Erin Elliott

Teaching Portfolio

My name is Erin Elliott and I am twenty-one years old. I am currently in my third year at Oakland Community College for my associates in Early Childhood education. I am seven years into my career of working in the Early Childhood Education field. I first realized I wanted to for sure be a teacher my sophomore year of high school. When it comes to who has inspired me to get into the field one of my high school teachers Ms. Dent comes to mind, I worked in her preschool classroom at Athens High School as well as learning more about the career of teaching and about children's development. She was kind, patient and taught me so much information that I still use to this day.

This portfolio was made to show my progress as an educator, as well as what I believe in as an educator. When reading through this portfolio the audience will be able to see the different ways I have incorporated my beliefs into the way I teach, as well as get an idea of the ways I have grown as an educator through the different artifacts shown.

Child abuse and neglect mandated reporter statement: I understand that child abuse and neglect is against the law and it is my duty as an educator to be a mandated reporter and report whenever I suspect abuse or neglect to be taking place.

Statement of commitment: I commit to being an early childhood educator. I commit to helping children grow educationally, physically, emotionally, and socially. I also commit to upholding NAEYC’s code of ethics and my duty as a mandated reporter.

Ethical code statement: As an individual and educator I can realize and understand that I have a responsibility to uphold NAEYC’s code of ethics as well as my own. I also know I have the responsibility to hold my coworkers accountable if I see them failing to uphold the NAEYC’s code of ethics.
