when I think about working with Children and families from diverse backgrounds, my main focus is their well-being. Due to the fact that working with people with different cultures and backgrounds, it is sometimes rather challenging to meet their needs. My hope for working with children and families is that I am able to establish a relationship/partnerships with the individuals and give thrgive them a sense of safety and security by decorating my classroom that displays a welcoming climate that shows that their kind are accepted and appreciated as well. I believe that these first aspects are the key to teaching and reaching out to children and families.
My goal in working with children and families is to see that needs are met for all, regardless of family income, living status, race and even poverty stricken families and much more. I would love to be an advocate and early childhood professional that steps up to make an attempt in reducing biases and inequities in the early childhood field.
I must say that it has been a pleasure to work with each and everyone of you all. Thanks for your support in my blogs and discussions, and I wish you all well in your next course :)
Diedra,
ReplyDeleteIt is always nice to be a voice for children. As early childhood professionals we should always strive to eliminate our own biases within the classroom. I have enjoyed reading your blogs throughout this course. I wish you well. Thank you!
