Professional Hopes and Goals

  • One hope that you have when you think about working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds
One hope that I have when I think about working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds is that they feel welcome and visible in my classroom.  I hope that I can embrace the vision of anti-bias education and make it a prominent part of my teaching. 
  • One goal you would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice
One goal that I would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice would be that anti-bias education is embraced and made evident in classrooms to promote diversity, equity, and social justice. 
  • A brief note of thanks to your colleagues
I would like to thank everyone for sharing their thoughts and ideas during this course on diversity.  I have enjoyed reading many of your blogs and I am looking forward to continuing to share ideas.  Also thanks for all the comments I have received throughout this course!

  1. Jodi,
    Throughout the course I enjoyed sharing ideas as well as insights related to diversity, equity and social justice with you. I see similarities within our goals to embrace these components within the early childhood education field to provide children and families not only GREAT, but GREATER opportunities to learn about each other, from each other. I believe as well as other educational professionals do with considering this a lifelong journey of learning. I wish you the best as you continue on your educational path.
