It is my hope that children and families from diverse backgrounds are treated equally and with respect. I want everyone to feel comfortable about who they are, their family background, and learn to eradicate prejudices and biases that are hurtful and unwarranted. My one goal related to diversity in the field of early childhood is to foster diversity in my program by way of curriculum, materials, music, literature, arts, and social play.
I would like to thank ALL of my colleagues for sharing their insights and demonstrating their growth over the weeks of this course. This course was insightful and makes me feel good about educating young children and working with diverse families. Please share all that you have learned with your friends, family members, community, and colleagues. Please stand up for anyone that is mistreated. Microagressions, prejudices, and , are learned behaviors and can be unlearned.
Dana,
ReplyDeleteIt's important that educators teach what they have learned to colleagues. We all must stand up for children and families who are mistreated. I wish all the best Dana!
