judgment to make good decisions and are given the opportunity to use
them." – NAEYC, Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood

Hi Tracy! I love your quote by Susan Bredekamp. This is also an article that I have read in preparation for this week. Though we teach and work with students daily, we can make all the difference in the world in a child's life. If we take the time to develop our skill, learn more, and make good, sound decisions when given the opportunity, we can truly allow students to blossom. From my own experience, I am learning to be more deliberate in everything that I do that affects my students and their learning. What does this quote mean to you?
ReplyDeleteI have found T. Berry Brazelton extremely motivational and inspirational to say the least. What a fascinating person and I love how down to earth he comes across in his dealings with adults.
