My hope for the early childhood field and the society we
all take part of, is that every person can be seen as a contributor for a
greater and more diverse community, and not as a barrier or a problem just
because of everyone’s uniqueness. As a person who is aware of the importance of
identifying my own bias and strengths, I consider I got more strategies that
let me help others to feel comfortable for being who they are. I also wish I
have the sensitiveness needed to talk to others about the importance of being
diverse and unique, because only when addressing differences we all would be
able to accept that the common facts among everyone are our differences.
Finally, I want to thank to my colleagues and Dr. Weems
for their contributions to my growth. Through your posts and comments I was
able to broaden my perspectives, while all of you gave me endless opportunities
to consider ideas I did not even realize until reading them from you. Thank you
all for being fundamental part of my personal and professional growth!
Wishing you all the best in the last course of this
program degree and in future endeavors!
Dear Ms. Duran,
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your kind words of thanks. We must be a “special” team to work with children in the 21st century. Children suffer so much these days, not to mention all the abuse and family stress they have to endure on a daily basis. Gone are the days of a traditional family or even a settled community. I think with our assistance in learning diversity and studying the anti-bias curriculum/community, we are doing a great deal to help globally. Enjoy your studies and your families.
Caty,
ReplyDeleteI have learned the importance of discussing differences with our students and families. Some people think it is rude to talk about how we are different from each other, when in fact discussing our differences allows us to appreciate each other for being unique. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and experiences. I wish you the best.
Caty,
