Building Professional Competencies

Focus. Teachers need to understand their roles well to create an impact on children. The article used concentrates on childhood education. It gives teachers more knowledge in childhood education, thus helping them grow their momentum through competent ideas. These ideas include being knowledgeable, self-awareness, accountability, equitability, mentorship, and passion. This paper aims to discuss the main strategies discussed in the article.

Strategies The major strategies discussed in the article are how a teacher in early childhood education should have the passion and mentor his/her learners. According to Meghann (2020), this is a situation where the teacher should understand his/her children's behaviors to avoid wrongful judgments.

Resources. Being accountable and equitable are other important factors to consider when dealing with children. Despite having a degree as a high-quality teacher, a teacher also needs to know issues relating to child development.

Ideas. The teacher should be ethical, which means that the teacher should develop ethical guidelines in his/her practices as an early childhood educator. More so, the teacher should have the self-awareness to create an impact on his/her learners.

`In conclusion, to implement the above strategy, resources, and ideas for a teacher to be equitable, the teacher should create nap time for his/her learners. This helps in relieving the learner from being exhausted and improves the attention of the learner. Also, the teacher should learn about the learners' behaviors other than the coursework learned during child development programs in college. Finally, the teacher should develop a clear relationship with the families where the children come from on being ethical. This helps in supporting all children in the class.
