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 (any format and any length)

 

I hope that I am educated enough to make children and their families who come from diverse backgrounds comfortable.  I feel that any family from a diverse background is already going to be uncomfortable in new situations they are not familiar with but I feel my education could ease their minds.  I want to know more about diversity an have the ability to show I am educated and always willing to learn more.

 

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 diversity, equity, and social justice for the early childhood field is to have more education on these topics.  It is not said enough, kids are coming out of early childhood with very little idea what diversity even means.  Schools need to have resources, curriculum, and a vast amount of materials on these subjects.  With education, the future for the children and others will be much easier.

 

 

A brief note of thanks to your colleagues

 

Thank you everyone for letting me learn from you and with you.  I feel we are lucky to be working with educators and have real life situations we are working through together.  This has been such a valuable course and has brought new meaning to the word diversity for me.  I hope you all continue to thrive in your education.

  1. Lynette,
    I appreciate your passion for this field as I have witnessed it often over the last eight weeks working together in this course. I agree that the resources need to be there for us to expand our anti-bias education practices in the classroom. Without practicing such anti-bias curriculum, the children will be lost and biases will continue to perpetuate. I feel as though we have all learned so much in this course from the content and from one another. Wishing you all the best in the future!

  2. Lynette I want to say that this was a very informative class. I hope that we all leave with something that was important that we are able to incorporate it into our class room. I wish you well and I appreciate you all.
