As of today, I am officially a first-time blogger!
I have yet to begin my practicum experience as I have only just ended the school year this past Friday. I am expected to complete 35 clock hours working with infants and 50 clock hours working with toddlers. This coming Thursday I will be getting a tour of my placement and I am really looking forward to checking it out. Hopefully by next week I will have a schedule of times and dates to report to my placement.
Be back soon!

The time has come for me to post my professional comment concerning an issue of my choice. I would like to share my thoughts on National Standards.
ReplyDeleteI recently was reminded via an article written by Randi Weingarten, who is the President of the American Federation of teachers,that we do not have national standards for the teaching and learning curriculum. Randi Weingarten is proposing that a broad-based group made up of educators, elected officials,community leaders, and experts in pedagogy and particular content-come together to take the best academic standards and make the available as a national model.
Some would argrue that education is a local issue, but there is a body of knowledge about what children should know and be able to do that should guide decisions about curriculum and testing.
I believe that all children can and should achieve at high levels, and that benchmarks should be defined. All children attending U.S. public schools should be taught to high standards regardless of where they live. In order for this to be accomplished, there has to be national content standards established. What do you think?
