Professional Hope and Goal
I enjoyed the 8 whole weeks of Perspectives on Diversity and Equity. I it such a bittersweet ending as I truly enjoy this class yet am glad that I have was able to finish another.When asked if I could give one hope that I have about working with children and families who come from diverse background, it would be that I hope that I will always strive to learn about each individual child and family I work with and be able to make each one feel welcomed and respected.
If I were to give one goal that that should be set for the early childhood field related to issues on diversity it will be that all early childhood educators be provided with continuous/regular faculty development programs focused on helping them appreciate diversity and provide for children and families from diverse backgrounds.
It has truly been a wonderful two months working with each of my colleagues. I would like to thank each one of you for all your inputs, personal stories, opinions and ideas. I learned a great deal from all of you. I would also like to extend my gratitude to our Professor, Dr. Dartt, for being so involved with all the discussions and helping us maximize our experience in this course. I hope to cross paths with each of you one day... God bless, everyone!

Elizabeth,
We have all learned so much that we can go back and utilized in our professions. I am also thankful for finishing another class! I think that it is very important for all care givers and educators to be trained in diversity and equity. Our children and families deserve it. Good Luck to you as you continue your journey!
Elizabeth,
Thank you for sharing your personal stories in your posts. It takes courage to give people a glimpse into your personal life but I think that those personal stories are what make an impact. I hope you are successful in your future and maybe I will "see" you in the next class! :)
