They use this understanding to create respectful and supportive curriculum and learnings environment for children. Also, as professional I should be aware of ethical guidelines , professional standards related to early childhood practice and issues that rise up on early childhood field in Oman and other countries. In my point of view , I think that becoming a professional also means having a positive attitudes about diverse among young children and their families .

differences among young children in development , abilities and needs . Through this assignment, I was exposed to lots of articles and references which are talking about build effective lesson plan . Moreover, this assignment gave me a clear idea about inclusion , now I believe that inclusion is not just disabilities issue , but it is about our abilities and how to share it .
