Professional Hopes and Goals

One hope that I have working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds is to be remembered  as the teacher who treated them fair, with respect, took time to get to know them and did all she can to help them. One goal I would set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice is to stay educated about all of these issues. I have to be a role model for children in order to motivate them I must be educated on diversity and social justice. Things that I don’t know I have to be willing to ask questions to those who may know the information. My goal is to continue to help children and their families in every capacity that I can regardless of their diverse background. I will always be open, have a positive attitude and make sure I incorporate different cultures throughout the classroom; I will do this to make all families feel welcomed in the class. The goal that I have professionally is to complete graduate school and start teaching at a community college.  

I can’t believe this class is over already, this past 8 weeks has been informative and I would like to say thank you to all of my colleagues who have shared post on their blogs and discussion boards. I have enjoyed and learned so much from all of the classes I’ve been enrolled in at Walden University. I look forward to sharing more discussions and blogs in the coming weeks and months. I don’t know when any of my colleagues graduate but I believe I have 4 classes left. I wish each and every one of you the best of luck on this journey to complete graduate school.
