Environments That Reflect Our Values and Beliefs.
“Every environment implies a set of values or
beliefs about the people who use the space and the
activities that take place there....each environment
also influences the people who use it in subtle or
dramatic ways” (Jaruszewica, page 10).
In Week One you discussed a teaching philosophy
and curriculum which most closely matched your
own teaching philosophy. This discussion question
14. will expand on these ideas and focus on the
classroom environment. Watch each of the
following videos:
Montessori approach: Developmental Stages
Reggio Emilia approach: Reggio Approach
Waldorf approach: Waldorf’s Integrated Way of
Learning
Pay particular attention to each classroom
environment. Choose one approach that you
identify with most (it may be the same or different
from the approach you discussed in Week One).
Utilizing the text and at least one additional
resource, please discuss specific values and beliefs
of the teaching philosophy/approach you selected,
and explain how these values and beliefs are
reflected in the classroom environment design.
Expand on how the classroom environment design
supports the teaching philosophy and curriculum.
What elements would you identify as especially
important for you to include when implementing
this teaching philosophy and curriculum?

This paper should be a combination of
philosophies, theories, and concepts learned in
this course, and demonstrate how they apply to
the early childhood classroom. The primary focus
will be on the comprehensiveness of the many
components that are necessary to consider when
designing curriculum for a preschool or young
child’s classroom.
For the Final Paper

grade, etc.).
24. 2. Identify and discuss the three theories and/or
philosophies that reflect how you envision your
classroom and curriculum.
3. Provide a summary of the concepts you will
teach in each academic area (math, reading,
science, and the fine arts).
4. Describe two specific activities for each
academic area that will demonstrate how you will
teach these concepts in a way that is
representative of both the theories/philosophies
you discussed and NAEYC or state standards.
Your paper must be seven to eight double-spaced
pages in length (not including title and reference
pages) and formatted according to APA style as
outlined in your approved style guide.
