Early Childhood EducationLast year, I had the opportunity to coach 3 kindergarten teachers with the integration of technological tools. Coming from a high school and adult learning background, I have a lot of respect for what those teachers do and always will. It is no easy task to have 30 children in a classroom. Even with 2 teachers, it takes a lot of energy, patience, and passion to accomplish what seems to me like a mission impossible. Although, each child on their own seems to be adorable it is the large group, and the need for constant divided attention that truly impressed me. While one child block the toilet, one’s nose bled, another cried, another wanted a toy, another wanted to show a drawing, etc. These superhero teachers did it all. By magic, the toilet was fixed, the nose and tears were wiped clean, the kids were smiling and it was the end of the first period. References: Orey, M. (2010).
