乔丹开始在LMC学习汽车和计算机科学。 However, Jordan took a break from school, but soon returned, deciding to take an introductory child development. He enjoyed the 天博 and teaching styles, “I remember thinking ‘they’re great teachers’ and it hooked me. I was like ‘oh this stuff makes so much sense.’” Having worked at an after school program before, Jordan was encouraged by his LMC teacher to apply for the internship.

“实习非常棒,每个人都很有帮助。 I learned a lot about working with children and new approaches to interacting with them.” Child Development felt like the right path for Jordan, so he pursued the study. “我继续上课。 我的教授是其中很大的原因,因为她一直在督促我。 ‘Take this class. 看,这就是你能做的,’”他回忆道。 His instructor really supported him, his growth and development.

Jordan believes that the LMC internship really helped him establish his decision to further pursue this field. After his experience at 天博 schools, Jordan felt that LMC’s program is different because LMC has students work alongside one an天博 with similar techniques in to how to care for the children. Jordan acknowledges that it can be beneficial to witness 天博 techniques and approaches, but explains, “Predictability, we learn, is the prerequisite for safety, and safety is the foundation for learning. Therefore, all of us are able to go about problem solving the same way and the children know what to expect. Then by knowing what to expect they feel safe and are able to open up more and be themselves. When they're more open, they're going to be more receptive to information and so they're going to be able to learn at a much higher level.”

乔丹的建议:

我会说学习,接受所有反馈,建立联系。 I think developing relationships within your community is really important because you're going to be able to lean on one an天博 for information to solve the same problems. You have a diverse group of students at LMC who are at various stages in life and making connections is so valuable and LMC has an atmosphere that allows that.”

When it comes to making connections, Jordan says that there is a good opportunity to establish genuine and long-lasting relationships; 无论是职业上还是个人上。 “Professional and personal relationships, I think, inspire the motivation needed to continue moving forward and to learn the best practices.”
