Quality
"To address today’s and tomorrow’s requirements, the education sector must impart the necessary competencies but also nurture lifelong learners. The two Analytical Tools (on Competencies and Lifelong Learning) help countries if their education system is equipped to produce the right type of human resources and good citizens".This was taken from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and it is at the core of what I believe. This week we were asked what some of our professional goals are. I think this quote says it best. I really do believe that it's necessary for the education sector to nurture lifelong learners. I see the need to make sure that this philosophy begins in the early childhood years. This doesn't start at the high school level. Life long learning should begin before children enter their formal years in elementary school. For this reason, I am looking forward to making the transition from special education to early childhood education so that I can become a part of a community that nurtures lifelong learners into tomorrows future.

ReplyDeleteLife long learners is the key. By the time they reach high school the are bruned out and learning is no longer fun at all!!!!!!!
Thesha- I love the quote and I agree with you, I had stated in my paper for this week that this class was one that actually made me rethink what I really want to do with my degrees once I am finished, I know I will stay with education, but I am being drawn to working more with families so I am trying to find a position that will allow me to explore this route more.
