- One hope that you have when you think about working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds (any format and any length):
My one hope for children and families who come from diverse backgrounds is that they feel accepted when they are in my classroom. I feel that an early childhood classroom should be a safe haven for all involved, and strive to create that environment for the diverse families I work with.
- 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):
I would like to see more men in the early childhood field, especially in poverty stricken areas such as the one I currently teach. So many of our children do not have a positive male role model in their lives, and I think it could make quite an impact to have that at the early childhood stage.
- A brief note of thanks to your colleagues:
Thank you to those who have read and commented on my work, and especially for allowing me to read and learn from your work and experiences. Reading your thoughts and experiences has helped me to grow and develop towards the anti-bias educator that I am striving to become.
Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteIt would be wonderful for to see more men working in the early childhood field. Most children growing in poverty stricken areas do not have positive men role models. This would be a great change for them. Also, I want to thank you for helping me to expand my knowledge in this class. I hope to see you in the next class.
Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteIt has always been important to me to provide an inviting, comforting environment for all children in my classroom. The more comfortable they are, the easier it is for them to learn.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge with me. Looking forward to working with you again!
Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteI had fun in this course, thanks for your support and comments.
