What knowledge, skills and professional qualities are required to be an early learning professional?
Many early learning professionals in the state of WA today are being helped with scholarships to receive their CDA, AA and finally BA in ECE. It is important that as professionals in this area people are aware of developmental milestones, brain development, effects of toxic stress on a child and how to reverse it's effects as well as many other things such as consistency and the benefits of attachment.
What do you need to do to be an effective and inspirational teacher?
When I read above someone said passion and this jumped out at me. It is very important that teachers want to do the job they are doing with children at this young age as they are so impressionable. It is also important that they are patient and able to work along side the families and give them support and ideas as necessary to best help the child grow.

To be a successful early learning professional, you must have a great knowledge of brain and motor development in young children. A caring and patient nature combined with knowledge of child development is essential.

To be an effective and inspirational teacher you have to care about the children. You have to care about each and every child. Children are expert at realizing their caregiver's motives and realize if their caregiver's are insincere. One must genuinely care about each child.

Patience, creativity and extensive experience with a variety of children are all characteristics that caretakers need. You need to be passionate in what you're doing, in order for the children to get the best environment they can get.

The knowledge, skills, and professionalism needed in order to be an early learning educator are endless. You need to be a role model, citizen, community member. You need to be trained in the social, emotional, physical, and spiritual development of children in all abilities. You need to ensure confidentiality, responsibility, compassion, and commitment. You must come to work everyday with the children and their education in mind. Lessons are to be planned to bring out the imagination, creativity, and possibilities in children. A teacher is responsible for letting a child be the best individual they can be while setting appropriate boundaries to keep them safe from harm whether that is physically or emotionally. These are also ways in which you will be an inspirational and effective teacher. You need to gain the trust from the students and their families. A teacher bridges the gap of application between home life and school life.

You need the knowledge of average rate of growth physically, mentally and emotionally for children from birth to eight years of age. One needs to be flexible enough to know that not all children will be on the same learning curve, so met a child where they are and begin from there. Most skills can be polished with time so, be patient, caring and understanding, give yourself, the kids and parents support and remember, kids don't come with instruction manuals To be an effective teacher be consistent, keep a positive attitude, be enthusiastic and remember to give grace as God has given each of us grace..

To be a professional early learning person, I would need to know how to dress professionally in an acceptable manner, display courteous and positive attitudes, respect confidentiality, punctuality and timeliness, cooperate with co-workers, disengaging in gossip and negative behaviors, be able and equipped to make informed decisions and ethical decisions. I would also need to be able to accept responsibility for children's learning and development through the skills acquired from early learn education and other teachers. I would need to be able to collaborate with my colleagues, families, and the surround community while engaging in opportunities for professional growth and professional development. You also need to be physically and mentally able to handle children and know your limits for when you need help or a break and in my opinion, you need to know how to recharge and let of stress so that it does not build up and affect how you work as a professional in early learning development. Be kind, loving, and compassionate. In my opinion having a skill set that you can fall back on that integrates Honesty, Integrity, and Authenticity is as important as any of those listed above.

What knowledge, skills and professional qualities are required to be an early learning professional?

To be an early learning professional, one should have extensive knowledge of childhood development, have a positive attitude, have a passion for working with children, be able to collaborate with co-workers, families, and children, be punctual and well organized and committed. One should also know how to observe, keep records, and preserve confidentiality and keep up to date on the best, most current practices in early childhood education. The knowledge necessary should be gained through earning some kind of degree or training in early childhood - the more education, the better!

What do you need to do to be an effective and inspirational teacher?

You need to be patient and kind and have a love for working with children. You also need to plan ahead and invest in getting to know each child individually so that you can meet each and every child's needs. You should encourage independence in children, while still being their to support them if they need help. Communication is key as well. You should constantly be communicating with families and working together with them to provide the best education and experience for their children. One more thing that I feel very strongly about is that you should be able to make mistakes and show the children that mistakes happen and they are okay. Seeing a teacher make mistakes and keep trying can inspire children to do the same.
