When I think about working with children and families who
come from diverse backgrounds I hope that I can make a difference in their
lives and help them to feel comfortable and welcomed. I hope that I can learn to discuss the diversity within the
classroom without offending any particular group or persons. I hope I can be an anti-biased educator
that leads children to become accepting and equitable people in society.
One goal I would like to set for the early childhood field
related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice is that each child
has the ability to receive an equitable education. I hope that children can feel respected and equal regardless
of economic status, culture, and gender (just to name a few).
I would like to thank my colleagues for being open and
honest when sharing personal experiences of discrimination and struggles with
equity. It has helped me learn the
value of collaboration and sharing experiences. I have learned so much from each colleague and will continue
to lean on others ideas and values to expand my knowledge of diversity.
