    Reflective Analysis of Portfolio Artifact

    Rationale/Reflection
    NAEYC Standard:
    STANDARD 5. USING CONTENT KNOWLEDGE TO BUILD MEANINGFUL CURRICULUM
    Candidates prepared in early childhood degree programs use their knowledge of academic disciplines to design,
    implement, and evaluate experiences that promote positive development and learning for each and every young
    child. Candidates understand the importance of developmental domains and academic (or content) disciplines in
    early childhood curriculum. They know the essential concepts, inquiry tools, and structure of content areas,
    including academic subjects, and can identify resources to deepen their understanding. Candidates use their own
    knowledge and other resources to design, implement, and evaluate meaningful, challenging curriculum that
    promotes comprehensive developmental and learning outcomes for every young child. (NAEYC, 2010)

    Brief Description of Evidence:


    As part of requirements of my job in a licensed, NAEYC accredited center, and from applying my
    knowledge from my ECED 243-Cognitive Curriculum course, in the fall semester of 2014, I wrote and
    implemented weekly unit plans with my one year-old students that follow the NAEYC standards and Indiana
    Foundations. In these plans I decide the types of art we do each week that has a theme. As well as planning
    different types of gross motor activities, music activities, language activities, and fine motor activities to teach.

    Analysis of What I Learned:


    Through completion of this unit plan framework I learned how to create a useable plan to help guide me
    while I teach my students. It helped me to plan out for the week instead of just for one lesson. By implementing
    these lessons it has helped me to become a better self-evaluator, as well as helped me to talk to parents about
    their childs interests.

    How This Artifact Demonstrates my Competence on the NAEYC Standard:


    This artifact demonstrates my competence on the NAEYC standard 5: Using Content Knowledge to
    Build Meaningful Curriculum by demonstrating my ability to design, implement, and evaluate exercises that are
    meaningful and challenging while promoting positive development in learning. This artifact also shows my
    ability to promote development in several different domains. I can use this in my classroom as a format for
    future unit plans. When writing these lesson plans I stick to a play based learning approach.
