This week you studied a variety of position papers, all of which put forth arguments in support of stronger funding of quality care and education during the early years. These arguments originate in three “worlds” usually not deeply connected with the lives of young children. They are proposed by economists, neuroscientists, and politicians.

Currently, many seasoned early childhood professionals are finding that their experience-based knowledge of children and families is supported by research within these three fields. And, overall, early childhood professionals have welcomed this research and the influx of new interest by these fields because it is beginning to translate into increased funding for programs in need of financial support, or into the creation of worthwhile new early childhood programs.

On what specific data do these voices, new to the field of early childhood, anchor their arguments? What are some of their main arguments for supporting young children and families? In what ways do they articulate their support? What is the essence of their suggestions? This assignment is an opportunity to investigate these questions.

In preparation for the Discussion,

• Review all required resources, including the media segment and the U.S. Department of Education website.
• For each resource, evaluate which main arguments are presented in favor of care and education policies for the early years.
• Choose one written resource that stimulates your professional curiosity more than the others, and that you want to analyze further.
• Using the reading you selected and the media segment, evaluate in what specific way(s) commitment to the well-being of young children, families, or early childhood professionals is expressed in each of the two resources.

By Wednesday:

• What influenced your choice of the written resource?
• How is respect for and commitment to the well-being of young children, families, and/or early childhood professionals expressed in the article and the media segment?
• How has your understanding of early childhood issues and trends deepened by considering the views of economists, neuroscientists, and politicians?

  Bob started his IRA at age 32. The first 12 years of his working career, he used his discretionary income to buy a home, upgrade the family cars, take vacations, and pursue his golfing hobby. At age 32, he made his first $2,000 contribution to an IRA, and contributed $2,000 every year up until age 65, a total of 33 years / contributions. He plans to retire at age 65 and make withdrawals from his IRA.

  Both IRA accounts grow at a 7% annual rate. Do not consider any tax effect.

Fear is the main barrier to successful presentations. It is important to engage the audience in order to be an effective professional presenter. I definitely have a fear of public speaking and this prevents me from fully enjoying the experience of sharing knowledge and my vision. However, this weakness is only with large groups of 5 or more people. I suppose I’m afraid I’ll make a huge mistake and everyone will laugh or critique me. Also, another weakness is a lack of eye contact with the audience. I tend to focus on a few friendly faces when it is important to make the entire audience feel as if you are speaking directly to them. Facing my fear one step at a time seems to help ease the nervousness a little more each time. According to Foulkes, 2014, acquiring the skill of professional presentation can increase a nurse’s sense of empowerment and confidence. One method which could potentially calm my nerves before a presentation would be to utilize deep breathing and visualization. Also, doing something to release the nervous energy such as taking a quick walk outside. In addition, I believe if I can visualize myself as a confident speaker who is engaging and interesting, it could help this become a reality. Also, being organized and well-prepared will be vital to the success of my presentation. Moreover, practicing with a friend or family member could provide useful feedback.

My strength is that if I am passionate about the topic, I tend to be enthusiastic and lively. I’m more concerned about sharing my knowledge and/or vision than my fears. So, whenever presenting professionally, its vital that I truly believe in the topic. Also, another strength is that I tend to keep presentations to the point and enjoy creating visual tools such as powerpoints.
