Professional Hopes and Goals
- One hope that you have when you think about working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds
I hope that the children and their families
I serve will collaborate with the child care program. I hope they will feel
respected, understood, and trust the teachers. I also hope my bias will be
resolved and not get in the way of being a better teacher.
- One goal you would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice
One goal I would like to set is to
make it mandatory for all teachers and staff working in the early childhood
field to take a class about personal bias and multicultural education. Teachers must know and understand their bias
and all types of isms.
- A brief note of thanks to your colleagues
Thanks to all my colleagues for
sharing their personal experiences and bias with the class. Talking about this
helps us understand how diverse we are as teachers. Dialoguing also encourages support.
So thank you!
