Creative Curriculum Foundation Diane Trister Dodge a preschool educator in 1979 introduce to the world The Creative Curriculum, she believed that the approach provided teachers with the support of making their goals co-inside in the classroom, by having appropriate developmentally practice and learning that is active for children that’s geared towards social competence. The curriculum holds a balance, teacher-directed and child-initiated learning which response to the learning styles of children and emphasizing on their strengths and interests. Dodge believed that the roles of families are valuable to the learning process. A bridge between home and school are valuable because it builds the foundation for how the child will learn and acquire information. Teachers who truly value the family’s role in a child’s education, and recognize how much they can accomplish by working with families, can build a true partnership (Dodge, Colker, and Heroman, 2002, pg.
CHARACTER EDUCATION AND ME 2 I agree that character education should be taught in schools. The question is what should be taught, and how should it be taught? Lickona (1991) stated that “good character consist of knowing the good, desiring the good, and doing good” (p.150). In order for schools to successfully teach character education students need to be exposed to, understand, internalize, and act upon universally agreed upon moral values (Lickona, 1991). I agree with Lickona (2009) when he said that “family lays the Foundation”.
Essay question: to what extent is Frank an effective teacher? “FRANK: What do you want to know? RITA: Everything.” (Russell, 6) In order to reach any conclusion on whether a teacher is or not effective, one must first proceed to an evaluation of the teacher’s role. Is a teacher not required by norm to be effective? Should not the act of teaching in itself imply effectiveness?

An international comparison of Swedish and UK education systems I will be examining the difference between the Sweden early education system and the UK early Years education system. I will then compare the two systems highlighting values that underpin the different countries’ curriculums. According to Sandberg, A. and ̌Arlemalm-Hagś́er (2011), the Swedish Early Years education is a combination of learning and play and the basic social values in life. Their curriculum focuses on three values which are; children’s rights, gender equity and what the education the state purports as a need for sustainable development. The Swedish curriculum for preschool is the ultimate determinant of the kind of education all childhood learning settings adhere to in Sweden.
A discussion of why you think an understanding of learning styles is useful to the student nurse. Introduction This essay discusses the imports of understanding learning style to student nurse, how to improve on a weak learning style and a discussion of the authors learning style. Academic success is attained through well structured/planned teaching method whereby student’s learning styles are not infringed by educators, and learning materials are presented in such ways that suit student’s individual preferences. When students understand their learning style, teaching and learning becomes an exchange of action, whereby the teacher passes knowledge as expected while the student absorb and utilizes the knowledge using their individual’s learning approach. In this sense, academic success and performance will benefit and promote the students, the teachers/educators, and also the educational system.

Through my personal experiences of education both in early childhood and primary and due to large amounts of critical reflection, I have been able to identify two key conceptual frameworks, these being social reconstruction and humanism, which guide my own teaching and learning. This essay will describe the ideologies that underpin them, and how each implies different approaches to teaching and to children’s learning. It will also critically analyse and examine the ethical impact of both, in relation to learning and teaching. In addition, it will also explore and illustrate the strengths, limitations, and/or drawbacks of social reconstruction and humanism in a practical context. Humanism is a conceptual framework that is part of the liberal ideology, it is a political theory that stresses individualism by rejecting an authoritarian government, and defending and advocating individual freedom (Rathgen & Hulston, 2004, Issues in Curriculum course reader, pg.
I have seen evidence of both working in my niece, especially when it comes to determining right from wrong. Moral development is the “process by which children adopt principles and values that lead them to evaluate given behaviors as right and others as wrong and to govern their own actions in terms of these principles” (Crandell, Crandell, & Vander Zanden, 2009). Cognitive Learning Theory suggests that “children acquire moral standards in much the same way they learn any other behavior, and social behavior is variable and dependent on situational contexts,” (Crandell, Crandell, & Vander Zanden, 2009). Simply put, the theory suggests that my niece would learn how to behave by watching others. This is why my mom always said to watch what I say and do around young, impressionable minds.
