BIO |
|
My name is Deirdre Christiansen and I am an Early Childhood Development major. I completed my Associates degree in Social and Behavioral Studies at Riverside Community College and transferred to Cal Poly Pomona in 2019. When I first started my college journey, my original goal was to graduate in Zoology and devote my life to bettering the lives of animals. After taking some time to reevaluate my goals, I realized that bettering the lives of children was were my heart truly belonged. | |
Teaching Philosophy |
|
My goal is to foster and nourish the minds of at-risk children who do not have a support system at home. I aim to build children’s self-confidence, trust, creativity, autonomy and acceptance of individual differences. I will value a child’s play as a priority in their development because I believe children learn through their experiences during play. I will provide opportunities for children to explore, discover, create and imagine. I will be a role model and set examples that the children can follow. Lastly, I will set up the environment to be open and welcoming so children can express their emotions and feel safe. |
