wk1 What Resonates with you about Early Childhood Public Policy Advocacy?

This specialization is important to me because public policy and advocacy can support developmental research and traditional educational practice for students five to eight years old, who learn in particular ways related to their chronological age, and that classrooms and curriculum should be reflective of that developmental level.

I would like to be able to assist with setting standards for early childhood education assist with daycares having a uniform system of providing quality services to children.  Some of the benefits would be to: improve staff to child ratios, which would ensure each child would receive better individualized care and attention.  Making sure new staff qualification requirement skills are there to promote a better learning environment for each child.

Three goals are to advocate for:

    Early childhood education programs to always have quality staff. Teachers should be well    

    trained and knowledgeable about the best types of early education practices.

     

    That children initiate their own activities. Children should be actively engaged in                        
     learning by participating in hands-on learning activities and social play.

 

      Early childhood education should encourage a physical environment that teaches            
      students through active exploration.
