Statement of Purpose This developmental portfolio is a record of my work in becoming a teacher. It begins with my work at Sandhills Community College for my Associate's degree. This portfolio demonstrates my abilities in observing children and recording their behavior objectively, understanding child development and how to develop hands-on activities that help children learn.
My portfolio has evidence of lesson plans I have created and my abilities developing an integrated unit. It also provides evidence of my understanding of learning centers and room arrangement through my room designs, and my work adopting a play area and redesigning its materials. You will learn through this portfolio that I am involved in the National Association for the Education of Young Children's local chapter, and have achieved certificates in First Aid, Child Abuse and Neglect, and Violence Prevention.
