teaching is informal and natural to suit the child’s interests.

Montessori education focuses on giving children freedom of choice to direct their own learning within a prepared environment.

The goal is to help children feel welcome and supported as they learn and develop.
How Children Learn by Playing
Few people would argue that playing is inextricably linked to childhood.

2.how social cognition impacts learning
The document discusses implications of Vygotsky's theory of social cognition and its impact on learning.

Role of the parents in the development of child's education
The document discusses the role of parents in their child's education. It argues that parental involvement depends on two key factors: their view of their role (role construction) and their sense of efficacy or ability to make a difference (personal efficacy). A parent's sense of efficacy depends on underlying beliefs, such as whether they believe achievement is predetermined or due to effort. These foundational beliefs along with feelings of competence influence how involved parents are in their child's education. Schools face the challenge of developing parents' abilities to better support their children's education.
Self-Determination

A study found that students with higher self-determination scores in high school were more likely to live independently after graduation compared to students with lower scores, regardless of IQ. Teachers can foster self-determination by helping students set goals, communicate what teaching methods help them learn, and participate in their IEP meetings.

Conflict resolution
Weekly conflict resolution sessions helped students learn to communicate feelings, solve problems, and create a safer classroom environment.

Ground rules ensured all students had a chance to share without arguing and left each session feeling united.

Educational Philosophy
- 1. Colleen McGillicuddy’s Teaching Philosophy As an educator, I believe in… Nurturing the Whole Child I understand that children are not just an academic product of my class; each child has his or her own unique background, emotional complexities, and individual worth. I believe first and foremost as an educator it is my role to not only help foster children’s intellectual growth but also their self -esteem. My background in psychology has been paramount in understanding the importance of teaching to the whole student for their long-term success in life. High Standards Social psychologist Lev Vygotsky said, “Children grow into the intellectual life of those around them.” I believe that when children are expected to do great things, they rise to the occasion. Creating a classroom environment of high expectations for best effort to be put forth, as well as art, current events, and real-life application for lessons, students can grow to become articulate, thoughtful, conscientious learners—it will simply be the norm. Celebrating Diversity As a teacher, I love the challenge of incorporating different learning styles and cultures. Traveling abroad and having multiple learning styles myself, I understand the importance of incorporating diversity. Knowing Garner’s Theory of Eight Intelligences helps me teach lessons with as many learning styles in mind as possible. Examples include: TPR, reader’s theater, art projects, team collaboration, hands-on math manipulatives, and visual presentations of lessons. When students share their own unique fortes and cultural background, their learning experiences are enriched, their self-worth is enhanced, and our classroom community grows. Enthusiasm Throughout my life, enthusiasm has been my strongest asset, and there is no better way to use it than in teaching children. I believe enthusiasm can be the bridge between an unmotivated student and a student who is eager to learn. I implement enthusiasm in one-on-one interactions with children, in teaching lessons, and in my encouragement to students on a personal level. A Growth Mindset Carol Dweck among other researchers continue to find that a growth mindset—a belief that our success is based off hard work, making mistakes, learning, and resilience—increases self-efficacy and motivation to learn. By encouraging children to have a growth mindset through explicit lessons and the wording of my encouragement, I believe children can find the tools they need to render magnificent results in their learning-- more than they thought possible.
