junior early elementary and special
education pre-service teacher at arcadia
university I’m nearing the end of my
certification track with extremely eager
to give my career a spectator I’m role
eccentric either you have at a very
early age give a very early age start to
my facebook bedroom with internet jobs
for students with the Stars the helpful
principle nice to say are nearly as
quiet as they were when I was growing up
I perceived the opportunity to listen
and learn from them if you’re out the
challenges to the kids in today’s
society or Faison well it’s high priests
and teachers classroom I’m great I
roomful second graders or eager to
listen and learn about the world around
them I love walk into the classroom and
see in their smiling faces they learn
I’ve spent the day with them I
appreciate their one pulse with I at the
end of the day to me being a teacher is
more than just because you’re students
meet state standards it’s about
educating the whole student academically
and holistically there for one thing
idea involves fostering positive
self-concept of an early age to help
educate the whole student as a
compliment and a teacher I’ve got the
struggles of negative body image begin a
very early age starting with the
messages that children in today’s
society are faced with social media
advertisements peers family and friends
they all effective a good students
get out and talk to themselves so an
earlier message that children receive is
that there are false messages of
perfection in today’s society some of
these issues makes you to think about
that they are not valued that physical
features are more important for it this
than personal characteristics a small
tank goes will pitchers have big ears in
children here and remember a lot when we
think according to be that just national
industry association for eighty percent
of throws to third graders which they
were thinner and any one percent of ten
girl girls are afraid of the impact
first grade the time and children should
be learning about the world around them
making friends and join their initial
school experiences however they are
faced with these challenges one type my
2nd grade question I walked in a little
girl came up to me with their lunch box
look a lil upset she came up to me open
up consent mistakes ate everything in my
lunchbox today and she’s a little bit
concerned about this at such an early
age she was already concerned with some
of these issues of negative body image
however I took this idea and I talked to
her try to have reinforced the concept
of positive body image and I said but
I’m gladly give everything your lunch
today because it is important to refuel
our bodies throughout the day was when
you’re working hard at school all day
need to make sure that you have the
adequate nutrition to take care of
yourself with this idea this side
conversation with a student might have
helped address some of these issues
however I think it needs to be
addressing a larger scale so therefore
my big idea
to create a particular program that
fosters positive body images and
self-concepts at an early age so that we
can help prevent students from going
down the dark Kip and development even
store there or prevent the idea of
negative body image my idea is a
curricular programs called from the
inside helping minds and bodies because
I want to focus on the both body and
mind through this program because some
peace issues such as healthy even
exercise nutrition self-concepts they’re
all tied together and multiple factors
chic the way that you think about and
talk to ourselves step forth through
this program students would walk into
the classroom through the structure and
weekly program time and there was a few
Acosta and then and both on the board
this week all calls for the idea of
positive mindset at the very dependent
of the lesson enter a message each child
will receive the individualized leather
from their teacher with a little note
just to remind them their values and
deserve love and respects how many of us
enjoyed just receiving old notes or
messages you can just help us to have a
great day bring lots of 60 home cares
they’re probably begin the lesson with
this so that children have the idea that
positive mindset and beginning of the
lesson next show to a transition into a
movement activity talk about learning
the importance of healthy exercise those
for some people it’s hard to bounce the
ideas over and under exercising their
for this program children have the
opportunity to learn by the intimate
activities exercise reduces energy and
increases endorphins which was tie back
to the idea of positive mindset antara
campinas activity and learning exercise
fun enjoyable children would discuss s
idea together focus on personal
characteristics rather than physical
features thinking about what they
learned about themselves through this
activity after an accident discussion it
would transition to a weekly less alone
respect respect for themselves to
respect their peers family and friends
realest lesson children would learn
strategies for coping with some of the
challenges that they’re faced with in
today’s society teaches still skills
such as journal and draw and Sharon
they’re all provide them with the outlet
and resource to process some of these
challenges and also develop their
emotional well-being through this
activity to the rest of their lives
after working through the lesson on
respect as a teacher I think it’s
important to make sure that all students
go home with food in their stomachs
because we don’t know what they’re
walking home to again to the day
therefore I’ll provide a healthy
snacking children to teach them the
importance of self-care and allow them
to develop these sales for the future
for themselves with this neck children
would learn healthy even skills and they
also have food in their stomachs before
they
the day just also reinforced the concept
of fuel near bodies after exercise but
they know they can take care of
themselves finally at the end to the
lesson children would transition into a
circle of positivity to try to link all
of these ideals together previous
activity children quits one positive
soft statement and one positive
statement to another to bring all this
together it would focus on personal
characteristics fighting them physical
features learn that they are valued and
respected other peers but also by
themselves with all these activities
together the children would end the
lesson seat in the class Metro I’m
strong I am valuable and I private
respects because I want to make sure
that all students feel this way when
they leave the classroom drew this my
big idea from the inside healthy minds
and bodies I believe that this makes all
these issues together throws holistic
standpoint to education because to me
being a teacher is more than just
educated academics it’s about making
sure that students to allow you gloves
and respective and have positive
self-concept through my field work
experience and Mike to change in the
collector won’t friday i’m eager to
share with you and now have the
opportunity to bring this into my
second-grade classroom i will be
teaching a lesson time in all these
concepts to help try it out and see its
effectiveness if your teacher now
evaluate it and try to figure out what i
can do
better the program and make sure that
students have healthy minds and bodies
so I want you all to picture the mind of
a young child distant multiple gets
Oracle children are open to new ideas
enjoy the learning experience however
through some of the research that I’ve
done I found that children are facing
some of these issues need to address
them on holistic level first graders
second grader servers all these children
it should be enjoying their initial
school and experiences and learning
about the world around them however when
eighty-one percent of our 10 girls are
free to the impact how can you believe
that they are focused on the learning
experience so therefore i encourage you
to help me educate children from the
inside because we want them all to have
healthy minds and bodies for many years
to come thank you [Applause]
