Please write the journals in a Word document using APA format. Provide a 3-4 page response (i.e., double-spaced, plus title page and references). You may wish to talk about your, ‘learning edge’ or the point at which you become less comfortable with the idea of working with Indigenous children and communities. What do you know now, and what do you want to learn?
Journals allow the instructor to witness the learning and thought process of each student. Some of the course materials and historical information may be difficult to process and students may need support and instructor feedback from time to time. It would be ideal to keep a journal notes every week or each time you review course material and reflect on this course: “Supporting Indigenous Infants and Young Children within the Context of Their Communities” and what this means to you now, during and near the end of the course.
Students are asked to submit two personal Journals documenting their learning and authentic reflections per week in the 5 week summary. In addition, students are encouraged to document the struggles, interests, curiosities and other ideas experienced throughout the course. Journal writings should document the student’s learning, areas of struggle, challenges, interests and/or passions. You may want to consider including personal reactions or responses to some of the course content and reading or resource material. Considering the following questions:
What reactions do you experience in your body? In your mind?
What helps you to explore these topics in greater depth and integrate the material into your existing repertoire of knowledge?
It may be helpful to acknowledge your, ‘working edge’ at the start of your Journal writing. A ‘working edge’ is the point where you become less comfortable with your knowledge of working with Indigenous families in an early childhood educational context. When you identify your working edge, ask yourself the following questions:
What areas would you like to or do you need to know more about?
Who or what could support you in this learning?
