When researching for Education-Related Issues in this case, issues of the early childhood classroom, which are lack of time for planning, parent engagement and program standards. However, each of this issue act as a general topic thus breaking each topic into categories by asking questions like why, who, when, what, where and how (Bakken, L. et al, 2017). The next step is generating specific ideas to narrow down the topic by considering the problems faced, problem overcome, individuals responsible, causes of the problem and relevant issues. Finally, the location-environment type- and timeframe this will help in deciding on how current the information used must be. Example; Lack of planning time- the questions in this are what can be done to overcome this obstacle and how to implement the outcome. Problem faced are teachers have too many administrative duties, which detract them from thinking about, planning curriculum and instruction. How to overcome these issues is by teachers collaborating with one another when planning projects. In this case, the group responsible are the teachers who are responsible for poor planning of time and this happens in the learning institutions.

Parent engagement is another issue, furthermore teachers rely on families especially parents to learn more about the children. The problem in this issue is disengagement of the some of the parent, which can lead to student failure and can create a generation of less well-educated individuals. Moreover, effective parent involvement barriers are family and parent barrier, societal factor, child factor and parent- teacher factors (Hakyemez-Paul, S. et al, 2028). Illiterate parents, parent not considering education as important and lack of interest on school or child’s education can cause this problem. Improving parent’s engagement through online sharing of inform or ideas by teachers and parents also home visiting and parents and teachers conferences can help overcome the problem.

All the problems discovered had one key point; in the first issue was lack of planning time. In this issue, the problem was time. Teachers have a very busy schedule due to many administrative duties and conflicting schedules that they lack time for planning various schedules. The key information about this problem is that lack of time to plan lack of individual time, collaborative planning time and administrative duties. In parent engagement issue the problems is the barrier. In this problem, key information discovered is that barriers play a major role in lack of parental involvement in early childhood classroom. Finally, program standard issue, assumptions, program standard- based reform is made around a specific set of assumptions about curriculum and instruction. This problem shows how program standard documents do not provide full scope and sequence required for curriculum.

The issues of the early childhood classroom in the Education field have several problems, which are lack of time, barriers and assumptions (Bakken, L. et al, 2017). It is necessary to for teachers to collaborate with each other when planning projects that is through creating time to read other teachers post and respond and perhaps creating annual schedule, which allows sufficient planning time in between different projects. However, by providing breaks, which provides teachers the time to plan well. Another problem is barrier, which can led to student’s failure hence school poor performance. Barriers can be avoided by building and maintaining a welcoming school environment, regularly informing parents about students’ progress and informing them about school requirement and events. Lastly, assumption problem, this applies on program standards reform which focus on big idea instead of specifies. This can be solved by understanding of childhood education outcomes, curriculum and instruction that are currently characterize by children education.

Discussion: Leaders and Stakeholders’ Perspectives

Assignment:

To prepare for Part 2 of the Discussion, reflect on the problem statements you discussed in the Module 4 Discussion and select one problem statement to address for this part of the Discussion. Think about the key stakeholders in relation to your problem statement and consider why these stakeholders are relevant to the problem. What questions, related to the problem, might you ask these key stakeholders?

In determining key stakeholders, you might ask yourself:

· Who will I need to obtain approval from in order to explore this problem?

· As it pertains to stakeholders, what are the risks and benefits of exploring this problem?

· Who will I need to involve as participants in exploring this problem?

· How will the possible outcomes of exploring this problem impact the stakeholders positively and/or negatively?

Write a 1 page post the key stakeholders related to your selected problem statement with an explanation as to why these stakeholders are relevant to the problem. Then, identify at least four questions about the problem to which you would like stakeholders to respond. Finally, explain why the responses may be important to understanding and/or addressing the problem. Include intext citations an include references.
