Hope
o
One
hope that I have when thinking about working with children and families who
come from diverse backgrounds is that people stop creating and believing
stereotypes. Whether we believe them or not, we still are aware of them and
that awareness can unintentionally offend someone some day. It is best to check
all biases before working with children and their families. All children and
their families should get the same care and education.

Goal

One
goal I would like to set for the early childhood field relating to issues of
diversity, equity, and social justice is to develop a curriculum that is
inclusive for all.

It has been a pleasure working with you as well, Ryan!
ReplyDeleteYou are right - if we can get past our own negative images of diversity and level the playing field, one day we can honor each and every child and family we serve.
Blessings to you as you continue on this journey!
Ms. Ryan,

Ryan,
ReplyDeleteI like your goal and hope! Awareness of personal biases will help decrease stereotypes in the classroom and set an example for children to follow. I also agree that it is important to include anti-bias education in curriculums.
Thank you for your thoughtful posts and insights throughout this course!
Ms. Ryan,
ReplyDeleteI am confident that you will achieve your goals and I share in hopes of providing a quality education for all families. I have enjoyed working with you on these blogs, and I hope to work with you in the future.
