    Reflective Analysis of Portfolio Artifact

    Rationale/Reflection
    NAEYC Standard:
    STANDARD 4. USING DEVELOPMENTALLY EFFECTIVE APPROACHES

    Candidates prepared in early childhood degree programs understand that teaching and learning
    with young children is a complex enterprise, and its details vary depending on childrens ages,
    characteristics, and the settings within which teaching and learning occur. They understand and
    use positive relationships and supportive interactions as the foundation for their work with young
    children and families. Candidates know, understand, and use a wide array of developmentally
    appropriate approaches, instructional strategies, and tools to connect with children and families
    and positively influence each childs development and learning.
    Brief Description of Evidence:
    In the spring of 2010, I took ECED 103, Curriculum Early Childhood Education. I created several
    different activity plan sheets, with activities that I either made up or searched for on the internet.
    I created an activity plan sheet for white crayon resistance. White crayon resistance entails
    writing on a piece of paper in white crayon then painting over the crayon. After the children paint
    over the white crayon, they will be able to see what they wrote or drew. I implemented a couple
    of these activities into my classroom at work.
    Analysis of What I Learned:
    I learned how to make activity plan sheets, in detail. I learned how to make step-by-step
    instructions of the activity. I also learned how to connect with the children while doing the
    activity. For example, I learned about writing open-ended questions to engage the children while
    doing the activity, which helps to create positive relationships and supportive interactions. I
    learned how to use a wide array of appropriate approaches and tools to connect with children by
    creating my own activity plan sheets.
    How This Artifact Demonstrates my Competence on the NAEYC Standard:
    These plan sheets are just a couple of the many that I created and implemented into a
    classroom. This artifact allowed me to know, understand, and use a wide array of
    developmentally appropriate approaches, instructional strategies, and tools to connect with
    children by creating activities that appropriate for the age group. Also, I used appropriate tools
    for the age group of the children that I implemented the activities with. The activity plan sheets
    also helped me create positive relationships by engaging with the children as they were doing
    the activity. One example of how I engaged with the children is by asking open-ended questions.
    I am in agreement with Urie Bronfenbrenners theories. There are many different influences on
    children as they grow. Their family is important, but their caregiver and/or teacher are very
    important as well. A main caregiver and/or teacher can have a huge influence on a child and
    their development. The activities that I came up with can help children develop and learn new
    things.
