    NAEYC Standard 6
    Becoming a Professional
    Students prepared in early childhood degree programs identify and conduct themselves as
    members of the early childhood profession. They know and use ethical guidelines and other
    standards related to early childhood practice. They are continuous, collaborative learners
    who demonstrate knowledgeable, reflective and critical perspectives on their work, making
    informed decisions that integrate knowledge from a variety of sources. They are informed
    advocates for sound educational practices and policies.

    As a professional or even just as an individual, I know that I am not just


    a teacher but also a lifelong student. Throughout my life I will have many
    opportunities to learn and develop my skills into a better understanding and
    knowledge of different subjects. My schooling in the early childhood
    education field is a never-ending process. Even though I will graduate in May,
    there will be many times that I will come across new knowledge even if it is
    not new to others. Becoming a professional is not all about what you can
    learn about children but also what you can learn about yourself. It is
    criticizing and reflecting upon your knowledge and behavior always. If you
    can not effectively critique yourself then sometimes having a nonbiased
    colleague would be beneficial as well.
    One thing I noticed about myself during my education was that my
    language skills were not very strong. I knew that they were as strong as they
    ever were but also understood that I have a long journey to improve them.
    Instead of taking just the required classes to graduate, I took a few extra in

    skills before taking the more advanced classes like compositions I and II. I
    signed up for a basic writing class to recover all of the basic English

    Clay P. Bedford

    A well informed and educated professional knows that just reciting and
    memorizing information is not really learning. The child may remember the
    information for some time but when learning through curiosity and being
    engaged in the activity itself it creates an impression for a very long time.

    Derner

    When the child is engaged fully and actively inquisitive this encourages a
    thirst for knowledge of the unknown that could be discovered. When the
    teacher provides an environment that encourages the childs curiosity,
    questions, and trials and errors the child will most likely embrace knowledge
    and understand that their inquisitions are a tool to be used and discovered
    more in depth. By doing so, the teacher creates a positive path for the child
    as a life long student.
