Anti-bias and Culturally Relevant Curriculum

             As adults we are distinguished and united by differences and similarities according to our gender, age, language, culture, race, sexual identity, and income level etc. Such diversity challenges our intellect and emotions as we learn to work and live together in harmony. However, if we are to talk about a child; from the day a child is born, he/she is raised into the cultures of his/her parents. A child is taught about his/her native language and his/her cultural belief. He/she meets different cultures, different foods, his/her way of dressing and speaking, and

A Brainstorm about Ethical Conduct of Early Childhood Education

               As I am a “preschool teacher” student, I think, I don’t have enough proof to tell something about ethic of early childhood education.

          To discuss the importance of phonological awareness skills in supporting emergent literacy, at first I want to try to explain what is phonological awareness and then what is emergent literacy.

Challenging Behavior in Young Children

Introduction

In this work, there are 5 incidents, their analyses, and final thoughts. Because it is summer term, at Bogazici Campus Yuva students generally were in their out-door activity time. Whenever I went to the Yuva (which had only 3-year-old students); all students, all teachers, and all caregivers have been in the garden for 3 hours (from 9 to 12 O’clock). As a result, teachers in the logs are not the same because a teacher cared with the students who are from both of her own class and other class. Because there were many teachers, I did not state the teacher’s names but state the student’s names.

Each person may have own philosophy related to his/her job. As I am a teacher (not now but in the future) normally I have my philosophy, too. I know that there are many hidden aspects of being a teacher. Being a primary school teacher means noise in the class & phone calls in the home, documenting every move you make, and accountability.
