When thinking about working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds, I should be more aware of their different values and cultures. Getting to know more about the families can help me a lot when setting up goals and expectations for the students. Each family is unique, and I hope I can be more open to the parents so that parents are more willing to share their values and thoughts with me as well.
One goal that I would like to set in the field is to continue to provide an anti-bias program and environment for children. I would also like to start having regular parent sessions to discuss different issues of diversity, equity, and biases so that parents can also be more aware of the influences from these topics.
I would like to thank all of my colleagues for sharing your valuable thoughts and comments on the discussion board and the posts. I have learned new ideas and gained useful knowledge by reading your discussions. Thank you again and wish you all the best for your future.
Hi Lufei,
ReplyDeleteOver the past eight weeks we have learned a lot abour anti-bias and diversity. You have set a great goal for yourself. As we continue our studies in early childhood education, we will become great advocates for our students, parents and community. Wish you the best in the future.
