Throughout this course, I have learned many things about myself when it comes to being an anti-bias educator. It is my hope to always treat everyone with respect no matter their race, color, religion, etc. As I continue this early childhood education journey, one goal I would like to set for the early childhood field related to diversity is for communitites to unite and work with ohters on the national level. If we want to see the full vision of anti-bias education come to fruition, then we must work with other community and national organizations to address a wide range of social and economic justice issues that affect, children, their families, and us as advocates (Derman-Sparks & Edwards, 2010).
I would like to thank my colleagues for their encouraging words, inspiring discussion posts, and hard work during this class. I have learned many things from each of you. I wish you all the best as we continue on with this journey. I hope to have you in my future classes. Good luck!!!
Hi Amy,
ReplyDeleteI like your community to national unity idea. It is just as important to help locally as it is to help nationally. The problem of biased education is universal. Uniting and working for the same purpose could get things done faster, united we stand, divided we fall could a way to look at it. Many blessings as you continue on this journey!
You are exactly right. There is no chance for mass change if we do not start at the community level. I have enjoyed your blog and wish you luck in the remainder of your journey.
