Professional Hopes and Goals

Professional Hopes and Goals

One hope that I have when working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds that I am too support the learning of all the children in my classroom regardless of their families cultural, language, race, social class and/or special needs and any other dimensions of diversity.

Due to the increasingly number of children with home language other than English in early childhood classrooms, the one goal that I would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity and social justice is a required course in ESL for all early childhood educators in order to learn and/or gain a better perspective about ESL in which I believe will help when implementing classroom instructions as well help eliminate the ongoing academic achievement gaps between White and non-White students.

 I’d like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues, through your shared knowledge and wisdom over the last several weeks, I’ve gained a new perspective on how to deal with specific microaggressions behaviors that I have encounter over the years. This has truly been in inspiring course.
