900 words paper

Your goal in this part of the assignment is to document your learning through your professional experiences, directly or indirectly, as they connect to ECEC.

Submit a “Reflective Portfolio” paper, which is a collection of your most important “Ah ha” moments and charts a path for improving your practice in ECEC Administration and Leadership. Essentially, you will write a 750-1000 word paper (or equivalent in an alternate submission format) that focuses on your experiences and learning in each of the four big ideas covered in this course:

 Questions to guide your writing include:

• How has your participation in the community/ in the workplace, or in this course, helped your understanding of child care administration issues in each of the Big Ideas? Give specific examples.

• What have you learned from your professional interactions as you either put into practice or observed others practice in administration or leadership?

• What is the importance of professional networking and ongoing professional development?

• Consider your strengths, interests and areas to improve. What emerging goals/strategies will you set for your future development in this field?
