NAEYC Standards
The National Association for the Education of Young Children emphasizes the importance of early childhood educators possessing a core body of knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes to effectively support the development, learning, and well-being of all young children (NAEYC, 2019).
The following academic work aligns with the seven standards and competencies of NAEYC, serving as a testament to my understanding and experience in the field of child development:
Academic Work + NAEYC Standards
Standard 1: Promoting Child Development and Learning in Context
This literature review was selected for the fulfillment of this standard as it demonstrates my ability to critically evaluate the impact of technology on child learning across time and amidst various contexts - both at home and in the classroom. This paper acknowledges the crucial role of positive development during formative years, as well as cross-cultural variations that may impact attachment and caregiving practices.
I designed a comprehensive, mixed methods research study aimed at promoting enrichment and positive development in African American communities. This project fulfills this standard by enabling me to delve deeper into the structural inequities faced in many children and families in low-income, marginalized areas.
