Professional Hopes and Goals

When I think about working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds, one hope that I have is to create a learning environment that innovates children and families to become unique individuals beyond the differences of their physical characteristics by creating a respect, awareness,  and attitude that enhances responsiveness, positive self-esteem, and anti-bias social identities.  I believe that it is essential that we impart in the minds and attitudes of children and families with the ability and capacity to embrace our similarities and differences as a part of our natural beings before there is the opportunity to experience the micro aggressions that plague their minds, emotions, and outcomes.

One goal that I would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice is that we continue to maintain a proactive approach that dispels these issues/trends in the early learning environment.

I would like to thank my colleagues and instructor for their thoughts, expertise and experiences that has provided me with enlightenment and insight as we continue our professional and educational journey through the field of early childhood care and education and Walden U. Thank you.
