Week 8 Blog-Putting it All Together
This week’s reading wraps up
everything that we have learned about life span development. We read about how we put all that we learned
into use. But before we put into
practice what we learned we need to understand not one theory can expound on
every aspect of life development. I
totally agree with that statement because I have found that I have connected
with different theories at different stages.
I found the section about the field of lifespan development. Before taking this class I would not have realize
that lifespan development would have as many careers as there actually
are. Especially when considering the
business sector which is where I came from.
The subject of stakeholders is very
important with my future as a teacher. The
student is definitely the stakeholder when it comes to a teacher and
school. Students are affected by how a
teacher performs in a class and how a school provides curriculum. It talks about how the relationship between
stakeholders and the environment. This
is so true in education. Each student is
different because he or she comes from a different home life and or
culture. That can make teaching a little
more difficult because it can affect how each student learns. The new growth of lifespan development has
proven to bring up some concerns in the education sector and it has to do with curriculum
that meet state and national standards.
Of course to meet these standards are based from standard testing. The issue with this is teachers are teaching
for the tests, not what the individual child enjoys.
I
enjoyed the section about the financial and emotional compensation when it
comes to lifespan development. A lot of
these careers are becoming a higher paying then in the past, but some are still
lacking. I however feel that if a person
really loves his or her job
