What I Have Learned

  One hope that I have when I think about working with children and families who comes from diverse background is that we are all treated as equals deserving respect and acceptance.

One goal that I would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice is to ensure all early childhood professionals are equipped with the necessary tools to provide an anti-bias environment for all children.  If the teachers are not properly trained; how can we expect them to be positive role models for children, families, and the surrounding communities?

A special "Thanks" to Dr. Dartt and my colleagues for sharing a wealth of knowledge and insight based on your own personal experiences.   I wish you continued success throughout your forever exciting and challenging careers.  Happy Holidays to all!!
