Teaching Strategies
As an ECE educator, it is good practice to reflect on and assess your own practices. After reviewing the information from the lecture materials, including the supplemental readings, develop a self-assessment checklist that could be used for your own assessment of applying effective teaching strategies. To complete this assignment, do the following: Use the Teaching Strategies Self-Assessment Checklist and the Lesson Content, locate ten (10) teaching practices and strategies for effective teaching in Early Childhood programs. For each practice/strategy, list two (2) observable criteria that would indicate a teacher meets the strategy. For example, if one of your strategies is “Acknowledging Children,” what criteria would be used to assess the accomplishment of this strategy? Using the measurement system provided, complete the checklist section based on your current knowledge and/or work with young children. In the comment section of the Teaching Strategies Self-Assessment Checklist, answer the following questions: How do you meet this criteria? What is one (1) strength you have in this area? What is one (1) weakness you have in this area and what plan will you make to improve?
