“Poor children suffer from a lack of money, not a lack of intelligence." Edward Zigler
"Of course children benefit from positive feedback. But praise and rewards are not the only methods of reinforcement. More emphasis should be place on appreciation--reinforcement related explicitly and directly to the content of the child's interest and efforts " Lilian Katz

Hi Whitney,
ReplyDeleteI so agree with the quote from Sandy Escobido. This is why I strive hard to learn all I can so I can be effective in a child life. It is important for me to know what I am teaching and to make sure that what I am teaching will better the life of children. I am truly grateful that I have the ability and the passion to want to learn more about early childhood education. I also believe that not only do professionals have this opportunity but family members, community leaders, and peers help in shaping the lives of children. Great QUOTE!!!!
Whitney-
ReplyDeleteI loved the quote from Zigler. I believe many people are stuck on poverty and intelligence as being related. One can have no money and still be intelligent. With proper food, clothing, and shelter, children can thrive and show their intelligence.
Nice quotes Whitney, I think we as educators need to be valued and appreiciated for the outstanding work we do for our children. Professional development is the keep to getting the recognition we deserve.
