What I Learned

A hope that I have for children and families from diverse backgrounds is that I can make them feel comfortable, valued and accepted in the classroom.  I hope that people I encounter and talk with can learn to put differences aside and get to know a person for who they are and not what they wear, or hiw they dress. 

A goal that I have for the ECF in regards to diversity, is to help new educators become comfortable discussing differences with children.  I feel that at the beginning, new teachers are not taught enough about diversity.  I would like to see more workshops and opprtunities for professional growth in this area.

I have enjoyed this course with all my fellow classmates.  As in the past, I feel that I have grown so much professionaly and personally through all the great discussions and sharings offered.  I look forward to having you in future courses.   God Bless you all!
