Learning and Teaching Experience... By Shasheena Jones

 Greetings,

I like to introduce myself to you. My name is Shasheena Jones, Sh7d0one’e e7 Táchii'nii, Tábąąhá, Tł 'ááshch77', Áshįįhi. I am from Rock Point. I am a mother of 4 beautiful children. Currently, I am enrolled in the Early Childhood program at Navajo Technical University. The Navajo Head Start program heavily inspired me as a parent. Getting involved with my daughter’s education made me want to become a teacher. Having to hear the lack of teacher’s position with in the program got me inspired to provide my teaching skills around the young Head Start students. Participating in meetings, and events that were held with emerging generations was my favorite part. Taking part in young children’s education, I found myself enjoying being a part of their learning. Working in a field of education, understanding the processes and methods of teaching and learning in preschools and schools. I gained experience assisting with Navajo Head Start children. I am eager to learn more about learning structures in early childhood. I see myself furthering my degree to become a teacher. I would highly recommend Cherly Tom instructor. I am delighted to take her classes to discover her teachings are well taught, for the purpose of early childhood. Specifically, I appreciated her ability to maintain the progression of a discussion over the course. I was extremely appreciative of Ms. Tom's helpfulness and openness during one-on-one meetings. NTU has been a great experience, and I am happy to be a part of the early childhood program.
