6357. Week 8. What I Have Learned

I wish I could help children and families to discover how valuable their uniqueness is. At the same time, through their discovery, I hope children and families can identify how enriching their community is when everyone is included.

A goal I have for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice is that early childhood settings and professionals value how fundamental is to welcome, respect, and embrace the differences that make each person unique and valuable. I would also like all families and the people involved within the field, could access the resources each one need, in order to overcome their challenges and finally thrive.

Finally, I would like to thank to all my colleagues and instructor Dr. Kien for their supportive and fundamental interaction throughout this course. I cannot imagine myself without the help I got from each of you, when trying to find and define myself throughout this course. iMIL GRACIAS! ;)

Best wishes for all of you in future endeavors!

P.S. Only four more months :)

    Caty,

    I agree with you; we must embrace diversity by showing respect and acceptance of differences; in turn, we can then teach others about the importance of diversity. Without this course, I would not be mindful of how important diveristy is. As a matter of fact, I never thought twice about it. I am beyond thankful I took this course!

    Good luck to you in your future courses here at Walden!

    Blessings,
    Susan

    Caty,

    Your goal for the early childhood field is so important in building an anti-bias education program and striving for social justice. You brought up a good point - resources need to be available to families and people involved in early childhood. We need to help others access the tools they need to succeed.

    Caty,

    I could not agree with you more. Children and families need to understand how valuable they are in this world. We have a lot to offer the world. As you mentioned, we need to pull together as a community, as a whole. Embrace diversity and we all can respect, value and welcome each other.

    I hope to work with you again on this enlighting journey.
