Pre Kindergarten Teacher - Fulton County School
“The Birth through Five programs prepare professionals to work in various settings with diverse families and children who develop typically and atypical. The program also introduces you to state and national policies and standards...
As a developing teacher or professional you learn more about ensuring that you are carrying out proper guidelines while ensuring children are developing at their own pace in a safe and comfortable and fun classroom environment. Now, I am an early childhood education professional furthering my education by focusing on a Master’s in social foundations of education. I have the opportunity to explore various disciplines from a historical to contemporary timeline to understand the importance of transforming policies and procedures focusing on early childhood education. I am also receiving more practice by working as a research assistant and program evaluator for young children in preschool and pre-k classrooms.”
Project Director - GSU SEED Program
“I learned how to work with children with special needs. I had hands on experience and internships that prepared me work with and understand students from various backgrounds. I also garnered skills in becoming more aware while observing and assessing students and how to share pertinent information with families.”
GRA for the Urban Child Study Center - Georgia State University
“We learned skills to work with all children from infants to kindergarten. We were given ample real life experiences from pre-planning to creating lesson plans to assessment to building relationships...
to working with children with special needs and so much more. We were always and still are well-supported with anything we need to help us become the best educator possible.”
