Statement Of Purpose: A Career In Early Childhood Education

Improved Essays
I am a 21 year old aspiring early childhood educator; I am presently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in this field. From an early age I have had the desire to teach, working with young children within my old church Sunday school program made me want to pursue a career in early childhood education.

    I teach a range of undergraduate education and developmental psychology courses to practicing and pre-practicing early childhood educators, matriculated into various degree and certificate programs.

Unfortunately, our current teacher credentialing system falls far short of this model. As I look forward to the next phase in my career, I am eager to delve into exploring bringing such a model to scale, and I believe that a degree in higher education administration will leave me best positioned to do…

My commitment to pursuing a career as an educator was established during my maternity leave, where I had time to reflect on going back to school. I was mostly inspired by my family’s ardor for education and by the encouragement of the executive director at my job who wishes to mentor me into the leadership world of Early Childhood…

    I agree with Moss (2010), who states “the educator needs to appreciate the range of disciplines, theories and practices available, and to understand her or his responsibility to decide where to situate herself or himself in this complex and diverse range of possibilities” (Moss, 2010, p. 15). Within education there are diverse disciplines, theories and practices, and like Moss, I believe its imperative for educators to have knowledge and an understanding of these before they are able to make informed decisions on where they position themselves within early childhood teaching, learning and development. This assignment intends to demonstrate the position I have taken, and include a critical analysis of the current early childhood curriculum and…

Also, following protocol and completing the necessary license standard examinations should be obtainable prior to teaching. As stated before, half a million early childhood educators are licensed as teachers whether they have a high school diploma or less. Even though teachers may have grown up in a different country or culture, certain requirements for teaching in certain schools are necessary upon being qualified to teach. Closing the word gap must begin by targeting what is causing it.…
