5. Competency Standard #5- To ensure a well-run, purposeful program that is responsive
to participant needs
a. Functional Area #12- Program Management
i. One of my goals in the functional area of program management is to
make sure that I support the learning and development of the children in
my care through proper observation, planning, and documentation and by
exercising my communication and organizational skills to allow for the
best and most beneficial learning environment. This is an important goal
for the age group of children in my care because they are still young and
they need a lot of structure in order to function at their best and so that
they don’t get overwhelmed and act out since they are still learning to
control their actions and emotions and don’t know what to do when things
are organized and there is no clear plan for them. One of the ways I do this
is by making sure that all necessary documentation is present and up to
date in their folders and by keeping organized lesson plans that the
children and I can follow throughout the day to ensure they are learning as
much but as best as they can while having fun doing it.
