Project Overview
My Project Description
Why did I choose this area of study
What do you already know about this project area?
How is this project a stretch for me?
- My project will be to job shadow a preschool teacher, Mindy Knutson, and learn more about preschool education. I want to experience working with preschool aged children, and explore my interests in a career that would involve this age group. By the end of this project I would like to teach a lesson and experience the process of planning a lesson. I hope to create connections with the kids and create a positive impact on them.
Why did I choose this area of study
- I chose this area of study in order to explore working with an age group that I have not worked with yet. I want to learn more about how preschool aged children learn and what it takes to help them navigate through this very impressionable time in their lives.
What do you already know about this project area?
- I have a background in child care. I work at Cobra Kids which is school age care. I have worked with kids from ages five to eleven, but I would like to experience working with younger children.
How is this project a stretch for me?
- I have not worked with this age level before and I want to learn how they learn and grow during this age period.
