What strategy or approach from our readings could China use to guide Aaron’s behavior
In the readings and video this week, we examined the process of creating reciprocal relationships with the families of children in our care. Reciprocal relationships:
Are two-way relationships where information and power is shared between the parties
Require respect, trust, cooperation, and shared responsibility
Need open communication and a willingness to negotiate differences to be successful.
We also studied ways create a caring community of learners in our classrooms and schools. In this week’s discussion, we will apply principles from the readings and/or video to a scenario involving a teacher in a child care program. Please watch the two short videos and then answer the questions posted below.
Video 1: China is a teacher in an NAEYC accredited program that serves children birth through five years of age. China’s program is a large full-day community child care center. She has become concerned about Aaron, a four-year-old boy in her classroom. In this video, she shares a dilemma about how to express her concerns regarding little Aaron with his father (also Aaron.)
