One hope that you have when you think about working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds (any format and any length)
- One hope that I have when I work with children and their families who come from diverse backgrounds, is to see me as I am. I hope that the family vows to give me a chance and work with me so that I can incorporate their culture into my curriculum. However, they must understand that before I implement their facts into the lessons, I must first learn about them. Learn and research some basic language, beliefs, wants and needs, and also what there goals are for their child.
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)
- One goal I would like to set for the early childhood field that is related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice, is to provide a diversity training/workshop once a quarter. This would primarily be to learn and implement new information, tips, and activities. I think it is very important to keep up with society, being that there is always new information being updated each day.
A brief note of thanks to your colleagues
-To Ms. Snider and Classmates,
I have enjoyed the past eight weeks, from interacting during discussions, giving feedback on blogs, and from getting helpful tips from the instructor. I have definitely learned from each and every one of you. I also have a new outlook on the topics we discussed, that will make me start looking at certain situations in a new light now. I will take what I have learned and implement it into my classrooms and into my teaching style.
Thanks again, Sherrell
Hi Sherrell,
ReplyDeleteI have also learned a lot about diversity and how to apply it in my teaching. I am glad to have taken this course because; I learned issues about the biases in my life which helps me become a person that is able understand the ones different from mine. Thank you Sherrell, for your acceptance of all the cultures and the difference in us all. I know any child in your care is valued.
Kathleen
Sherrell,
ReplyDeleteI loved what you said at the beginning about your hope, "that children and their families who come from diverse backgrounds see you as I are and that they give you a chance and work with you so that I can incorporate their culture into my curriculum". That is such a profound statement and I too hope that for you. Those children and families can only benefit from all that you have to offer them. I wish you all the best for your future.
