Reflective Analysis of Portfolio Artifact Rationale/Reflection NAEYC Standard:

STANDARD 5. USING CONTENT KNOWLEDGE TO BUILD MEANINGFUL CURRICULUM Candidates prepared in early childhood degree programs use their knowledge of academic disciplines to design, implement, and evaluate experiences that promote positive development and learning for each and every young child. Candidates understand the importance of developmental domains and academic (or content) disciplines in early childhood curriculum. They know the essential concepts, inquiry tools, and structure of content areas, including academic subjects, and can identify resources to deepen their understanding. Candidates use their own knowledge and other resources to design, implement, and evaluate meaningful, challenging curriculum that promotes comprehensive developmental and learning outcomes for every young child. (NAEYC, 2011)

Brief Description of Evidence:


I collaboratively worked together with the staff in my classroom to compile a number of measurable objectives to teach the children in our room. By designing, implementing and evaluating these objectives through our monthly unit plan I was able to better promote positive development and learning for each child. Once these objectives were evaluated and met, I then took what I learned about my students, and retaught in a different way or scaffold to challenge my students.

Analysis of What I Learned:


Through the completion of this unit plan, I was able to develop a classroom wide curriculum, but use what I previously knew about each child to teach in a way I knew they would learn best. If the children are not learning from the activity, then I use resources such as other teachers in the building, administration, websites, and even previous activities.to deepen my understanding of the essential concepts being taught in each lesson.

How This Artifact Demonstrates my Competence on the NAEYC Standard:


This project is one of many that builds my confidence in creating and implementing meaningful curriculum in my classroom. I feel that I actively use my resources when developing activities and lessons for my students. I try to find many ways in which to teach a lesson so that each child can have a positive experience, and take away from it a new concept they did not previously possess. I also challenge my children when I feel they have mastered the new concept in order to build their selfconfidence.
