Instructions
Reflecting on your experiences with children, families, and colleagues can provide you with relevant professional development opportunities such as in this case when it comes to explaining how cultural and environmental factors can affect child development. In this reflection, you will look more closely at this module's scenario and discussion about the different positions taken by Lisa and Danielle.
In a two-page written reflection, address the following:
- Identify your assigned person, Lisa or Danielle
- Do you agree, disagree (or both agree and disagree) with your assigned person's position?
- If yes, give three examples of ways their position was aligned to your educational philosophy and cultural beliefs.
- If no, give three examples of ways their position was not aligned to your educational philosophy and cultural beliefs.
- If both, give clear examples of why you can both agree and disagree with their position and how the alignment to your beliefs can be both.
Describe how Lisa and Danielle's practices support infant and toddler development across all domains:
- Physical
- Social and Emotional
- Language and Communication
- Cognitive and Intellectual
If you were faced with a similar scenario, how would your knowledge of infant and toddler development support your collaboration and communication to address differences of practice with colleagues? Provide at least one specific example within your practice or experience to illustrate your point.
