Time Well Spent


WE HAVE MADE IT TO THE FINISH LINE!!!

Throughout the past 8 weeks I have experienced how to create a wordle, an ideal Community of Practice, and connecting with my classmates.


  • The wordle was a way for me to start thinking about what was more important to me in the early childhood field. It was creating the wordle that has allowed me to really focus on some issues in the early childhood field and then lead to creating an ideal Community of Practice.
  • Creating an ideal Community of Practice allowed me to focus in on an issue that needs to be improved for all children’s developmental growth and education. My focus was improving family involvement that impacts children’s developmental growth and education. It was through creating my ideal Community of Practice that has allowed me to move forward and work with my colleagues and develop what I would call Early Learning Home Visit Model.
  • Connecting with my classmates throughout this course has given me very helpful insight and how I can make my Community of Practice better. Not only giving me the all their insights it was connecting with my classmates that has given me the courage to connect with my colleagues and move forward on my Early Learning Home Visit model.

 
 
A long-term goal for me is develop my Community of Practice and my Early Learning Home Visit model. This is a way for be to advocate for children and families and improve children’s developmental growth.
 
 
 
Dr. Teri I would like to thank you for all the helpful hints that were given in the newsletters and the fast response to answering questions we had throughout this course. I also want to say I have enjoyed this course and that you took my stress away with encouraging words you would response to throughout the course and through personal emails. Your guidance throughout this course has been greatly appreciated and was very helpful in that I can do this!! I also would like to let you know Dr. Teri that I have started talking with my colleagues about creating my CoP to improving family involvement.  I also want to thank my classmates in giving me your feedback that impacted my way of thinking to create my CoP.  I wish everyone the best in your future adventures. I also would like to encourage all of my classmates to continue using your blogs to post insightful information and your future adventures.
