When I think about working with children and families from diverse backgrounds, the main hope that I have is that my colleagues and I will be able to build a strong relationship with every family and help all the children we work with reach their full developmental potential. I hope that I will continue to grow as a teacher and practice anti-bias education to help build a strong foundation that will help children embrace diversity and develop positive self-identities.
One goal that I would like to set forth for the early childhood field is for us as educators to continue to grow and work towards bettering ourselves and our field. I would love to see more trainings available, especially ones that focus on diversity issues such as equity and social justice; these topics are so relevant in today’s society and deserve more attention!
I would also like to say thank you to my colleagues for sharing their insights and perspectives, providing support, and helping me grow personally and professionally; I have learned so much from you and am looking forward to continuing this journey and learning more with you! Thank you!
Hey Jennifer, I wish you all the luck with your journey as becoming an professional educator,hopefully with the education we are recieving through walden we will be the very best.
