Reflective Analysis of Portfolio Artifact

Rationale/Reflection
NAEYC Standard:
STANDARD 6: Becoming a Professional
Candidates prepared in early childhood degree programs identify and conduct themselves as members of the
early childhood profession. They know and use ethical guidelines and other professional standards related to
early childhood practice. They are continuous, collaborative learners who demonstrate knowledgeable,
reflective and critical perspectives on their work, making informed decisions that integrate knowledge from a
variety of sources. They are informed advocates for sound educational practices and policies. NAEYC, 2010)

Brief Description of Evidence:


During the spring semester of 2014 my EDUC 210 Planning Elementary Education course required us to
attend a workshop/conference as a professional connection. I selected the East Central Chapter of Indiana
AEYC conference in Marion. I choose to participate in the sessions Conscious Discipline and Brain Smart,
How to Handle Challenging Behavior, Keeping your Cool like Pete the Cat, and I-READ Assessment. All of
them were amazing and provided me with valuable information to use in the classroom.

Analysis of What I Learned:


From attending this workshop I discovered different techniques to use when working with a student that
has a behavior that is challenging, the importance and benefits of using assessments, and yoga, several ways
of breathing as well as a variety of strategies to use when helping a child handle a particular situation and or
feeling. From attending this conference I gained knowledge of the ethical guidelines, professional standards,
and educational policies used in the early childhood profession.

How This Artifact Demonstrates my Competence on the NAEYC Standard:


This artifact demonstrates that I am competent in my ability as a teacher to continue to obtain new
information in early childhood and incorporate that knowledge in my classroom. I feel my competence from
this standard is proven by my ability to search for ways to help myself grow and improve as a teacher, look for
solutions to problems or issues that may be occurring in the classroom, and finding new ways to teach that
will meet the needs of each student.
