During the Perspectives Diversity and Equity course I
have gained new and helpful insights pertaining to diversity, social
identities, microagressors, isms, equity, and social justices. One hope that I
have when working with children and their families from diverse backgrounds is
that they will be treated equally by everyone. Every individual should be
afforded the same opportunities as others.
One goal that I would like to see enforced in the early
childhood field regarding diversity, equity, and social justice is that every
child and their families would receive the same fair and equal treatment at all
times. As an early childhood professional I would not let bias views,
discrimination, race, ethnicity or religion hinder my ability to create a
nurturing and environment successful outcomes for all children and their
families.
I would like to thank my colleagues for the feedback they
have provided me with during the Perspectives Diversity and Equity course. I
appreciate the insight and ideas you have shared during this period. My wish
for you as a colleague is to fulfill your desires in life on your professional
journey.
You are right it is very important to treat all of our student equal and teach them how to do the same in return. If we start now by teaching them respect, we will have taught kids to be respectful to all. The Golden Rurle is one great rule of my classroom.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is important for us as teachers to want our students to have equal opportunities. They should also be treated respectfully. By learning this at a young age students will be more open and accepting of others since they will not have learned any other way to be.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to you in the future!
