As an early childhood professional, my most passionate hope for my future is to be able to model and teach my children and their families how important it is to not only understand, but respect each other for who they are and where they come from. I want my children and their families to know that we are here to protect their child from bias behaviors. Valuing and supporting families no matter what is important to building relationships and partnerships as we work together to provide the best education for them that we can.
I would like to thank each of my colleagues for your encouragement as we come to the close of another course here at Walden. You truly have blessed me with some very valuable information and your support has been wonderful. I have enjoyed hearing of your personal and professional experiences which will help us as we continue working in the early childhood field. I wish each of you the best as you continue in your next class, and for most of us, our last one!
Hi Amy,
ReplyDeleteI have once again enjoyed all of your discussions and blogs during this class. I believe you are very passionate about your job as an early childhood educator. I wish you well as you continue.

Amy, I enjoyed reading your blog. I agree with you that children should need to respect others. This is important to me. I do not care about race, economic issues, etc, just respect everyone. Treat everyone the way you want everyone to treat you. I wish you all the luck in the future! Thanks for remaining positive, even if you did not agree with someone's outlook on a topic!
ReplyDeleteAmy, I appreciate the sentiment you shared from Doe Zantamata. What a great way to sum up an anti-bias approach to early childhood education! Your passion for your work is to be admired, and also your commitment to providing a safe place for children to learn and grow. I’m sure the youngsters in your class will have a great start on their way to valuing and respecting diversity.
