Discussion

• Insights gained from your interviews regarding current advocacy efforts and needs in your area of interest within the field of early childhood
• The insights that were gained from my interview regarding current advocacy efforts and needs in my area of interest within the field of early childhood were the need for ratio change in the infant and toddler classrooms when children need extra attention before any type of observations are done. With all do respect some of our children are in need of additional attention sometimes as young as infancy when in a classroom of infants that are arm babies that have to be held to be feed and there are only two teachers and eight infants in one room crying at the same time to be feed. It is not fair to the children or the teachers.
• How these interviews may have influenced your decision about which area of interest and topics to choose for your research paper
• These interviews may have influenced my decision about which area in interest because in the pass this is where my focus was. On infants and toddlers being cared for with the proper ratio. With respect to the system there need to be additional help with the smaller children with and without special needs.
• Which area of interest you are thinking of focusing on for your paper as well as the related three specific topics
• My area of interest would be kindergarten children ages 5 and 6 years old. The area would be literacy and involving the families in this area to help at home as well as at school.
• Questions you have for your colleagues related to your area of interest and/or three topics
• Questions: What type of ideas my colleagues would have for setting up my classroom to focus all subjects on literacy in one way or another? Also, give me ideas for getting the families involved and making literacy fun to learn.
