Reflective
Practice
Response
During
my
time
at
Bradley,
my
teaching
philosophy
has
developed
and
changed
beginning
with
my
first
experience
observing
in
a
classroom
to
my
last
experience
student
teaching
in
a
classroom
of
19
students.
I
have
grown
both
as
a
person
and
as
a
teacher,
learning
more
about
myself
through
the
interactions
and
teaching
experiences
I
have
had
with
young
children.
What
I
aspire
to
be
as
an
early
childhood
educator
is
not
only
helping
children
learn
fundamental
skills
but
getting
them
excited
to
explore
new
things
and
learning
through
interactive
activities
giving
them
a
life
long
love
of
learning.
My
love
of
learning
has
flourished
over
the
past
four
years,
and
I
am
eager
to
share
it
with
my
future
students.
Each
child
is
a
unique
individual
who
deserves
a
secure,
caring,
and
stimulating
atmosphere
in
which
to
grow
and
mature
emotionally,
intellectually,
physically,
and
socially.
I
have
learned
as
an
early
childhood
teacher
it
is
most
important
to
create
a
learning
environment
where
my
students
feel
safe
and
loved.
Standard
Four
focuses
on
structuring
a
learning
environment
that
is
safe
and
healthy.
In
order
of
accomplishing
this
belief,
I
have
discovered
that
I
must
take
the
time
to
know
and
understand
the
characteristics
and
needs
of
my
students.
Instead
of
thinking
of
my
class
as
a
whole,
I
have
learned
to
take
the
time
to
invest
in
each
one
of
my
individual
students.
I
ask
about
their
families,
observe
what
they
like
and
dislike,
and
engage
with
personal
conversations
about
how
they
are
feeling.
Welcoming
my
students
is
one
of
my
favorite
parts
of
the
day
because
I
get
to
talk
to
each
student
and
see
how
he/she
is
feeling.
I
have
grown
from
being
shy
and
asking
surface-level
questions
to
now
knowing
what
their
sibling
names
are
and
what
makes
them
happy
or
what
makes
them
mad.
By
acknowledging
their
feelings,
I
have
learned
to
adapt
to
the
needs
of
my
students
and
to
create
a
learning
environment
that
is
fit
to
the
needs
of
each
of
my
individual
students.
Another
area
of
my
philosophy
that
has
developed
over
the
past
four
years
relates
to
Standard
2.
Building
Family
and
Community
Relationships
and
Standard
6.
Becoming
a
Professional.
Establishing
a
healthy
relationship
with
both
the
parents
and
school
community
is
an
area
that
I
have
grown
and
matured
in
over
the
past
four
years.
I
have
seen
firsthand
how
a
positive
relationship
with
a
students
parent
effects
their
learning
development.
Taking
the
time
to
create
a
relationship
that
incorporates
the
parents
into
their
students
learning
is
beneficial
for
both
the
student
and
the
parent.
When
I
was
a
freshman,
my
philosophy
did
not
even
mention
creating
a
collaborative
relationship
with
both
parents
and
school
community.
I
was
focused
more
on
what
takes
place
inside
of
the
classroom.
Now
having
four
years
experience
in
the
classroom
and
interacting
with
numerous
parents,
I
have
realized
that
a
childs
learning
and
growth
begins
with
their
parents
and
continues
at
home,
not
just
at
school.
I
also
have
developed
my
collaborative
skills
when
working
with
both
teachers
and
the
school
community.
Listening
to
others
ideas
and
incorporating
them
with
my
own
has
benefited
my
teaching
skills.
Also,
by
collaborating
with
the
school
community,
I
have
been
able
to
plan
and
implement
themed
lessons
that
involve
parent/community
involvement.
