When I think about working with children and families from
diverse backgrounds my hope is to share the knowledge I have learned with
others so that we can effectively serve each family in a way that makes them
feel welcomed and valued. I want them to be able to freely share their
experiences in an accepting, non-threatening environment.
One of my goals for
the early childhood field is that teachers embrace diversity. I would like to
see more training offered so that every teacher could become more aware and begin to practice equity work in the classroom. Once armed
with the knowledge I am certain teachers and administrators would embrace
diversity in their programs.
To my colleagues, I
wish you the best of success in your future work with children and
families. I would also like to thank you
all for your words of encouragement, wisdom, and respect during this
class. I have learned so much from each of you this semester. This has been a great experience.

Hi Crystal! I've really enjoyed our discussions throughout this class; and, like you, I have gained so much from this class. In this post, I especially like the way you said you want to share what you have learned in order to better serve each family. As complex a topic as diversity is, most of what we have learned here seems basic. I wish you the best in sharing what we have learned, which will certainly benefit all.
Hi Crystal,
Working with young children means you need to understand the science of human development along with culture. There is so much to learn in these areas including the simple concept of love, respect, and acceptance. I am glad you want to share what you have learned in order to better serve each family. All the in your studies.
Hi Crystal,
Definitely the knowledge that we can share with the families and children will be very useful. The best of success for you and all your future projects.
