ECE Careers and Dispositions
Wadlington and Wadlington (as cited in Estes & Krogh, 2012) explain, "Because of the strong connection between dispositions and teaching styles, it is desirable for individuals in the midst of becoming teachers to reflect and develop self-awareness of their own dispositions (p. 33). That reflection is the goal of this discussion.
Once you are prepared, use the My Dispositions Target from your text to organize and record the initial analysis of your dispositions. This document should be placed as an attachment to your discussion response. To include the document as an attachment, locate the attachment feature in the bottom left-hand corner of the discussion response box.
In your response:
Describe which of these dispositions you already exhibit on a regular basis.
Based on the discussion of career options, identify at least two possible careers that interest you and that are a "good fit" based on your personal disposition reflection. Explain why you would be a good fit for both of your chosen careers.
Discuss which dispositions are still emerging for you and how will you plan to develop them for both of your possible future career choices.
