This week I chose to focus on Option 2. The topic that I would chose to focus on in the early childhood field with doing only research on the present would be the idea of play. Play is very important, especially in the early childhood field. There are several positive contributions that would occur doing research on play in the present time.
One of the most important positive contributions would be to develop a child's well-being. This means that allowing children to play will develop their: social-economic development, psychical development, mental development and several others.
Another positive contributions would relate to the children and the student. The teacher would have the chance to watch the students play and would learn about the child, just by learning. Not only would the relationship between the student and the teacher grow, but the relationship between the parents and the child would become stronger.
The last positive contribution would be to learning about how each of the children learn. Each child may like to play with different toys, and this is targeting a specific area of development. All-in-all, it is important to allow children in the early childhood field to have time throughout school to play and learn on their own.

My Personal Resource Journey
Hello fellow colleagues!
I chose to focus on is the importance of research. I chose this topic for many different reasons. In the education field, there are always laws that are changing and new standards that are always being changed. Different states have different laws, which conducting research is important to maintain this knowledge. Especially the state that you are teaching in, it is important to know the different laws and content that needs to be covered. The last reason I chose this topic is because with research, you are constantly learning. It is important to always continue to learn, no matter the field.
I have several personal experiences related to the importance of research. I lived my whole life in Michigan, except for the last week. I moved to Arizona a week ago for a teaching job. When I was in college, a lot of the schools in the United States were following the GLCE's for elementary school teachers. Now every state is following the Common Core State Standards. Each state has their own Common Core State Standards, also each grade has their own Common Core State Standards. Living in Michigan, I have always done research on the GLCE's and Common Core State Standards in the grade that I was teaching/subbing in. Now that I will be living and teaching in Arizona, it is important that I conduct the research appropriate to know the standards for 3rd grade in Arizona. It is also important for me to research different laws in Arizona, so I make sure I follow all of the laws.
The one thing that I learned from the research chart was learning about the different techniques that are used for research. I found defining the words in part one of the research chart very informative.
One thing that I would suggest for my colleagues is no matter the state that your living in, make sure to do research on all of the laws in the state that you are living in. You may not think that these laws may affect you, but they will in time. Are there any suggestions anyone can give me for what to conduct research on or what I should research to help me in teaching in Arizona? One of the most important object to research is the Common Core State Standards in the state and grade that you are or will be teaching in!
