I brought children into this dark world because it needed the light that only a child can bring. ~Liz Armbruster, on robertbrault.com
I love your article on China! I think I am going to move there! There intepretation of early childhood is freaking awesome and actually serves quite a purpose, why not teach children that are with you for 10 plus hours a day while taking care of their needs. No wonder why they lead in education and corporate jobs.
ReplyDeleteHi Kyisha
ReplyDeleteI took some time to reflect on the NASP piece on Motivating Learning in Young Children. Our ideal will always be to construct an environment where children are intrinsically motivated by their own curiosity and how they are rewarded for exploring their surroundings. Unfortunately not all children are as responsive to environmental cues, and need to have their environment manipulated to create a need for them to want to engage with their peers and with their surroundings. As educators, this is one aspect that makes our jobs both challenging and rewarding.
Hi Kyisha,
ReplyDeleteI read your article. It was very interested. The way their early children program is set up is great!!! We surely can't do that in the United States.
Wow!I read your article about early childhood instruction in China. I was fortunate to spend a month in China and teach English to middle and high school aged children. I never knew this was how their early childhood education system was set up. I guess I didn't think to ask about my students experiences in kindergarten.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of the NASP website. I checked it out that is a very good article. I am always looking for ways to motivate children.
ReplyDeleteKyisha, these great sites for Early Childhood are great. Not so colorful but alot of information, and resource library, promate Professional growth,and motivation for children. Just to see an site of China for Early Childhood is wonderful, it's really world wide.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Sandra

ReplyDeleteI read your resource "Precious Children: Article:Early Education in China". It probably wrote around 1993. China has been changing during years after 1993. From official website of Education of China, the Minstry of Education of the people's Republic of China, you will see a lot programs that different from the programs mentioned in the article started after 1996. These progams has been influencing the early childhood education surrounded their region since then. A friend who is a teacher in a university of Beijing told me that her three years old child attended a program of Monssuri in a private school at Beijing.
