Professional Hopes and Goals
- One hope that you have when you think about working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds (any format and any length)
One hope that I have when I think about working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds is that I will be able to accommodate their expectations and hopes without disappointing them. I know that I would be the able to work with them hand in hand to make the children’s education as well the prosperity of the family with respect and understanding of our cultural differences.
- One goal you would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice (any format and any length)
“ISMS” free world for the next generation is my optimistic goal for the early childhood field. The more I learn on the subject of ISMS the more I feel disturbed by the issues that individuals as well as groups of people have to face due to the discriminations based on ISMS. I hope, by the time current children (who are in the early childhood arena) become grown ups there would not be any more of the ISMS issues in the world. The discussion going on in the classroom would not be enough but at least it would be a great start for the children to understand the importance of tolerance. Respecting the individuals for who they uniquely are than paying attention to the differences, would create a much more peaceful environment for all human beings.

ReplyDeleteYou are already a positive role model for equity and I know you will continue to make the world a better place for the children you work with. Your influence is like a ripple in the water - ever expanding.
I like your poem of encouragement. It is great to hear that you are in agreement that it takes a team to make change. Thank you and I hope to see you in the next courses also.
ReplyDeleteVenuri,
ReplyDeleteIt is very important to make children know that we not in the classroom to disappoint them but to provide opportunities for them to reach their fullest potential. The knowledge gained from the course should help us examine and transform our understanding of children and do self reflective work to more deeply understand our own thinking, our own lives.
Thanks for your insights throughout the course!
Venuri,
ReplyDeleteOur own experiences speak of the need for equity in every area. We felt pain at times and so too children and families who are discriminated against go through similar experiences. Throughout this course our perspectives have widened. We are now in a much better position to impact society. However, we cannot do the work by ourselves, we need to get others on board, and together we will ensure that equity and social justice become a reality for all children.
