Theoretical Foundations

The grade I would like to teach is kindergarten, so my blog is going to be about my kindergarten teacher. I believe my teacher was a behaviorism teacher. She would always encourage the class and tell us to never give up and to always be positive no matter what the situation was. She would also always make sure she was setting a good behavior example to all the children. The classroom she taught in was very colorful and had signs that had behavior expectations on them. Since we were new to school it was often very stressful, with leaving your parents for the first time and all of the new children being with you everyday. I think I would use this theory in my classroom because it is always reminding the children to stay positive and never give up. Telling that to kindergarten children encourages them to do their best work. My classroom would have color in it and I would demonstrate good behavior through all the students.

  1. I want to do a level in the early childhood department and i chose the behaviorism theory as well. I agree that it is the best way to teach young children. Good choice.
