Hillary Clinton I have admired for awhile. She has worked on encorporating healthcare into the education field. She feels that when a child is healthy they can learn better("It Takes A Village To Raise A Child". Retrieved: July 21, 2011). She also has used the quote that"It takes a village to raise a child", which is one of my favorites. By making sure that the child is whole inside and out the child has a better opportunity to succeed.
Louise Derman-Sparks(“The Passion for Early Childhood". Retrieved: July 21, 2011) is a professor that we discussed in week two's assignment. She talked about how as a girl she didn't play dolls she played school. I was the same way. I had a huge chalkboard in my room and would line my dolls us to teach.
All 3 of these women were inspirational to me because they use the entire world to help educate our children. They use parents, teachers, doctors, community workers, and anyone else that might be involved in the child's life to help the child become successful and I love it.

Dewana,
ReplyDeleteI like your quote from Susan Bredakamp about teaching kids to read should be kept simple. I think we have to stick to the basics.
DeWana,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed what Louise Derman-Sparks had to say about her passion for the field of early childhood also. I feel many of the same things. Like the too of you I played school also and when my little sister had had enough I just lined up all the dolls and stuffed animals.
DeWana, I too share the philosophy of Hillary Clinton. It indeed takes a village to raise a children. That is why I enjoy working for Head Start. Head Start takes a comprehensive approach in providing services for children and families. Indeed, Head Start does an excellent job of infusing various services, such as, nutrition, social, mental health, disabilities, medical, dental and educational resources, to empower families and assist them in achieving self-sufficiency. It takes the whole village..simply said.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how great teachers feel the same about great things. We should really be honored to have the opportunity to teach these children.
ReplyDeleteDewana,
ReplyDeleteI chose quotes from Bill Clinton and Louise Derman- Sparks Also. I felt so much warmth and true passion for teaching while she spoke on the video. Hillary and Bill are both advocates for Education. I agree with you, it is an honor to have the opportunity to teach children.
