Learning
a)
Little kids learn best about earnest, involved and receptive relations with their key caregivers.
This makes parents key in helping their children learn through the early years. Parents are the
first teachers to children, since children have tendencies of learning from parents more readily as
they get older (Morgan, 2011).
Little kids study through daily play and examination in a safe and encouraging atmosphere.
Parental child association, other family members and juvenile instructors are the basis for little
child’s strong learning and improvement. Time consumed while frolicking, talking, listening and
cooperating with these persons helps children learn the life assistances like communication,
precarious thinking, problem-solving, moving and connotation with other people and children
(Deiner, 2012).
Components of the stimulating environment include:
 Observation of stuffs, viewing faces and replying to voices.
 attending to, and building resonances through singing
 exploration – placing things in mouth, quivering things and rotating things around
 Questioning.
 Undertaking things that arouse all sanities.
Children require sustenance for studying; they need assistants to demonstrate to them what to
do without giving them all the answers. Leasing kids make errors and discover out for him how

the world workings are a major part of studying. Compliment and reinforcement as he/she
attempts tough will keep them attentive and make them feel better (Krogh & Slentz, 2010).
I believe that young children need more time to acquire basic skills and this requires slow and
careful teaching. This belief is supported by the fact that children naturally don’t have the
capacity to reason like adults (Deiner, 2012). As a professional teacher it would be essential to
meet the standards of teaching required of me in order to successfully teach.

1. Integrate Technology- children further technically understand than the adults dispensed to
teach them therefore for effectiveness, teachers must become conversant with the knowledge.
2. Cooperative Learning Structures- Operative teachers use student-based methodology.
Supportive appointment in classrooms reassures collaboration amongst the students, and exploits
membership. By Laura Candler’s supportive studying possessions sorts a variety of activity
pages and black line controllers for teachers, valuable for responsibility throughout supportive
learning.
3. Distinguished Tutoring- To differentiate individual needs of students, teachers can mold
learning experiences. Learning consists of three main styles: auditory, kinesthetic and visual. A
cognitive teaching style of youngsters defines the characteristics of these students and also the
types of actions in which they best flourish. Teachers may also distinguish by matching tasks to
readiness ranks, thus posing a suitable intervention and additional activities as necessary. Giving
children the chance to choose activities grounded on fragments of concentration is also a means
to segregate. Little-group task is among the greatest and operational means to accomplish desires
of dynamic beginners in huge session situations.

4) Aim Setting- aim-setting processing encourages kids to take charge of their studies. In the
first stages it should be done in a perfect and simpler way. Teachers can additionally ease aim
setting by consuming newscaster plans and related supports.
5) Cross-Curriculum Teaching, - this aids the students in acquiring deeper learning ideas and
skills. A major approach to concurrent learning includes; Project-based learning that includes
kids doing projects that finishes with tangible result. Problem-based studying needs the teacher
to head the kids in making some of the solutions to the challenges. Under inquiry based learning,
the kids come up with their own questions according to their areas of interest that they need to
check on. Such kinds of approaches are preferred because the teachers involve the kids finding
out the information in a more advantageous manner.
6) Assessment for Learning- involves formative Assessment, which is utilized by teachers to
modify tutorials to meet the students’ requirements. Since collective assessments does not
always relay a precise picture of what a pupils knows. Educators may go around and check how
the kids are studying as they educate by use of class consultations, explanations, calculations,
and learning logs. Continuous estimates let teachers to retain their fingers on the pound of the
classroom to assurance that students are learning (Su & Gettrick, 2012).
I believe that the methods of teaching should be created in such a way that they meet the
standards of required level of teaching so that the children can benefit from this. Several scholars
have argued that pedagogies would be ineffective if poorly used (Morgan, 2011).

c. Professional Ethics
To Children
1. Compliments and admits each child nevertheless of their rivalry, doctrine, demonstrative
or bodily attendance.
2. Defend child’s securities, essentials and talents and exploit them to satisfy the child’s
prospective.
3. Generate an atmosphere which supports children advance self-possession and confidence
in themselves and others.
4. Enable complete progress of the child.
5. Forward distrusted cases of child mishandling.
To Families
1. Reverence the parent’s information of their child and uphold privacy in the daily
commerce.
2. Uphold open communication with the child’s family.
3. Reverence diverse family ideals and principles.

To Self and Colleagues
1. Make continuous exertions to expand jobwise by hunting knowledge concerning
expansions in the applicable ground.
2. Reverence other contemporaries as specialists.
3. Segment information with classmates.
4. Uphold discretion concerning coworker’s opinions.
I believe that every teacher should be ethical enough not to engage in vices that would lower the
dignity of the teaching profession. This is supported by the fact that children require role models
to lead them as they learn from others (Sue & McGettrick, 2012). Any teacher engaging in
unethical behavior will be considered to be below the required standards.
