Common Core Standard(s)

The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) provides the professional standards required in teaching the early childhood segment (Olmore, 2020). The need for professional early childhood educators is important for them to realize their vision for their student’s educational foundation and upbringing. As mentioned earlier, the core skill set of an early childhood educator is emotional intelligence, where adaptability and creativity are required to deal with children from birth to the age of eight.
According to the NAEYC, an early childhood educator should be aligned with five core competencies of professionalism (Olmore, 2020). The first competency is to utilize their knowledge of childhood development and learning to develop an inclusive and compassionate environment for learning. Then, the early childhood educator is meant to engage with the student’s families harmoniously to nurture connections. Another competency involves observation, documentation, and the assessment of each child’s development curve and learning (Bass, 2019). The fourth competency involves the skill of teaching for the enhancement of the student’s learning development. Finally, the early childhood educator is required to have an understanding of the content areas for the development of a suitable curriculum that can meet objectives for the students, their families, and the whole school ecosystem (Bass, 2019). Therefore, an early childhood educator should exhibit high moral and ethical standards to properly perform tasks and duties.
