~Equity and Excellence~
The topic that I have chosen to research more on this simulation process is equity and excellence in the field of early childhood education. I chose this topic because as a teacher I would like to make a difference in every single child's lives. While researching I personally would like to know more about ways to serve and understand equity and excellence in the community and in the classroom. I would like to understand more about how diversity plays a key role in developing a quality well run program. I believe with research of this issue, I will feel more comfortable with ensuring excellence to my students. I know that gaining knowledge and learning about our field is a life long process and with this course, it will be one step forward to giving the equity and excellence every child deserves.
The research chart was a very useful tool. Using the chart shows the quality the source may or may not have to a certain topic. I like the fact that it has specific questions to the article or website that we are using. I believe that through out this course it will help me to filter out the most important information that I will need to know.
Do you have any insight or knowledge to help me with this research topic?
I have used some great resources thus far in finding information on equity and excellence. They include:

ReplyDeleteWorking towards equity and excellence in education is something we as educators should all be striving to build towards. I am interested to learn more about where your research path takes you. What are the subtopics related to equity and excellence that you are interested in?
The National Academy of Education has a briefing sheet that could help give you some ideas. Check it out at http://www.ssc.wisc.edu/~hauser/NAEd%20White%20Paper%20Equity%20Brief%20Final.pdf
Thanks for the post!

ReplyDeleteYou have a nice post. Some readings and multimedia presentations during the last class bought to my attention the difficulty of measuring quality and excellence. The difficultly is because of the diversity in meaning and requirements from state to state. Do you think you will find enough information to come up with a guideline on equality and excellence?
Great topic. My hat goes off to you. Teachers have an important and sometimes difficult job. It is wonderful to see a teacher who has passion and commitment to the field. You don't view your students as just a paycheck but an investment in the future. I wish you the best of luck on your research topic.
