Professional Hopes and Goals

It is a joy to work with children and families from diverse backgrounds.  It gives you an opportunity to look into the lives of others that are different from you and allows you to compare and contrast as well as learn additional information about their various background, culture and customs.  It also provides the child and family with a foundation for success because of the collaboration among the educator, children and families.  One hope that I have working with children and families with diverse background is to provide for them all the essentials needed in order for them to thrive in their new environment such as making them feel welcome, learning more about their culture prior to their arrival just to name a few.  One significant aspiration I have is to be able to effectively communicate with them and learn their language.

One goal that I would like to set for the early childhood field as it relates to issues of diversity equity, and social justice is that we all work together as one providing children and families with quality services despite their race, culture, sexual orientation, or religious affiliations.  To be sensitive to one another needs, treat everyone with respect and embrace one another and all the diversities.

To all my colleagues it has been a pleasure sharing these past seven weeks with you. I enjoyed reading all of your post- you all imparted useful information that will be beneficial for future ventures.  As this class comes to a close I wish you all the good luck in your future endeavors.
