Ethical Dilemmas among Early Childhood Educators
Early childhood education is a very crucial stage in the schooling stages of a child. At school, children are inculcated in the schools system and their attitude and perspective about learning changes. From the pivotal role it will play in the schooling life of a child, the tutors have to ensure that they provide all the necessary attention and materials for these early learners. The other peculiar thing about the learners at this age is that their parents are always concerned about their welfare. Ideally, they play an active role in their learning process. In this pursuit, their interventions can at times conflict with those of the teachers who have been employed to raise these children in school (Anning, 2014). This following study focuses on the issue of teacher-parent conflict in relation to the story portrayed in the case study.
Parents as the major interested parties in the lives of the children have a convincing authority over the children. They are the actual beneficiaries of anything good that can come out of the schooling children. However, children are at the hands of the teachers while at school. The law empowers teachers with the responsibility of catering...
In terms of learning policies, the parents should not be given an unnecessarily influential position and stake in the decision-making process. This is disadvantageous because they will slow down the decision-making process because they end to oppose almost everything that comes their way. From their large numbers, it will impossible to accommodate all their suggestions. For this reason, the position of the parents should be to support the school administration and the teachers in achieving the learning agenda of their children (Anning, 2014).
Schools should cooperate with the universities by allowing them the chance to conduct mutual researches. This should be done through partnership in order to contribute to the body of knowledge. The school policy should state that once the children are admitted to the school, they are at the hands of the school administration. This will prevent the teacher-parent conflicts like the one involving Stacy and Shaun's mother. Stacy should ask for a meeting with the school principal and Shaun's mother in order to arrive at an amicable decision. Such a strategy is used in order to prevent the unnecessary confrontations that might affect the child's…

Parenting that Works by Dr. Edward Christophersen and Susan L. Mortweet In Parenting that Works: Building Skills that Last a Lifetime, Dr. Edward Christophersen and Dr. Susan Mortweet attempt to address the challenges facing modern parents. Their goal is not to help parents create obedient children. Instead, Christophersen and Mortweet focus on helping parents shape children into successful adults. In order to do this, they focus on two elements: teaching skills
Such parent is expected to show higher degree of neglect and rejection. Research conducted by Jackson et al. (1997) have shown that parenting styles that are not balanced are expected to enhance the chances of alcoholism in the child. Where authoritative style of parenting is highly balanced, it not only fulfills the needs of a child but also exerts the demand for the right behavior in a positive manner. The
The research of Wofendale (1991) demonstrated the effectiveness of parents who provided support for the learning process of their child and holds that involvement in schools by parents is likely the primary indicator of performance of the child in school. The Michigan Department of Education reports that the "most consistent predictors of children's academic achievement and social adjustment are parent expectations of the child's academic attainment and satisfaction with
There are many of these individuals, and it is time that this is changed. Parents often look away from these kinds of problems, or they spend their time in denial of the issue because they feel that their child will not be harmed by parental involvement with drugs or alcohol. Some parents have parents that were/are addicts themselves, and some are so busy with their lives that they do not
The ultimate goal is to increase student achievement by improving the hiring process by adding another layer of screening, namely teacher efficacy. The following aims will support the ability to achieve these goals. Aim 1: To evaluate the association between full and part time faculty regarding the characteristic of teacher efficacy. Hypothesis One: Part-time teachers sampled will report statistically lower teacher efficacy scores than will sampled full time faculty in business
The Teacher and Principal Relationship with the Principal as Leader Research indicate that the primary role of the principal is that of the school "leader." The decision a principal makes concerning the issue of instructional leadership and the extent to which that principal develops the skills needed to exercise appropriate instructional leadership will influence what does or does not happen in classrooms throughout the country. Marks and Printy (2003) agree that the importance of the instructional leadership
