Perspectives on Diversity and Equity (EDUC - 6164 - 6) Professional Hopes and Goals

            When I think about my work with children that originate from diverse places and ethnicities, my hope is that I will be able to teach them something that they can hold onto for their lifetime.  Teachers often times feel unprepared and therefore they need the appropriate trainings to help prepare for the diverse children that will enter their classroom.  Also, teachers should perform a certain level of research to prepare their lesson plans.  Putting thought into the lesson plan allows the children to know that they were important enough to be included.  My hope is that teachers are more open minded and aware of the changes that are taking place within the early We don't want the world to pass us by, so let's start by empowering our children today. 

            One goal that I have for the field of early childhood is that we always stay committed to performing the task that is in the best interest for the child.  Also, we should stay determined to follow the vision allowing our passion to lead us.  I am fully committed to giving the children that I will serve all of me, because I realize that they deserve the best.  I am serving tomorrow's leaders and I will them to be well prepared for the world when they leave my classroom.  Some many people don't realize how important the first five years are, but once you do you will see how effective the first five years are.

            I would like to thank my fellow classmates from the perspectives on diversity and equity class.  It has been a pleasure working with all of you.  I have enjoyed reading your posts and really appreciate you taking the time to read mine.  I really wish all of you the best in your future endeavors.
