One hope that I have for my own interactions with families is that I always come across as the understanding and respectful teacher I want to be. I hope that all families in my facility, no matter race, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation, feel like they are part of a community of learning. I hope that our daycare becomes an extended family for all members.
One goal I would like to see in the early childhood field is increased education on diversity, equity and social justice. I firmly believe that the end of racism, biases and prejudice will come by changing the environment in which children are involved with in the early years. Educating early years teachers will help bring this change to fruition.
Thank you to all my colleagues in this course. I have learned from you new ideas and perspectives. Hope to see you in future classes!
I have really enjoyed your posts and insights throughout this course. I agree that educating early year teachers will help bring forth change. Best wishes as you continue through the next course.
