Personal Philosophy

[sunny.cooper]

Hi all,

Currently I am doing my assessments and just finished write my philosophy.

Could you read mind and give me a feedback? as follow:

I believe that children will open their mind when you are kind, loving and care for them even though you look different or you are not their parents. I will focus on supervising the children for safety, caring and loving. I will help parent who need most with their children. It is important to work together with parents, families and other educators so, children and families feel safe, secure, respected, and supported when they need myself. I will continue to learn, grow and share information and experience with other educators which I believe that educators need to evaluate and improve their skills time to time. Program and environments in the service must focus on children. My obligation is individual children’s interests and potentials are related and created to help develop the children and learning through play. Environment for indoor and outdoor for children are natural as possible and provides quality materials, equipment under Australian standard.
The Australian Early Childhood Code of Ethics.
VII. In relation to myself as a professional, I will:
2. Regard myself as a learner who undertakes reflection, critical self-study, continuing professional development and engages with contemporary theory and practice

3.2 The environment is inclusive, promotes competence, independent exploration and learning through play.

3.2.1 Outdoor and indoor spaces are designed and organised to engage every child in quality experiences in both built and natural environments.

3.2.2 Resources, materials and equipment are sufficient in number, organised in ways that ensure appropriate and effective implementation of the program and allow for multiple uses.

For children:
I believe all children are different as individual and they have their unique way to explore world. They have own way to solve the problems, different interests and abilities. It is important to build positive relationship with their parents and educators. This will connect to children’s development, self-esteem and positive learning. This is reflected within the principles, practices and outcomes of the Early Year’s Learning Framework.
As an early childhood educator, I am responsible for providing children with positive learning experiences. I will respect, patient and care for children and I will help and reach their needs whenever they need me. Children are fast learner, motivate learner and curious learner. I believe that they have rights to learn… I will make sure children are all in safe and secure environmental so that they are able to explore, learn and express themselves. I will support children when they are developing themselves and learn to recognize and name their feelings. I believe that teach children how to regulate their emotions when they were young, it will help them when in later their life.
IV. In relation to communities, I will:
1. Learn about the communities that I work within and enact curriculum programs which are responsive to those contexts and community priorities.

EYLF: Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world

“Children develop a sense of belonging to groups and communities and an understanding of the reciprocal rights and responsibilities necessary for active community participation”

EYLF: Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners
“Children develop dispositions for learning such as curiosity, cooperation, confidence, creativity, commitment, enthusiasm, persistence, imagination and reflexivity” (Belonging, Being and Becoming, pg 34)

For family:

Family is the strong part of children’s life. Children learn and build relationship from their family first. So that, it is important to family to involve in the service and build relationship with educators and working together to find the best for the children. All the family from different culture should be respected and acknowledged with the service. The service give opportunity to share family to their culture so that children and other family members are able to learn and understand differences between cultures.

6.1 Respectful supportive relationships with families are developed and maintained.

6.1.2 Families have opportunities to be involved in the service and contribute to service decisions.

6.2 Families are supported in their parenting role and their values and beliefs about child rearing are respected.

I think your personal philosophy is good!

It clearly states what you believe in and how you will achieve it. It also shows your positive ethical values!

I liked how you linked the EYLF and Code Of Ethics with it as well!!
