Who I am as an educator?

I get so busy, being busy I forget who I am. I thought today I would sit down and spell it out.

Here’s who I am in Early Childhood Education: 

• I love what I do and I know for sure I should be leading and teaching in Early Childhood
• Learning more is important to me and I must schedule my time to include studying
• I want to see a consistent change in teaching style to play based child led and am committed to work with staff to that end 
• My Wonder Teacher Certification is important to me and need I to commit to do so 
• I have a great place as is, however it can be always be better 
• There are people better, smarter, more together than I and this does not diminish me, I am enough and we’re all in this together, it is not a competition 
• That said, I get, I am competitive and want to win, complete, and challenge others 
• While I am just one person, I am also a member of a larger community 
• I have let my local colleagues go after I moved and need to reinvent myself or reconnect whichever feels better 
• We are all a work in process
• The wonder I see daily in the children keep me going
• I am a passionate committed early childhood educator
