Professional Hopes and Goals

• One hope that you have when you think about working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds (any format and any length) My personal hope for children and families who come from diverse backgrounds is that they use there differences in language, tradition, and culture to an advantage to themselves, by educating those around them. I'd like to see both student and parents not becoming victims and or prisoners to values that aren't there own, rather they be able to celebrate a culture that has meaning to them. 
• One goal you would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice (any format and any length) I believe establishing diversity courses at every level professionally is beneficially to staff everywhere. Parents are able to be impacted by the knowledge learned by staff from workshops, meetings and engagement with other co workers.
• A brief note of thanks to your colleagues Thank you all for the constant encouragement during this course i wish you all a relaxing winter break and that you all come back well rested.
