One hope that I have with regards to working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds is to provide all children with equal learning opportunities despite of their origin so that each child can excel in their learning. It is my desire to provide alternative approaches, skills for life, and decision making, which will enable children to ultimately become productive citizens of society.
One goal that I would like set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice is that we make all children and families feel valued and significant in every aspect of our classroom community. We must be optimistic and set aside our biases so that we can display equity and provide children with quality learning opportunities despite of their culture or ethnicity.
To all my colleagues, thank you all and I really enjoyed reading each discussion board and the blog each week. We all have come a mighty long way and I wish you all the best of luck as we continue this journey. I know we all will continue to excel in the program. With all the material and research I have learned throughout these few weeks wil help me better serve the children and their families that come from different culture. I can honestly say that with everything that I did learn these few weeks has helped me to grow as an individual. I hope to see or hear from everyone in the next class..
Best of luck to all!
