1. What three lessons were most helpful for you to see, and why?
Three lessons that were the most helpful for me to see were Teaching Kindergarden, Teaching Elementary, and Early Childhood Development. They were the most helpful because they all have one thing in common, which is young children. For my potential topic I'd like to work with kids in day care and observe and learn about their early childhood development and behaviors. Learning about these different topics showed me what to look out for in my mentorship and what to look forward to in my topic.
2. List one thing that you learned about the senior project in interviews that will help you get off to a good start?
One thing that I learned about the senior project interviews that I think will really help me off to a good start is prioritizing. Having a set schedule and following through with it will be really helpful and a huge stress-reliever to avoid any procrastination.
3. What topic(s) are you considering, and why?
A topic that I have been considering since second semester in my Junior year is Child Development or Day Care Teaching. I'm not sure what it will fall under but I really enjoy working with kids and learning something new about them and their behavior.
4. What EQ do you think might be interesting to consider in guiding a project like this? (Please don't worry about any sort of formula...we want this question to come from your genuine interest).
An EQ that might be interesting to consider is, "What is the best teaching method to consider when working with kids under the age of 5?"
5. What are some ideas you have about finding summer mentorship?
I have actually already found my summer mentorship at Montessori School and Day Care. My mentor is a teacher that works with 2 and 3 year olds. I found out about the day care because my sister babysits for a lady whose mother is the owner of that Montessori School and Day Care. As we became close to the kid and his family, his mother and I talked about iPoly and what I was doing and she offered that I volunteer and go there for my mentorship.
