One of my hopes in working with children and families of other diversities is to make them feel welcomed and appreciated. I think that it is important that we make children feel accepted wherever they go. I plan on doing this by interacting with my colleagues to gain insights about cultures I may not be familiar with and to find ways to include these families into our learning environment.
A goal I have is to teach children that we are not all the same, but that being different is okay. I think that we need to start with our youngest children first and teach them about different cultures. For me, learning about the "ism's" during the course, demonstrates a lack of education on other diversities. By educating youngsters, we may be able to make a difference in years to come where we won't have any or at least minimal prejudices and biases.
To all my colleagues I want to say thank you for all your correspondences and opinions. I have learned so much from each one of you. I look forward to having more courses with you in the future. Good luck with all your endeavors!
