Professional Hopes and Goals

 

 

 

 One hope that you have when you think about working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds.

Diversity is a great thing and there are people of the world who believe differently. I think the world would be a boring place if we were all exactly the same. We can learn a lot through the people that are different from ourselves. Whether that difference is race, culture, age, ability, religion, gender, etc., there is something that we can embrace. I would like for the world to be more opening to the different type of people and families that are in our society.

 

One goal you would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice.

I would like for all early childhood programs and education facilities across the world to teach the same about diversity, equity, and social justice. When I think about the world and about children, I realize that we as educators are the foundation to their learning and development. If everyone practice the same practices about diversity and its importance it can follow to adulthood. I would like all early childhood programs to implement diversity, equity, and social justice; and be effective in their teachings as well as consistent. Lets teach LOVE on purpose!

 

I would like to thank all of my colleagues for sharing their personal stories and their knowledge throughout this course. It has been very inspiring for different backgrounds to come together with the same thoughts when it comes to early childhood and education. I would like to wish everyone the best in their future courses and hopefully we will cross paths again in other classes.
