This program, as a whole has been such a great educational
journey for me, rom the foundation of early childhood education, on down to the
capstone project. I have had the pleasure of becoming familiar with some of the
most insightful features that contribute to the making of early childhood.
Understanding that Early Childhood programs cater to serving children and
families with fair and equal treatment, Equity has become one that I have
learned to take more consideration for, as that families should not be treated
any different than the next, regardless of race, skin color, of background,
which is what leads to another significant learning that has sparked my
interest, in which I have carried throughout this course, Anti-bias education. Anti-bias
education, is specifically for the use of disregarding biases in the early
childhood field. My definition of bias is the attitudes of individuals that display
prejudice and stereotyping of another individual simply because they are not willing
to accept the difference of each other. I really enjoyed learning about
anti-bias because I have realized how important it is to have such a practice
in this field, which compliments equity and person Identity. Speaking of
personal identity, which was another great learning for me in this program. As
we all know that no two people are EXACTLY the same, we have the right do be
comfortable with embracing our own personal identity, as well as giving and receiving
respect from others and their personal identities. Learning about Microaggressions
was also a great topic to learn about, whereas we as humans can oftentimes say
offensives comments to individuals that focuses on their personal identity,
race, culture, etc. There were many great topics that were touched on in this
program and I hope to carry them with me long-term.
My long term goal is to keep searching for more sources in
the childhood education field and learn more about one day being able to become
an early childhood professional. Ultimately, I plan to one day put my goals
into action one day and work towards my goal in my capstone project.
I have really enjoyed working with all of my fellow
colleagues, you guys rocked!! Thank you for all of your help and support. Keep
striving for success and move forward. Take care.
