children. The
Global Alliance is for the Education of Young Children that have organizations outside that share the NAEYC's commitment to children and excellence in education. The Global Alliance for the Education of Young Children provides an opportunity for early childhood associations from countries throughout
the world to share information about programs and services, so that members of the participating
organizations will have access to a greater range of early childhood resources.
This website contain information of early care education by providing a making a difference in
children lives and families. In the Global Alliance of Education for the young children become a member helps support high quality early care and education programs that lay the foundation for
school readiness, academic success, and adult achievement. Together we can network with a diverse
community around the world.

Sharing Web Resources Week 4

Sharing the resource of the Early/Head Start programs has help me professional of learning different children and families around the world. It also helps you network with people in the early childhood education.The e-newsletter helps you to be involved with the parents, teachers, children, and educators in the community around the world. It helps you to participate in events like parent meeting, and policy council meeting and legislative so we can network together as one community and one big happy family. The e-newsletter helps with the economists, neuroscientist, and politicians to network with the resources that are partnerships with the Early/Head State programs .This helps support the mission, the children, and teachers in the Early/Head Start program and the early childhood education.We can not do it alone we all have to network together to make it better for the children, the families and the community.
I learn from this newsletter  to network together as a community. You learn the educational, health,
economic, and law benefits of the Early/Head Start programs of helping children with families in the community around the world and how do they do things.This is a good resource for the community to learn thorough out the world. The website name is http://www.nhsa.org//

Getting to Know Your International Contacts-Part 1

In the Childhood Poverty Research and Policy Centre the poverty in the country in Mexico had a lot
of issues. The three insights I gained from this website is how poverty effects low income families when the woman are pregnant, food,and the climate change of the weather. If the women do not get the medical attention that is needed they have a high risk of still-births. In the country of Mexico with the poverty issues they have a lot of still-births when women become pregnant because they can not get the help they need and they do not have the resources like we do. The climate change of a temperature and the rainfalls have a lot to do with the crops growing for them to sell to make the money and it can affect people that have jobs and not able to work due to work.A household in Mexico  is considered to be capacity poor if its members cannot afford to cover their basic expenses on food, health and education, according to an officially defined basket. Finally, a household is considered to be in asset poverty if its members cannot cover their expenses of food, health, education, dressing, home and public transportation. This is the insights I gained from the poverty issues.

Sharing Web Resources

The newsletter that I subscribe was the National Head Start program. Even though I am

 a teacher in the Early Head Start program I wanted to know what is going on with the National

Head Start Programs around the world. Basically the programs are the same but they just

deal with different age groups. My concerns are the budget cuts that is happening

around the different states. In Durham, North Carolina which I am from we had a 120

slots available for children in the Early Head Start program. Ten percent of them children

they have to take is children with special needs. They took away 20 slots which was home based

programs. That was a disappointment to our teachers, parents, and the community.

            The newsletter caught my attention by how major the cuts are affected children, teachers

and families all around the world. The organization focus how can we prevent these budget cuts

and we can make it better for our families that are living in poverty. Congress believes that the

budget cuts are harmless and can be ignored. As teachers, educators, parents, legislative,

and the community we have to show congress how painful these cuts are in our own community.

My Supports

My support system is my daughter, brothers, father, godparents, and colleagues at

the job, church, friends  and the professor. My daughter is only thirteen years old and by me

being a single parent she see what I go through as getting my college education. I make sure that

her needs are meet and sometimes she wake up in the middle of the night and she be like “mom

you still up doing your homework and I be like yes” so sometimes she be like mom “I am so

proud of  you”. She is my motivation of keeping me doing the best that I can do. My brothers,

father, and godparents have been a big inspiration since my mother’s death. My plans was not

get a master’s degree but when I receive my Bachelor’s degree my brothers was like you know

what is next. I was like what’s next I am chilling no more degrees and they was like you need to

go for your master degree.  They gave me the motivation to get my master’s degree.

            My professors, colleagues at the job, friends and the motivates to continue to

get my education and do the best I can. I look up to the professor of Ilene Britt because she was

my advisor at Durham Technical Community college when I was getting my associate’s degree

in early childhood. She seen the determination that I had and I was eager student and love being

a teacher in the early childhood education. I still talk to her about advice and career moves that I

want to make and she be like you can do it. Since my mother’s death my friends has step in of

picking up my daughter when she has cheerleading practice while I am still at work or when she

has tutoring at school. My mother use to do these things for me so I will appreciate my friends

of helping me out when it comes to my daughter. If these people were not in my life I do not

know how I will make it. I appreciate how they are there for me in my darkest days of losing my

mother, the phone calls, a shoulder to cry on, but I also lean on GOD to give me the strength to

make it through. My colleagues on the job look up to me at work when they want to further they

education in early childhood of getting their associate and bachelors degree. They ask me

how did I start out with classes and how do I do it of taking care of my daughter and working

a full-time job and tell them if I can do you can do it to. I told them it takes determination and

self displine.

            The challenge for me is being a single parent, working a full time job, and going to

 college. It gets challenge for me when my daughter goes back to school, working full time,

my daughter doing extra curriculum activities such as cheerleading and dancing. Sometimes I do

not know if I am coming and going but that is when my support system gives me a helping hand

and helps me out. My support system keeps me positive and they are so encouraging and

supportive of anything I do. The most important thing is they tell me they love me a lot and that

 means more to me than anything. It is the littlest thing a person can do to be so supportive and

encouraging.

My parents and family experiment with play by letting me go outside do activities like kickball, jump rope hop scotch, and skating. Skating was my life and my mother brought me my first pair of skates. They were white skates with red wheels. I was so excited. This helps me with my physical and cognitive skills. My play was explored more outdoors with nature and play with my childhood or classmates at school.

I feel like that play is different from the time I use to play because technology has taken over. Children have computer, Ipads, video games, cell phones, so they don’t ha I do not see the children outside playing until the street light come on. When we play as kids we play hard that we did not have a choice but to take a bath because we were sweaty and you play hard all day.

My play as a child was a wonderful experience. I was able to experiment with nature of making playing with dirt making mud pies, and I would skate all day in the street down hills with no knee pads or helmet back than because we did not need them. I love to skate but I will skate after my homework was done and chores were finish and I would skate until the street light came on. Play has helped to understand a child’s development by using their cognitive, language, social/emotional development.

A Special Thanks

 I just like to thank my colleagues and Dr. Kien  for their support and the comments in the discussion board and the blogs.body I really like how Dr, Kien gave some much feedback on everybody post and the resources and how she explain in detailed  of the materials of child development.I feel like that everyone gain a knowledge of learning from each other and I want to wish everyone much success.

Week 6 Testing for Intelligence

Assesments

            When children take a assessments it put a stress with the teachers, parents, and the

children. Assessment can be challenging for children. Assessment can be challenge for

young children that takes time to administer assessments probably. Assessments primarily should

be administered in a one-on-one setting to each child by his or her teacher. In addition, a child’s

attention span is often very short and the assessment should therefore be administered in short

segments over a period of a few days or even weeks. There are differing opinions about the value

of using standardized tests to assess the abilities and knowledge of young children. Research

with young children standardized tests for student grade placement of school retention can to

be harmful to children’s ultimate achievements.

            High quality assessment results can help shape school policy, lead to improvements in

teacher performance, and determine factors that may affect learning such as health care, child

care, and preschool services. To assure children receive needed services, direct measures are

needed to track children’s early learning.

            In South Korea children assessment is a system of diagnostic assessments called the

National Assessment of Educational Achievement. Each year, achievement tests in two

subjects are administered to all students in each of the grade six, nine, and ten. These

tests serve a purely informational purpose and are not reported by individual student. Students

are also regularly assessed by their teachers at all levels, and they receive “Student School

Records” or “Student Activity Records” which provide detailed information about their

academic performance. These records include information on academic achievement by subject,

attendance, extra-curricular and service involvement, special accomplishment, conduct and

moral development, physical development, details of awards and anecdotal performance

descriptions. These records are increasingly used as measures of student performance for

admission at both senior secondary and university level, in order to alleviate the examination-

based pressure felt by many South Korean students. These are the assessments that are done in

South Korean.

Week 4 Consequences of Stress on Children's Development/Poverty

Poverty

            As a little girl I remember that my parents welcome this couple into our home because

they were having a hard time with financial problems. My mom was a manager at Byrd’s

grocery store and it was a her co-worker. The co-worker had just started working because she

Just had a baby and her husband were paying all the bills while she was on maternity leave.Well

her husband could not afford to pay all the bills so they water and lights was turn off and they

 was hungry. My mother knew he co-workers very well and she could tell that was

something was wrong with her because she was not herself and looks very stress. Eventually she

told my mom what was going on and my mother called my dad to talk over the situation to see if

her co-worker could come and stay with us. They stayed with us for three days until they got

their lights and water on. This family was a Caucasian family and we are an African-America

 family so my mother reached out to help this family and their baby. While staying with us

for three days they took showers, and ate dinner around the table with us. I remember when my

mom put me to bed and I ask her “mom why are they staying with us” and my mother respond

“they are staying with us because they are having a hard time and it is good to help somebody

because you never know when you need help”.  I remember that and my mom always had a

heart with people.

            The country that I wanted to learn more about poverty is Sweden. Sweden

 affects children in their development. Children that are from Sweden grew up in poverty,

absolute or relative, suffers from bad health, produce worse school worse school results, lack

self-esteem, and more likely to be victims of violence. People speaks so highly of the country

of Sweden. but is one of the 35 rich countries who let children fall into deep poverty if compared

to the population as total. The Urban Partnerships for Poverty Reduction program has improved

living conditions in Sweden and it also promotes inclusive and sustainable human development

and works to reduce poverty in all its dimensions. It helps people in equality and to produce jobs.

Child Development and Public Health Week 2

Breastfeeding

            Breastfeeding is meaningful to me because it helps the mother and the child bond more

together. Babies need to feel that nurturing, love, and security from their mother and the world

around them. Breastfeeding also helps mothers of not buying that expensive formula and it is

meeting the infant’s needs. The benefits of breast-feeding help the baby by having fewer ear

infections, allergies, less asthma, and a higher IQ, less likely to attend college.

            In the country of Kenya breastfeeding is on the high rise of demand for mothers. Kenya

has made significant strides in boosting exclusive breastfeeding, even passing a new law banning

the promotion of infant formula. A major part of prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission

remains. The law, passed in September of the year of 2012 that prohibits the promotion of

complementary foods and forbids heath workers from accepting gifts from formula

manufactures. It also requires formula packaging to contain notices, warnings and necessary

information with respect to promotion of breastfeeding and proper use of breast milk substitutes.

It is hope that the law will contribute to the government’s push to encourage all mother to

breastfeed exclusively for at least six months. This is particularly important for HIV-positive

women six month of exclusive breastfeeding is associated with a three-to four-fold lower

risk of transmission compared to mixed feeding, according to the UN Children’s Fund. Kenya

has adopted the UN World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation that HIV-positive

mothers should exclusively breastfeed their infants for the six months of life, introducing

appropriate complementary foods thereafter, and continue breastfeed for the first 24 months

of life.

            Breastfeeding has impact my future work as being an Early Head Start teacher of

providing resources for new moms that are pregnant to know the benefits of how it is important

to breastfeed your child. Unfortunately I was not able to breastfeed my child due to the fact that

my breast would not produce the milk. I was real upset because I wanted to bond more with my

child but there are other ways I knew to bond with my child. As a teacher I see a difference when

a parent breastfeed their child and when they don’t breastfeed their child. When children are not

being breastfeed I see children more sick with colds, allergies, and ear infection.  Some children

have a lot of ear infections that causes them later on to have tubes in their ears. This is how 

breastfeeding is important to my work.

Childbirth In Your Life Around The World Carmon S Week 1

My childbirth experience was a happy occasion but a high risk pregnancy. My pregnancy

was high risk before I had my daughter on September 29, 1999 due to the fact of the year

January of 1994 I had a miscarriage of triplets. In the year of 1994 at the time when I was

going with my ex-boyfriend and I have been with him  for over five years and I did not know

that in his family that twins had ran on both sides of his family with his parents. Three

months after I went for my checkup and found out that I was having triplets I had a miscarriage.

After the miscarriage me and my ex-boyfriend had broke up and we grew further apart. The

miscarriage hurt us both because we both was buying baby materials and we was happy about

me being pregnant. At the time I was working at child care center but after I had the miscarriage

I had to leave that profession that I love.So I took a break and work for the company at IBM.

            In the year of 1999 I had dated another guy and meet him at IBM and went with him for

 four years. After Valentine’s Day I found out that I was pregnant. At first I could not believe it

because I was scare of having another child and having a miscarriage is really hard. I had to go to

the high risk clinic every week so they could monitor my pregnancy. On September 29, 1999, I

gave birth to a baby girl who weighs 6 pounds, 3 ounces, 19 inches long. When I had my baby

girl, my parents, my aunt, her dad, was in the room coaching me as I was having my baby. To

have love and support from my family meant the world to me. As I had her and when she came

out everybody was happy and crying, my dad was the first to hold her and my mom was like she

is healthy she has all her fingers, toes, her two eyes, and a head full of hair. Not only that was a

happy occasion but I knew that this baby would be surrounded with love.

            In the country of England birth experience is different in the United States. I have learned

in England is when a mother  give birth to a child they have two choices of give birth in the

hospital portion of the birthing ward where epidurals were freely dispensed, and the second

option is when you have the baby in the birthing center in the hospital where natural births

are encourage epidurals are not available. England is real strict when it comes to personal

hygiene. Visitors are made to cleanse their hands before entering the birthing ward and noise

is to be kept down to a bare minimum so the new mother can get their rest and privacy. They

also have three midwives that checks on them every 15 minutes of giving birth to a child. They

also believe in natural childbirth.  In the United States I feel like you do not get a lot of rest of

having a baby in the hospital the nurse in your room every chance they get. Pregnant women

also have a choice to get the epidural if they want to. These are the difference of the births in

England and the United States.

My Colleagues

I just like to thank all my colleagues and my professor for being encourage, supported, and respectful
to each other for the past seven weeks. I feel like we was a team and that we was one big happy family
in the early childhood profession. I have also learn something different from my colleagues with help
me grow with resources in the early childhood. I wish every one much success.

Professional Codes Of Ethics That Are Meaningful To Me

We shall respect, value, promote, and encourage the active participation of ALL families
 by engaging families in meaningful ways in the assessment and intervention processes.


We shall recognize our responsibility to improve the developmental outcomes of children
and to provide services and supports fair and equitable manner to all families and children we serve.



Serve as a advocate for children, and their families, and their teachers in community and society.


These codes are ethics are significance to my professional life by me being a teacher I do the best to my abilities by promoting a learning, nurturing, and  loving environment. I also have a open door policy where
 parents came come in my classroom and volunteer to do activities which help them with their child developmental learning. Parents will come in and implement with activities with the lesson plans such as reading a book at circle time, having diversity families sharing their culture as far food, music, and books. I also have diversity pictures, dolls, people in the block area, and books that are in my class room. We have social events at the center like our spring and  fall social that way the teachers, children, families, and the community are networking together as one. I also participate in the policy council meetings and the parent meetings so I know what is going in my community to better help serve the children and families in my community. These are the ways that the codes of ethics are significance for my professional life.

About Me

A famous quote that is meaningful to me is  Good parents give their children Roots and Wings. Roots to know where home is, wings to fly away and exercise what's been taught them. Wise Phrase by Jonas

Salak. This quote means to me as a child and growing up you will remember the good advice, teaching, and

knowledge of what your parents have taught you. When you leave home you will never forget it.

My favorite book is "Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type" by Doreen Cronin the reason I like this book because the cow is typing a letter to farmer Brown of the different things that want so the cows is not doing

anything until they get the things they want.

A story about a child's life that touched my heart was when these two parents adopted a baby from a Russian and she had to choose between three little baby that was in a crib. At the time the baby was only eight months old so she was going to pick another child but the child Zoe reached out to her and her husband and the parents knew right than that was going to adopt that child. When Zoe came over to the United States 

I was her first teacher at the childcare center. It was a very hard transition for me and my co-worker at that time she finally began to eat, she was comfortable with her environment and we gave her lots of love. Zoe would cry everyday and we comfortable her and made her feel safe in our environment. The mom would cry at times and we will tell her it things will get better and it takes time. As time went by it did and now until this day  she is in the second grade and doing very good in her school. She is a straight A student. That is my Zoe!!!

A image of a child'd drawing that I like is when the child drew a picture of their house and they was outside planting flowers in the grass. To me that shows that the parents is taking time out to teach the child about nature and how to plant flowers in the dirt.

My passion for the early childhood field is that I love to work around children. I want to teach, educate, and be an advocacy for children but I also want to make an difference in a child life. I love children all around the world.
