One hope I have for children and families that I work with is that they are treated with the respect that they deserve and feel that they are part of an inclusive environment. I hope that the professionals that work with them look first at their strengths and utilize them in their early childhood program. One goal I would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity and social justice is that each professional participate in diversity training. My program currently has a large amount of diverse candidates and we have not been trained on how to relate and partner with these families. The expectation is that we partner with them, but we have not been given the proper training to do so.
I would like to thank everyone in the class for their blogs. I have learned a great deal from reading your blogs each week and commenting. I wish you well in all of your endeavors.
