field of education? Please explain.Already as a teenager, I loved to spend my time with small
children. I was asked a lot to babysit someone’s child. I enjoyed playing with children, help
them do their homework’s and just took care of them. Moreover, I have a cousin who is nine
months younger than I. She has and autism and is developmentally retarded. I grew up
seeing a lot of difficulties that my family faced throughout this period of time. With all my
passion for children and my own experience with a special needs cousin, I decided to go for
special education in early childhood to help children with special needs and families.2. What
is your teaching philosophy? Please explain.My teaching philosophy is an understanding
that all children are different in all aspects of their development. They are all individuals
with their own background history, family beliefs, religion, interests, strengths, and
weaknesses. Therefore, when educating a group of children, I would remember about their
differences and create my lessons based on the information I know about them. Also, I like
the theory of Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner. Every child learns differently as
they all different personalities with their abilities. I want my classroom to be a safe
environment for children with a space for learning in all eight intelligences. That way, I
would allow my students to learn more and develop an interest and motivation to learn.3.
What do you hope to accomplish by the end of the course? Please explain.I am very excited

course expectations/requirements? Please explain.As of today, I have multiple questions,
