Professional Hopes and Goals


 Many times we have children that are very vindictive to other children and families.  Therefore, as an early childhood professional I would like all children to see a person for who they are and not the color of their skin.  If a white child sees a black child, I do not want to run, but talk to them and make sure they understand they talk a like, walk alike, and even put their clothes on the same way, one leg at a time.  I can say I am guilty of this myself.  I asked my son who was going to college why he wanted to go to the college of his choice, because the majority of the students were white.  He replied mom does everything have to black or white?  You know it gave me something to think about. Does it?

 

My goal as an early childhood professional is to teach all children that no matter what color your skin is that we are all the same, people.  I would teach different cultures and help them understand that no matter they are of a different race, we were all create equal.

To my fellow colleagues, I would like to say I have enjoyed reading your post.  I have learned most about most of you through you BLOGS and feel I have gone to school with you somewhere else.  I have learned more in the class reading your discussions also.  Thank you for all your commits and concerns.  I hope to have you all on my team in the next class.

  1. Myra,

    Thank you for sharing yourself in your blogs. I agree that the blog format is a very good way to learn more about each other outside the classroom, if you will.

    I share your hope that our classrooms will teach our children to value the differences that make us unique.

    Good luck in your future course work.

  2. Myra,

    I think you have a great goal. We really are all the same. Children are young and can be taught to love one another. Your son is very smart! Best of Luck to you. Diana

  3. Hi Myra,
    Having a deep understanding of diversity, equity and social justice helps us to be flexible and open to the many ways of being human. This course has definitely benefitted me as well both personally and professionally. The opportunity to learn with you and from you helped me to grow in my anti-bias education. I wish you all the best in your future courses.
