One hope that I have when I think about working with children and families is that everyone is treated equally with respect regardless of their age, sex, race, religious or whatever makes them different from other. While working in the classroom hope to make everyone feel welcome and to make sure that their culture is being valued in the classroom. I want to make sure that the children are learning at their highest potential. I have to include that the students are safe and learning about the differences within the classroom and outside the classroom. Through my lessons I want to make sure that my students are learning about all the differences in the world. I want them to have an understanding that everyone is different and unique by at the same time plays an important part to society.
I would like to thank my entire colleague for their comments and response to both my blog and discussion board. I appreciate everything everyone said. You comments and response means a lot to me and help me see things in a different way. Thanks everyone!!
One goal I would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice is for everyone in the field of early childhood is to have an open mind about others and their culture. Let's not prejudge before getting to know a person and their culture. We need to understand who the person really is before judging.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your goal about everyone in this field having an open mind about others and their culture. The world as a whole would be so much better off if we all accepted each other and stopped judging because of our differences.
