My most passionate hope for my future as an early childhood professional
is to apply all that I have learned when situations come up. I hope that I will be able to think back and
recall the details about how to foster anti-bias strategies in children. I hope to be patient and listen to families
when they voice their concerns. I hope
to help children and families think about things differently if they hold
biased beliefs. It can be difficult to
stay calm when negative views or behavior is exhibited against a person or a
group because of their differences and I hope to be able to remain calm and
speak with them in a more productive anti-biased way instead of react
defensively. For the children and
families that I work and will work with, I hope to be a trusted source of
support and I also hope to learn from them as well.
I want to say thanks to my colleagues for your stories and
insights. The most important part of
anti-bias and diversity work is learning from others. Hearing your thoughts and your experiences
has helped me see the many sides to the topics we discussed. I wish you all the best and hope to see you
again in the next course.
Hi Rosana,
ReplyDeleteI too hope to apply all that I've learned about anti-bias education in the classroom. I've only known you for a short period of time, but I think that you'll remain calm and do fine in helping your children and their families address bias and equity issues. Thank you for sharing your stories and insights. I wish you all the best in your career and future endeavors. I hope to see you in the next class as well.
