Research that Benefits Children and Families- Uplifting Stories


Option 2:

The major contribution I would make for children and their families would be providing quality early childhood care for children of diverse backgrounds. 

I would use the Nation Association for the Education of Young Children, Code of Ethical Conduct and Statement of Commitment to show how I would make a positive contribution.   The core values set standards of ethical behavior in early childhood care and education are based on commitment to the following core values that are deeply rooted in the history of the field of early childhood care and education.  

I can use these standards as a guideline to help me in the research of respecting the dignity, worth, and uniqueness of each individual as well as provide children from diverse cultural the respect they deserve.

My Personal Research Journey

The topic I chose for my simulation is Finding Ways to Support Children and Families of Diverse Backgrounds.

The demographics of our school systems are changing rapidly. The teachers need to prepare now for these ongoing changes. I feel that it is very important as a future educator not to be broadsided by these changes. I want to look into the research that surround the cultural differences of families, children.  I want to be able better understand and provide these children, families and educators the information they will need to be productive in the classroom.

My personal experience with this simulation process in that it is really preparing me for the research process of the topic I chosen.  The insights I have gained from constructing the research chart is that it is really helping me understand how to research material the correct way.  

My fellow colleagues I will greatly appreciate any help that you can provide throughout this process.  Feel free to share any information that you may have to guide me in the right direction.
