The one hope that I have when working with children and families from a diverse background is that they are all given a chance and opportunity to learn. I want these children and their families to be treated the same as kids from a more privilege background who may have better resources and people to help them. I hope that the educators will not show them any bias and they will treat them equally and fairly and help them to develop the self-confidence to handle any situation that they may encounter. I wish that early childhood leaders and instructors will pay more attention to the fact that diversity is something that is not going away. People of all types, groups, colors, and blended families are having kids, teaching, and opening day cares, so more laws and rules need to be made so that some of these children and families will not be made to feel like they are outcasts and treated different because of their diversity.
To my classmates, good luck and god sped, it has been a pleasure to get to know you through our blogs and discussions post. I enjoyed seeing pictures of your family and home life. I hope that you complete this course and get your degree and make all of your dreams come ture.
Joanne,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy that your hope for children and families from diverse backgrounds is equity and the opportunity to receive the same educational experiences regardless of their resources. This has been a huge point made in this course as well as some others I have taken where diversity is the main topic. Good luck in all your future goals and in your educational journey.
