What I have Learned Week 8

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

The major hope I have is simply said, yet as we have learned it is a lot harder to do. I simply hope that I remain accepting of others and their difference as well as respectful at all times. I hope I do not let any biases I may have formed to stand in the way of providing the best educational opportunity possible for any child. 

• One goal you would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice (any format and any length)

One goal I would like to set for the field would be more awareness that inequalities do exist within our society and even schools. We hear it exists, but having knowledge of what we can do to provide a school and classroom environment that is accepting, respectful, and the diveristy in the classroom is a begin stage to building social justice beyond the classroom and into the community. Personally, having more opportunities to become knowledgable of anti bias work in education would be beneficial for all. Hopefully, I can be a resource to others within my school for this topic.


I want to say thank you to all my colleagues for taking the time and responding to my posts throughout this course. You all have been a wondeful support system during this class. Best of luck in the next course! Can you see it? It's the light at the end of the tunnel. We are almost there!
