Reflection
As a teacher, it’s important for me to have an understanding to teach each domain (Language, Cognitive, Science, Social Emotional, etc.). I should understand central concepts for all disciplines to help children learn and have a solid foundation.
To demonstrate my ability to plan and execute the lesson plan, I am including my curation as my evidence. The site shows resources for the academic disciplines in an early childhood curriculum by including good sites for parents, teachers to use for each domain.
As part of the curation, I also include videos that show method and inquiry tool that we can use to execute the lesson plan properly through play and through open ended questions to help with the scaffolding
