Support Parents In Their Parenting Role

Monday July 27, 2020

Hello Trainees

As we revise this new unit of study I trust that you will recall what you have learnt and contribute to the discussions posted.

Parents are vital to our role as educators. Without parents there will be no children for us to educate.
Many parents will have alot of experience as they may have more than one children and have gained a wealth of experience, or have read parental documents or have taken parental classes.  However, some parents have limited parental skills and experience and will need some support.

Respond to these questions by commenting below.
Use information obtained from discussion call to respond. 

1. Why is it important for us as educators to offer support to parent?

2. What are two (2) ways that we can support parents?

Curriculum Development In Jamaica.

Introduction

According to the Jamaican Curriculum Guide for Children 4 to Five years, the fist written Jamaican pre-school curriculum for children four to six years old was completed in 1973 through the Project for Early Childhood Education (PECE), directed by Mr. D.R.B. Grant and funded by the Bernard van Leer Foundation. 

The “PECE Curriculum Manual”, as it was called, was a very detailed instructional guide comprising 24 volumes totaling 4,988 pages. It provided a step-by-step approach for presenting content from traditional subject areas. The detailed format was necessary as the majority of para-professional teachers in the basic schools then, were inexperienced and lacked in-depth knowledge of essential child development and education principles and practices. The manual served as a guide in the fortnightly workshops presented by a core of teacher trainers to develop the teaching skills of the para-professional teachers.

Use the Comment Section to respond to the following question. 

How would you feel if the early childhood education department in Jamaica should revert/go back to the PECE Curriculum Manual?
