Throughout my time working in various early learning
programs from coast to coast I have one hope to advocate for those who need it.
Over the years I have had to be the voice for those who are not being heard or
even do not yet have the words it is not easy, but is something I am very
passionate about. As an educator, we must be diligent to keep in mind those who
are in our care are being cared for and having their needs met. Educating on
cultures and their values is so important since we are all so different
something that seems “wrong” in one culture may be perfectly normal in another.
This is why we must continually be educating ourselves about the different
cultures in our community we serve.
A goal I have is to encourage children to learn more about
those around them. Instill in them a desire to learn from the person who is
different than them and celebrate what makes them different. Being able to
value what makes us all different is so important to be more tolerant and
accepting of those around us. This will hopefully create a better tomorrow for
us all.
I would to say thank you for the support and interaction
throughout this course. It is wonderful to be a part of such a great group that
is so encouraging and accepting. It has been great getting to know you all and
I hope only the best for each and every one of you.

Hi Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoy all your posts and insights over the past eight weeks. I strongly agree with the fact that we need to educate our children to celebrate each others differences and learn from one another. We as educators have that role and need to model the behavior as well as create opportunities for children to learn from one another's differences.
Good luck with your future learning.
Kind regards,
Amanda
