Assignment:
Becoming comfortable with authority is one of the first issues that any prospective educator faces. Think about a teacher you liked and a teacher you didn't like. Support your responses.
1. How did each exercise authority or power?
2. Did he or she win your respect and gain your cooperation? If so, how? Why or why not?
3. How did this influence what you learned and who you are today?
4. How might this situation influence your guidance in an early childcare setting?
5. Were parents involved in the situation?
