    I watched the video clip of Tom Beech (about self-reflection) again after scanning through your list. I do not perform self-reflections a lot in my teaching. Most of the time, my performances are rated by peers and by students. I am now seriously thinking using self reflection to dig deeper into my own feelings why I need to do in a certain way. Dr. Lee mentioned keeping a journal of our passion. Probably that can be a good start for my self reflection process.

      I learned a lot about self reflection "meditation or serious thought about one's character, actions, and motives". Some times as educators we must first look at our self and figure out our strengths and weakness before we can support others. Yes to self reflect is a good opportunity to strengthen your goals dreams and passions when you know your self well enough you begin to know what you need to work on to make your self better.

    I noticed your list included many NAEYC Articles. Do you read many of their publications? I enjoy them often because I am a member and the publications are sent to me. I think they can be really enlightening and also very helpful when your are looking at understanding how to be a professional in this field.

      Yes Colleen, I am too a member of NAEYC, in fact our site is due for accreditation (the act of granting credit or recognition, especially to an educational institution that maintains suitable standards), next year. "Accreditation is necessary to any person or institution in education that needs to prove that they meet a general standard of quality". I think NAEYC resources and information is reader friendly and all their facts are straight forward, I usually refer to NAEYC standards when sharing professional guidelines and expectations with family members and staff.

    Hi Nicole. Thank you for sharing your resources. In my opinion we can never have enough resources especially in the child care/education field. We can never learn too much in our field. I personally like to get new ideas and opinions to make improvements in my classroom and I'm always open to trying new things to provide the best care for the children in my class.

      I agree we as educators should never stop learning and growing there is always the need for professional development and growth, children are changing everyday we as teachers have to change and adapt to their surroundings. Others are looking at us as leaders we have to stay current with the necessary information to help support our children and families.
