Professional Practice (7)
To achieve this in my practice my interactions with children demonstrate general warmth, caring and respect. I also make sure that students interactions with each other are generally respectful and considerate for example discouraging inappropriate behaviour like biting, pulling hair, pushing each other and snatching toys from each other.

Reflection

Professional Relationships (17)

In this reflection I was reflecting on my teaching with a view to improvement.I discovered that though I had worked with children before I had a lot to learn with the toddlers and also in my practice. I am a teacher but I am learning a lot of things from these toddlers which is also helping me to improve on my practice and also work on my relationships with them (relationships are important as they are the foundation on which learning is based on, from the children themselves to the whole community which includes other team members, families and whanau) and it all begins with communication. I talk to parents when they come to pick/drop their children.This helps me to get to know them, their culture and also their expectations as far as their children are concerned.Communication also helps me to develop professionally as I share ideas with other members of staff. This communication helps me to contribute to the life of the learning centre because I will be learning new things implementing them and also sharing what I know with the team members, whanau and families as well as other caregivers.

Above all in developing relationships I should maintain confidentiality, trust and respect in whatever I do / say as a teacher who is serving the community and also the country Aotearoa of New Zealand. As I reflect on my teaching and practice so far, I have put every effort I could to maintain these.
