Week 8

                            Professional Hopes and Goals

My eight weeks experience with the course perspective diversity and equity has brought about a lot of changes for in me; changes in terms of knowledge, insights, hopes and dreams as well as goals I hope to attain as a professional in the field

The hope I have when I think about working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds is that every child and family’s culture is respected and is actively reflected in the school setting, structures,activities and curriculum

The goal I would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice is that the early childhood field should promote and reflect an inclusive environment where all differences and challenges are acknowledge and always visible  in the learning process. This I believe would develop in children and families positive self esteem, respect and appreciation of other cultures, as well as compassion towards those with challenges.

This journey would not have being possible without supports. I would therefore like to thank my instructor and colleagues for making this experience and journey a fruitful one. The ideas, insights and experiences shared have had tremendous impact on my personality .As we continue in our journey to become better as professionals; I wish everyone the best of luck.
