When I Reflect About My Collegial, Professional Learning


When I Reflect About My Collegial, Professional Learning

 

Three consequences of your experience being a part of caring, collaborative learning community for your professional growth and development, one consequence their no direct interaction with other people like in other college. Next you don't get see the professional growth of colleagues. Finally this not a consequence I enjoy learning from all of you everybody gave and sharing their knowledge and I learn something new from everybody.

 

From this experience the goal is the advocate for more funding for early childhood education and increasing teacher salaries. Also to promote the positive thing we do for family and children in education.

My Hypothetical Family Situation


My Hypothetical Family Situation

 

I am marry with four children from age 2 to 8. I am pregnant with my fifth child. I carry the Sickle Cell trait and so does my husband. Two of my children carry the trait. I just been told that my fifth child has Sickle Cell Anemia disease. “Sickle cell anemia is an inherited form of anemia a condition in which there aren't enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen throughout your body. Normally, your red blood cells are flexible and round, moving easily through your blood vessels. In sickle cell anemia, the red blood cells become rigid and sticky and are shaped like sickles or crescent moons. These irregularly shaped cells can get stuck in small blood vessels, which can slow or block blood flow and oxygen to parts of the body. There's no cure for most people with sickle cell anemia. However, treatments can relieve pain and help prevent further problems associated with sickle cell anemia.”(Mayo Clinic 2014)  I work part- time and go to school and my husband work full-time. We are working poor. English is our first language. Two of my children attend Head Start and one attend Early Head Start and the oldest is in the third grade. When the baby is born my mother and mother-law will help me with daily routine of family.  I know that my child will be in and out of the hospital when sickle cell crisis occurs. In the future I would need health, early learning and development, and family leadership and support for my child. The early childhood related services that would support my entire family Is the relationship with the teachers and early intervention.

 

Have I given a complete picture of my family, or are there details missing that I should include in order to complete the assignment successfully? If so, what are your suggestions?

 

 Is this situation realistic?

 

Are there any specific websites I should be reviewing with regard to learning about quality services and programs for my child and family in this hypothetical family situation?

 

Does anyone have any thoughts, based on my specific family situation that will affect the early childhood system I am creating?
