Week: 8 Perspective Diversity & Equity

My Professional Hopes and Goals

Hopes

As a professional caregiver the one hope that I carry when working with children and families from diverse background, is that we all learn to appreciate each other and work together for the benefit of the success of the children.  

Going forth I hope that all educators become educated on the significance of diversity, equity, and social justice.  I hope teachers all across the world learn how to embrace each unique child and their family's cultural differences. 

Goals

My one goal as a preschool teacher is to make sure that all the children and families feel welcomed, safe, and accepted in my classroom . 

I plan to establish many meaningful relationships with the children and families in my community to help me to better understanding how I can help and support them.  

I have learned from this course that, preschool is not just about teaching children how to write their name or learn their numbers. But teaching children and families how to embrace the differences that make us who we are and accept their unique qualities.

My primary goal is to leave a legacy in my community where all children and families feel important and are supported by the Field of Early Childhood.

          

First, I would like to thank Dr. Horton and all my professional colleagues for such a meaningful course. All of your our personally experiences and stories really helped me to understand about the many diversity issues and challenges that we face as human beings.  I have learned so much about our responsibilities and obligations as preschool educators.  I now better comprehend the statement "We Are All Alike But We Are All Different" 

Thank you all again, and wish you all a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year!! :)
