1. Identify 2 programs that can support your success at BMCC.
Answer: -Student support services (Early Childhood Center)
Teaching Philosophy
How children learn and the theoretical foundation
At the BMCC Early Childhood Center, we view our early childhood classrooms as a microcosm of a learning community. Our children are viewed as members of a peer group. As we begin to think about ‘learning through play’, the emergent curriculum is part of the early childhood methodology we utilize to foster learning in children. Our curriculum is diverse from classroom to classroom, from age group to age group, yet planned to reflect the Centers philosophy and goals for children.
Our goals are as follows; activities with children aim to be child directed, teachers assist in the facilitation of learning, we construct classrooms as a means for learning and teachers of young children set up the classroom environment to allow children to explore, to question, to work independently, within a group or with an adult. Within our learning community we use remnants of emergent curriculum, Creative Curriculum, Jean Piaget’s philosophy, the eight stages of Erick Erickson’s approach to learning, Howard Gardener’s concept of multiple intelligences, and supportive elements of the Reggio Emilia approach.
Our objective is to create critical thinking in young children. This is done by; forming healthy attachment to adults, developing a positive self image, development of the ‘whole child’ and supporting the idea of continuous growth through an enriched curriculum.
To further support children’s growth and development in the classroom, we encourage family involvement. Family involvement includes maintaining the conceptual approach to children’s learning as parents serving as primary teachers of their children’. To further support these concepts we attempt to build a partnership between student parents, teachers, administration and community at large. Our vision is to prepare respectful, responsible, caring, skilled, and literate life long learners through a stimulating, integrated curriculum that nurtures individual strengths, and talents in a safe environment. The environmental set up includes many diverse cultures, languages, and themes.
By means of our integrated model, learning occurs by continually building upon new experiences to further enhance the cognitive, social, emotional, physical, fine and gross motor development of children. Early Childhood classrooms comprise experiences similar to a child’s home environment to support a positive, supportive and enriched environment. Children are encouraged to take the lead, explore their environment; establish routine and understand transitions. The environment is rich in diverse culture; promotes a strong emphasis on literacy, math, science, arts, music and movement.
Play is a tool for learning. Learning through play helps formulate healthy experiences for children, healthy relationships with adults and before long parents will observe their child; once engaged only in parallel play begin to socialize, to share, build upon small concepts, and experiences learned in school yet similar to home.
The Early Childhood classroom and exploration of learning centers in the classroom encourage;
Fine Motor Development: used to increase small muscle development. This may include manipulating puzzles, drawing, coloring, painting, beading and manipulating print materials.
Cognitive Development: used in our interactive learning environment. This includes the engagement with peers, adults, materials and activities.
Physical Development: used in our interactive environment. This may include running, jumping, climbing, catching and ball playing, and structured outdoor time.
Social Development: used to promote active learning experiences. This will be done by the use of many dramatic play experiences such as pretend play and role playing.
Mathematical skills & Critical Thinking: used to increase all developmental areas. This may include phonological awareness, vocabulary knowledge, problem solving, creative planning, number concepts and peer interactions.
Emotional: used to increase positive self concepts. This may include the importance of human relationships such as peer interactions and adult/child interactions. This also includes peer negotiations, the ability to make choices and how to properly interact with others.
Family Involvement: used to increase the educational ability of individual children. Parents are welcome to our open door policy and encouraged to participate in many child centered activities. They are also encouraged to participate in program planning such as field trips and holiday decorating.
Community Development: Community development is used to educate the parents on activities they can access within the community upon the re-acclimatization into society. This includes childcare referrals, free activities within the city, medical services available, and additional support services they may be able to use upon transition into their own apartments. Local trips to the fire departments, police stations, grocery stores and pet shops are also part of our program.
By focusing on the whole child and providing stimulating experiences, the BMCC Early Childhood Center helps children develop advanced learning skills.

2. Explain what the program does in your comment.
Answer: Early childhood center benefits me at BMCC because it gives me a hands on opportunity with the children. Due to the COVID19 I wont be able to participate as much with the children but they accept students that are majoring in ECE to work at the center and work with their time schedules. The center gives you the oppunirty to work with the children which is a super plus.
Answer: Evening & weekend programs benefits me at BMCC because I have a full time job which is Mon-Fri 9-5 and also many of classes are run during those days and times. So the only time Iam available is during the evening and the weekends so with this program Iam able to still attend classes at night and on the weekend

The 2 programs that can support me success at BMCC are the CLIP program and the BOLT program. I don’t know many things because it is my second semester in BMCC. I think the CLIP program is a success program for immigrant students who are studying English as a second language. It can be helpful for students’ grammar, vocabulary, reading and writing.
The B.O.L.T program is a student leadership program and I’m happy to become this program member because this program was really successful. I can get a lot of information such as scholarships and leadership. This program also has seminars and trips. I have gone to Brooklyn with this program during the last semester.
The programs that have no in BMCC is Charity program. I think this program is needed for students who want to donate or help poor, orphaned , disable or homeless people because students need to show their physical and mineral strength and they stand with peoples who need help in society.

1.Degree program- This program is for busy people juggling work and family responsibilities.
BMCC CUNY Language Immersion Program (CLIP) offers ESL students intensive instruction in all English skills, especially reading and writing, I was in CLIP program and I think it is an interesting program. It helps ESL students to have good preparation for the college environment. They offer activities that aids to improve English skills such as practice writing by doing essays every week, reading book practice annotation, write scripts, doing presentations that helps to enhance student’s speech in public. Also learn always new vocabulary that could make the writing and speaking better. They offer many activities in order to prepare students to adapt for the college environment. For me it is successful because learning English is among the first thing required to access college. I indeed improved my skills from that program, and I am in college now whish is a great successful for me in my journey as student.
There are many other programs that could help students to achieve a successful college life. Whether it is programs that provide extensive courses and possibilities for expanding knowledge such as BLA and ASAP, or programs that contribute in providing financial aid such as TAP and scholarship. In my opinion this current program which we receives courses in education and through we address the study of different stages of child development and learn different strategies that aids us as a teacher in developing skill and knowledge about how to deal with children, will be a luminous candle in our academic and educational path and will contribute in our successful college life.

Work-study jobs try to give you practical experience in your field of interest or place you in community service work of some kind. You are eligible for the work study program if you are able to receive federal student aid. Work study earnings are taxable. Some benefits associated with Federal Work-Study participation:
-If you have never had a job, the Federal Work-Study program can give you your first exposure to the world of work. Federal Work-Study employers are often willing to give you on-the-job training.
-You can find positions relating directly to your program of study or career choice, thereby gaining valuable job experience.
-You may learn about giving something back to the community through a community service related Federal Work-Study position.
-When seeking regular employment after graduation, you may use your Federal Work-Study job as an employment reference.
-A Federal Work-Study position can sometimes lead to a permanent job with the agency that hired them as Federal Work-Study students.

Two programs that can support my success at BMCC is ASAP and BMCC’s study abroad program.
Explain what the program does in your comment.
ASAP (Accelerated study in associate programs) I found this program amazing because it provides BMCC students who enroll in this program a lot of benefits as long as the student meets the requirements of the ASAP program. It provides a free unlimited metro cards, assistance with textbooks, a tuition- gap waiver for eligible students, a dedicated ASAP advisor, and the list goes on. They also host special events where the students participate, through interactive games such as music, dance, arts and crafts and among more.
BMCC’s study abroad sounds very interesting because it is a form of experiential learning that allows students to earn academic credit outside of the traditional classroom setting. It’s open to all majors, eligible students receive the BMCC association scholarship to help fund the opportunity. Students can gain international experience through internship and volunteer opportunities. The experience can also help students build a strong skill set for the workplace.

I identified two programs that I think are of a significant help for a student like me (1st year ECE).
1. MANHATTAN EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY CENTER (MEOC)
MEOC is a CUNY organism proposed to empower language skills and job opportunities and career readiness. They offer Academic Programs like English language classes as English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) for free and also High School Diploma Equivalency Preparation for those who prepare admission to the college. What I found interesting with them is that they also offer Career Training Programs, for people who want to pursue careers in healthcare jobs, business, government and nonprofit organizations or have been accepted into many public and private colleges. The training offered are Electronic Health Records, EKG Training, Certified Phlebotomy, Training, Certified Nursing Assistant, Hospitality Training, Security Officer Training, Certified Microsoft® Office, OSHA 30-Hour for Construction, Civil Service Exam Preparation.
What is also motivating with MEOC is that all costs associated with gaining a license, certification, and/or testing in the Career Training programs are covered by the MEOC for students who successfully complete the program.
All prospective students must meet the following requirements:
A. Demonstrate New York State residency for at least a year prior to enrollment and be 18 or older
B. Meet New York State income guidelines.
C. Non-college graduate (for all programs except ESOL and the ATTAIN Lab) or have fewer than 33 college credits for other programs.
Just know that attendance at an Admissions Session is the first step in MEOC’s enrollment process.
2. CUNY EDGE (EDUCATE, DEVELOP, GRADUATE and EMPOWER) Program formerly known as COPE, is an initiative implemented by CUNY and the Human Resources Administration (commonly referred to as HRA.) The goal is to support the specific needs of students who are receiving government assistance and are pursuing an undergraduate degree.
CUNY EDGE balances academic advising and personal support with career/employment readiness, leadership development, and community engagement while maintaining students’ compliance with HRA regulations The CUNY EDGE program integrates elements of successful college completion programs with work opportunities, personal development, and academic excellence. It is really a helpful program which mission is to help CUNY students who are receiving public assistance achieve academic excellence, graduate on time, and find employment by offering comprehensive personal and professional development seminar series to assist students with study skills-building, problem-solving, career development, and self- advocacy, it connects students to internship, HRA work study, and job opportunities. It also promotes a culture of academic excellence by offering tutoring services and limited tuition support for intersession and summer classes. Moreover, it collaborates more closely with campus offices and programs including CUNY Start, ASAP, advising offices, career services, HRA Work Study sites, and Single Stop to get students the help they need and helps remain compliant with all HRA rules and regulations.
Module 2 Assignment #2: Career at BMCC, Programs at BMCC
Two (2) programs that can support your success at BMCC.
Sociology (A.A.)
The Social Sciences, Human Services and Criminal Justice department offers a program in Sociology leading to an associate in arts degree.
Sociology is the scientific study of society. It is a social science that studies social interactions and social structures, as well as stability and change in social life. It considers how social relationships influence individual behavior, and how societies (the sum total of those relationships) develop and change over time.
I am interested in doing this program because it relates to society and social life. I would gain a better understanding of the various societal operations and how they influence our lifestyles. This program would prepare me to work in the community with various agencies to help every day people obtain services from the organizations. It would help me to understand how our societies change and how to prepare for those changes.
Modern Languages: Spanish (A.A.)
This course is offered by The Department of Modern Languages as an Associate of Art (A.A.) degree program in Modern Languages with a specialization in Spanish. This interdisciplinary major will provide students with the necessary foundation in language skills and cultural literacy to engage in a professional career.
I am interested in doing this program because I am in a teaching environment where most of the students speak Spanish. As their teacher, I would be better able to effectively communicate with them and understand their needs much better. They will also feel more motivated to learn because they would not be afraid to ask questions and understanding would be much clearer. Another important aspect of me doing this major is to be able to communicate with their parents/guardians. The students would be more responsible with their work, because they know that I can call and talk to their parents any time. Overall, it is very essential to speak another language and not to mention, I live in New York where there are many Spanish speaking persons.
