Question 13 of 40

If you could develop your knowledge in any area of childhood education, which topic would you choose?

"I believe that professional development is vital in any profession; however, it's especially critical while working in an education-based environment. If I could develop my knowledge in any child education-related topic, I would learn more about child psychoeducational assessments. I find it fascinating when I read about the different approaches children take when it comes to tackling academic tasks. I believe that an interactive and flexible learning environment is essential for building a foundation of trust and interest in early learners. I wholeheartedly stand by the standardized measures the public school system has put into place when it comes to assessing intellectual function, academic achievement, social function, and also emotional function. I believe the stronger my knowledge in psychoeducational assessments, the more impact I can have on our gifted students and our students who need added assistance."
