Overview:
Just like children in a learning program, educators have a personal routine and schedule.
Think about your daily routine by reflecting on these questions:
- What do you do each day, and when do you do it?
- Which aspects of our schedule and routine are driven by you? Which aspects are driven by others (example: a job, family obligations, etc.)?
- How do you feel throughout your schedule? For example, when are you most at ease? Most rushed?
Instructions:
In your initial post:
- Describe one aspect of your daily routine and share how this aspect makes you feel and why.
- For example, you might describe your morning routine and share how this routine/schedule makes you feel.
- Next, share a schedule or routine that could have a similar emotional impact on children.
- For example, if your schedule’s described aspect makes you feel rushed, describe a routine/schedule within the learning program that a child might experience that makes them feel rushed.
In your reply post:
- Reflect on the connection between the emotion and the routine.
- Identify one aspect of your peers routine and the childs routine that you think might be triggering this emotion and how.
- Offer one possible suggestion to enhance or modify the routine.
