Course Overview

Reflective Journal

Throughout the course, you will be asked questions to reflect on. You may choose to have conversations with your colleagues or mentors as you reflect, or perhaps you want to keep them private. In either scenario, you are asked to capture your reflections within a personal journal. 

Listening and sharing with the people you work with strengthens your team and helps you provide consistent care and support to children and families. It is important while taking this course that you are in an Early Childhood environment with young children and other ECEs.

We assume that managers have their ECE diploma and that most of the staff, if not all, do as well. The diploma recognizes the skills and knowledge that educators have gained in their post-secondary education. Early Childhood Education is a dynamic field with a history of thinking about education and young children, which is different from parenting.
