Observing and Interacting with Professionals

In the daycare that I have been working with the staff members are wonderful. They all have positive attitudes and mind sets. I find this is be great especially around the students. The classroom what I have been observing is a toddler 2 class.The children really look at the teacher and other staff members as role models and those to look up at-so it is very crucial that the staff is caring, positive and happy to be there. Many teachers go to work to receive the paycheck and really do not give much enthusiasm and concern to their students and they only do the bare minimum but there are plenty of teachers that are the opposite and this daycare really shows those types of teachers. These teachers work with and along side the children where some teachers of young children just let them roam and do their own things. From the observation for this module I was really able to see more of the behind the senses activity as well for a teacher on a normal day. I was able to observe the before classes start mode that this center has. I was able to watch and interact with the preparing for class materials and lesson planning. I really enjoy this setting as a fieldwork location. I find this center to be not only positive, helpful and educational to the students but also for myself. It is an eye opener for what really happens and takes place on any given day.

  1. I love to here when daycare's have positive staff because I agree with you it really shows in the children. I recently just left my job because I truly felt that the staff members were drained out and where there was once a smile is now a straight face. I think that for children especially at the age of two need to know that they are being cared for in a positive and careful way because these early experiences are what really molds a child.

  2. I have taught for 37 years and in all those years I have never met a teacher that just goes to school just to get their pay check. It's too bad that children have to be exposed to those kind of teachers.
