Norming


Norming phrase has been a difficult task from my experience working in early childhood. When individuals are thinking about themselves rather than working together as a team to create core values that impact the children's visions and understanding.

In my opinion, the norm should be an opportunity where individuals pick up one another with encouraging words at the feedback that's appropriate. Listen and learn from one another viewpoint rather than criticizing and put-downs.

Moving forward, Norm any particular setting should be building Trust, relying on one of that feedback, and an opportunity for individuals to promote new ideas and suggestions in the field of early childhood.

Personally, when delegating a group or individual of information regarding early childhood, we (the groups) must understand the core values of the program along with norms of learning from one other.

As we adjourn from the journey at Walden University it is my duty to stay in contact but follow colleagues. I will look back on this journey of where we started and when we are done or at the finish line while earning a master's degree. Each of our colleagues has left the imprint on our blogging posting that can be evidence of the journey of Who We Are at the moment, and Who Are We going to impact in the future.

Nonviolent communication a conflict management

In the work environment, it is hard for colleagues and staff members to agree on everything; disagreement is okay. Educators must be mindful of the 3 R's wasn't sure strategies of work environments and other outcomes conflict management. 

My current position as an instructional aide is to develop lesson plans and strategy for peer mediation. Allowing students to overcome other students problem by active listening and using iMessage or I heard you say this point of view. I have counseled with students and staff members regarding lack of communication in the work environment. When counseling students and staff members, it's important to have an open mindset approach, ensuring positive solutions and outcomes. Applying a win-win solution that both parties can understand and reasoning with one another's opinion or viewpoint. When using the 3 R's just as respecting, the individual opinion (students or staff members) sometimes agreeing or disagreeing with be the first step of dealing with conflict management. I also benefit from learning about the principles of NVC; of being mindful of the situation. Being mindful of the situation in addressing the fact from fiction approach was helpful.

Both parties (students and staff members) address the important decency behavior of overreacting and not reflecting on the outcome or outburst effect on others.
