Sometimes teachers don't want to change things, like the fundamental concepts of children learning through play or the need for active, hands-on learning, but why not explore better ways to make active learning happen? Imagine that today medical professionals simply accepted the health care standards of 30 years ago, that the stuff they did 30 years ago was good enough. One wouldn't have any laparoscopic surgery or cancer medications or more effective anesthesia. Think about how that might affect one's self or someone else. That's what teachers have to do as early childhood professionals, keep goal of caring for and educating young children while finding ways to do that better, and that means change is essential. A self-assessment to determine one's attitude toward change is included.
