Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
Ethic of social reform: early childhood education as trying to improve childrens health and well-being; early education including social welfare and family support; mention of Montessori, McMillan sisters, Mill, Eliot, Head Start, anti-bias, and/or Edelman; may include current inequities and need for social justice
Importance of childhood: may mention the historical emergence of childhood as a unique stage of life, adults taking responsibility for childrens welfare, children learning and needing experiences in special ways
Transmitting values: values as the essence of education in history; may connect works of Montessori, Dewey, and Steiner with certain values; anti-bias curriculum and a need to honor diversity while forming a cohesive culture
Professionalism:
Sense of identity: look for teacher as caregiver, as educator, as part of a larger focus on developing children; look for holistic view
Purpose for DAP: look for the description as having three parts: knowledge of child development/children as a group; understanding the children as individuals; respecting the social and cultural contexts of the children and families
Commitment: look for keeping childrens best interests as a priority; keeping confidentiality; upholding a code of ethics; honoring diversity
Legitimate work: look for comments about worthy wages, work conditions that are sustainable, teaching as more than baby-sitting

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
Student answer will vary based on the center chosen. Look for major historical figures such as Comenius, Pestalozzi, Froebel, and Rousseau, or more current philosophies such as Montessori or Reggio Emilia.
