你知道吗

“把所有的心思都集中在手头的工作上。太阳光在聚焦前不会燃烧。”-亚历山大·格雷厄姆·贝尔

在我们的日常生活中，我们都会做一些事情，扮演一些角色，或者参与一些需要管理技能的经历。考虑一下你或你所爱的人在日常生活中所从事的各种不同的活动，这些活动反映了对某种经验或事件的管理。这些可以包括决定你需要为一份食谱收集什么原料，计划去杂货店的旅行，管理繁忙的家庭日程，计划假期或家庭聚会。花点时间想想你日常生活中想到的一些涉及到某种管理的事情。

Now, think about what enables you to do these things well. Is it the fact that you plan ahead? Or the fact that you write down a set of steps or tasks that you need to follow? Is it perhaps that you work with others to get what you need done? Or that you take into consideration what is meaningful for the situation you are in? All of your descriptions and thoughts offer a window into your sense of management.

Consider the following definitions that the Merriam-Webster Dictionaries website provides about management: "the act or process of deciding how to use something," "the act or skill of controlling and making decisions about a business, department, sports team, etc.," "the people who make decisions about a business, department, sports team, etc.," and "judicious use of means to accomplish an end." How do these definitions compare to your own definitions or ideas about management?

在本课程中，您将了解项目管理对幼儿专业人士的意义，以及您可以承担的有助于提高项目整体质量的角色和责任。课程管理包括多种任务：建立和维护与婴儿、幼儿及其家庭的关系，与他人合作，规划和实施课程，评估课程质量。本课程为婴幼儿专业人士提供了计划管理的一般概述。

程序管理对婴儿幼儿提供者的意思是什么？

As an infant and toddler care provider, you may not see yourself as a manager. Your program probably has a manager or director who engages in management tasks like hiring, scheduling, managing budgets, ordering materials and equipment, or providing needed support to staff. Nevertheless, you and your fellow infant-toddler care providers are also managers as you assume significant roles that impact those in your care and at the same time contribute to program quality. For example, you manage the day-to-day planning of experiences and activities that meet the needs of each infant or toddler in your group, as well as the planning of meaningful and intellectually stimulating environments that promote learning and growth. You initiate and manage the development of relationships between yourself and children, families, and coworkers in your program. And you manage infants' and toddlers' development by assessing their progress and making decisions that help promote and facilitate that development. With the guidance of Training and Curriculum specialists, program directors, or other mentors, you should strive to ensure high-quality developmentally appropriate practices that support positive experiences for all infants, toddlers, and their families in your care. When doing that, you also contribute to your classroom and program's success and growth.

在您的日常工作中，您的最大承诺应该是努力为婴儿，幼儿及其家人创造最佳经验。您对幼儿的发展中具有重要作用，您与儿童及其家庭的日常遭遇留下了持久的印象。婴儿和幼儿的增长随着时间的推移而发生，每次体验都会影响发展。谁是与他们在生活中早期的经历变得有关的一切，包括他们在照顾时的经历。在他们的家庭之外，您可能是在这些危急的发展中度过最多时间的人。当幼儿与争取最佳和坚持高质量专业标准的成年人有意义的互动时，加强了最佳发展。请记住，在为服务婴儿，幼儿及其家人提供服务时，您的言行应反映您的计划的使命。

想想你在日常工作中的一些经历，比如：

• 与婴儿、幼儿及其家人互动
• Planning and implementing experiences and activities
• 与主管和经理互动
• 与同事合作
• Interacting with community partners
• 反思你的进步，为项目的成功和质量做出贡献

建立和维护高质量的做法对于您每天完成的每项任务至关重要。当您遇到新的情况时，此过程继续发展和发展，因为您变得更加经验。本课程将帮助您了解您对这些做法的自身管理如何促进婴儿，幼儿和家庭的增长和发展，从而又有助于整体计划质量。

基于关系的护理

项目管理意味着所有的成员茶m have specific roles and responsibilities within the program. It is important to build relationships with fellow staff members, T&Cs, and managers, so that there is an underlying basis of trust. Your relationships with your T&C or program manager are critical for your own professional growth and within these relationships you can receive advice and constructive feedback about your practice and guidance and support when you have difficulties. Building strong relationships with your T&C and program manager also facilitates the support you can provide children and families. When there is open and honest communication, you can easily strategize together the best ways to support children and families, especially when children and families face challenges. You also recognize that you, your T&C, and program manager have different roles and responsibilities in working together to support children and families, but that you complement each other’s efforts, and you value and recognize what each person brings to the team. You will learn more about working with others in upcoming lessons.

建立和培养人际关系应该是你与婴儿、幼儿、家庭、同事和项目主管实践的核心。当你与婴儿、学步儿童和他们的家庭建立温暖、信任的关系时，你为健康发展奠定了基础。你花时间去了解你所照顾的每个家庭和孩子，在课堂上尊重和融入他们的风俗和文化，在计划活动和体验时邀请他们的意见，以此来建立这种信任。

沿着同一条线，当您与同事，T＆CS或Program Manager建立信任的专业关系时，您可以为自己的专业成长和发展设置舞台。Just as you focus on children’s strengths and talents, you should work with your T&C to strengthen and nurture your own strengths and talents that will enable you to be the best you can be and to provide high-quality professional care that also contributes to your program’s quality. Part of relationship-based care in your professional relationships is being able to ask for assistance, and being prepared to accept the guidance of your T&C or program manager.

Culturally and Linguistically Sensitive Practices

As an infant-toddler provider, you are likely to encounter children, families, and coworkers from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences. As a manager of your classroom, it is important for you to understand the significance of always striving for high-quality practices while at the same time acknowledging diversity and individual differences. For example, a family member may not share the same values as you when it comes to topics such as sleeping, toilet training, or eating independently. In your daily practice, you will need to be able to create welcoming, nurturing environments and provide infants, toddlers, and their families with culturally and developmentally sensitive care that will lay the foundation for their success. This success will also pave the way for your own classroom success and ultimately the quality of your program.

As a dedicated provider, you will need to work with your fellow infant-toddler providers, T&Cs, and managers to learn about the cultural and linguistic practices of the children and families in your care and to access resources to assist you in working with culturally and linguistically diverse families. There are a variety of books, articles, DVDs, and webinars that address cultural and linguistically sensitive practices with children and families. Being sensitive to cultural practices and language differences demonstrates an openness to learning about an individual’s knowledge and beliefs. It is always best to ask questions rather than assume or do nothing, and your T&C can help facilitate that process.
