My most passionate hope for my future while working
with young children and their families is that every child be afforded the opportunity
to receive high quality education, regardless of race, gender, economic class,
language, culture, religion, etc. And also to continue to make every effort to
create an anti-bias setting that is rich in possibilities for exploring
cultural diversity.
Thank you colleagues for sharing you most inner
thoughts, hopes and dreams. The knowledge and information I've gained from each
of your experiences has truly been an inspiration. Over the course of the last several months I've
cultivated friendships beyond the classroom and I look forward to continuing
those friendships and collaborating with those of you in the near future.
Hi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteThe hopes that you have for your future of working with children are very inspiring. I found it so refreshing that although we are all educators and we have been working together in this class, our hopes and dreams for education are all different from each other. It has been enlightening for me to learn from you and all of my colleagues. It has been great to gain some new perspectives and experiences from everyone.
Great job,
Jamie
Hello Sandra,
ReplyDeleteI thank you for all of your input and thoughtful discussion posts and blogs throughout this course. I have been very lucky to have had such great colleagues who shared so much of their experiences and wisdom. Your hopes for your future sound wonderful, and i hope that you get to accomplish all that you set out to do. Thank you for taking this academic journey with me; with all of us Sandra, and good luck in your future!!
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your discussions and feedback these past 8 weeks, it has been a great journey. I would also like to add that I also hope for all children to get the education they deserve regardless of their race, gender, economic class, language, culture, and religion. If we work together as anti- biased educators, we will strengthen our skills in the early childhood field and therefore lead a diverse and equitable program (Derman - Sparks & Edwards Olsen, 2010). “Taking part in anti- bias and other forms of diversity/ equity work with colleagues not only contributes to advancing early childhood work as a whole, but it also expands our own understanding and helps us to feel linked to a broader network of people” (Derman - Sparks & Edwards Olsen, 2010, p. 158).

The best of luck to you Sandra as you continue your journey!!! I am sure you will continue to make a difference in the lives of children every day as an anti-bias educator.I have enjoyed reading your blog and your posts in the class.
