The three deeply felt learnings from this program:
1. Gaining knowledge about not only how to teach and
work with children but how to include families and the communities in the
process. This program taught me what is important and that this is about the
children.
2. Learning about issues and trends in the Early
Childhood education field and how I can stay prepared.
3. Learning the history of the early childhood field, learning
to be passionate about what I do for children on a daily basis and be an
advocate for children.
These are just a few but this program have taught me
so much and I can’t wait to get my dream job to share all the knowledge I have acquired
at Walden University.
My long-term goal is to continue to do everything I
can do for children and their families, to advocate for them, to assist
families and community leaders. I will get certified by taking the Praxis exam
for the state of Louisiana. I look forward to teaching Early Childhood Studies
to adults in a community college setting as well as continue teaching at one of
the local school Districts. I will also volunteer my time to children in need
at local after school programs.
I want to thank Dr. Dartt for all the wonderful
feedback she has given me and I also want to thank all of my colleagues. Your
feedback on the weekly Blogs as well as discussions have been greatly
appreciated. This has not been an easy journey but I can finally say I made
it!! Thank you all and the best of luck to you.
