Hi
I am writing a essay for my graduate program in early childhood education. I haven't wrote a essay in over 5 years.
Can someone please tell me how I should go about answering this question?
In what ways do you plan to make a contribution to the profession of early childhood education?
Greetings!
I think what they are really asking is how you visualize your career. How will you help the children you teach? What can you bring to the classroom that will be of benefit? Are you creative, resourceful, dedicated? Talk about what you would like to do with your degree once you have it. How do you plan to use it?
If you would like to try a rough draft and post it here, I'd be happy to help you with editing it.
Best of luck in your studies!
Thanks,

3. In what ways do you plan to make a contribution to the profession of early childhood education?
As a profession of early childhood education a plan to make a difference though committing to enhancing the education, development, and well-being of young children. I will educate others about the importance of well-rounded preschool and the long term benefits it can have on a child.

Personal Essay
What are your personal and professional goals in pursuing a Master's degree in early childhood education?
After obtaining a bachelors degree in marketing five years ago I never imagined myself going back to school and trying to pursue a master's degree in early childhood education. Every since I can think back to my childhood I have had so many great teachers. I have always value them not only as an educator but as a strong and compassionate individual. My interest in education began with my daughter, and spending a great amount of time as a parent volunteer in her classroom. In the classroom is where I developed a passion for working with kids, and helping them learn in a creative manner. I feel that children bring out the best in me. As a parent and educator I find myself not just a person who nurtures and cares for children, but someone who is excited to see children learn. I have taught my children how to be someone with good morals and ethics. I have helped them view education in most positive way. I strong believe that the early years of a child's life are crucial when it comes to education, and this is a time at which information can most effectively be absorbed. In order to ensure that our children the future of our society get the best education possible, it is vital that appropriately qualified, skilled, and knowledgeable educators are available to provide this knowledge and development.
Two factors have contributed to my decision to pursue my education at the graduate level. First, by attending graduate school, I would have the opportunity pursue a position as director or admistative coordinator at a preschool. In addition, I seek further education in order to refine and improve my level of knowledge and skills educating young children. I feel that graduate school will enable me to discuss and research contemporary issues that are of chief importance to an educator practicing in today's society.
2. How do you perceive the process of graduate study in early childhood education helping you attain your personal and professional goals?
The process of graduate study in early childhood education will strengthen my ability to lead as a director in quality programs in early childhood education. It will provide me with the tools and skills need to provide leadership and manage the day-to-day activities in schools, preschools, day care centers. Secondly, the process of graduate study will help me understand and perseve the importance of theories used in early childhood education. It will give me a chance to explore and apply those theories and practices used in a classroom setting. Third, the process of graduate study will help me gain knowledge so I can effectively conduct research studies pertaining to young children. Some studies which I am egger to conducted are studies concerning the long term benefits of children who attend preschool, how preschool can help in the development of children, and how teaching children though play can help children enjoy learnering. My personal benefits that I will gain from graduate study in early childhood education are, it will help me be able to understand and perceive social and cognitive development of my own children. It strengthen my relationship with my children and with children in general and, make it easier to perceive there way of thinking.
4. What are your expectations from the Master's program in Early Childhood Education at California State University, Long Beach?
First of all I think it would be not only an honor but a privilege for me to attend a graduate school that is so highly recognized professionally. My expectations from the Master's program in Early Childhood Education at CSULB are it will give me an opportunity to effectively communicate about theories and practices I have learned though out the program. It will give me a chance to conduct research and implement my research and incorporate that research into a preschool setting. It will broaden my understanding about the importance of cultural diversity in a classroom setting. It will give me a chance to further explore other areas which I can possible specialize in. The master's program will give me a chance to be a well recognized individual among peers and colleagues within my profession.
Greetings!
Try to come up with some more specific goals. When you are vague, it makes it sound as if you really don't know much about the field you want to specialize in. You might want to read some articles about issues in early childhood education--what is controversial in the field? what is cutting edge?--and include some information you have gained from your reading, to show that you are well-versed in this area.
Best of luck in your studies!

Early childhood education/ Aacademic goals with ECE
I am stuck on a question i havent wrote a essay in a loooong time lol.
How would i decribe my academic goals with ECE ?
thanks :)
Try to relate with your past experiences like jobs or internship. There must've been a reason why you chose that major specifically. Talk about that instance in depth. And in relation to that, tell them what your future goals are as detailed as possible, but still not exceeding word limits by a lot. That should give you a good start.
