Reflective Journal: Leadership, Professional Knowledge and
Ethical Practice
An important part of being an educator is reflection. Reflection
is a learning process through which you use your experiences and
knowledge to guide you in the future. Each week you will have the
opportunity to use your journal to reflect on the content you have
learned in this course and throughout your degree program.
Specifically, you will reflect on the connections you see between
each case study and two to three topics from the Program
Comprehensive Exam.
This week we will be focusing on leadership, professional
knowledge and ethical practice. There are many elements in
education that receive attention due to the controversies
surrounding them (kindergarten readiness, play in preschool,
curriculum approaches, technology in education, and universal
pre-k). As a reflective practitioner, it is important to consider
both sides and then form your beliefs using your knowledge and
experiences.
Take a few minutes to think about how the case study addresses
these topics. The questions below may spark some ideas regarding
leadership, professional knowledge and ethical practice. You do not
need to address all the questions; instead, write down your
thoughts as they unfold.
Reflect on the following in your journal: •What is one prevalent
issue in early childhood education today? Explain both sides of the
debate regarding this issue.
•What connections do you see between leadership, ethical
practices, and professional knowledge regarding this debate?
•How do you envision this issue impacting your future work with
children?
•Reflecting on the content presented in the case study, what are
some areas where Mrs. Ashland faces adversity and must overcome
challenges to meet the needs of her students and families? If you
were facing similar challenges, how might you plan and proceed?
Explain your thinking using justification, supporting details and
critical thinking
