A hope I have when working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds is to understand the real life experience of the families and children I want to teach.
One goal I would like to set for childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice is to increase awareness of workplace diversity, but also to develop and enhance skills among early childhood professionals to help us communicate more profoundly in the future. Differences in race, sexual orientation, education and work experience can cause tremendous damage. Although diversity training cannot all together change individuals’ beliefs, it has the ability to increase awareness, impart knowledge and educate educators further on how to accept differences among fellow employees.
I have enjoyed my time here and I appreciate having had the opportunity to work with all of you. Thank you for the support, guidance, and encouragement each one of you has given me. I am looking forward to this new challenge we are getting ready to embark on, as they say the journey continues, I will see you on the other side. Until then be blessed.
Tree of love
This was a gift given to me on my last day of student teaching in Leesburg, Ga by the students and my master teacher in May of 2010. I treasure this gift because it reminds me of the passion and the ambition they felt for me.
