When it comes to childcare and early childhood programs, parents want to know that their child is in good hands. Not just that, but educators want to know that they program they work for is operating effectively. Understanding possible problems in the education system can provide a wonderful opportunity for change.
Being able to practice and learn how to evaluate a course or program is an important tool. Critically disecting curriculum and program implemenation can help highlight possible shortcomings within a system. I'm excited that in this course, I'll explore how to shrewdly look for errors and ways to fix them.
Possible questions would be:
How do you determine there is a problem in the program?
Where do you start when you begin to evaluate a program?
Is there a program evaluation tool that is the best?
What are some indicators that show there is a problem in the program?
Knowing how to pinpoint problems and carve out a path to correct it, can help me on my path to leadership in early childhood education. Someday, I want to be in administration and knowing how to read data, translate what it means, and establish rules and strategies to fix problems will be a must.
