Final Thoughts on Culture and Diversity

One hope that you have when you think about working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds One hope that I have in regards to working with children and families from diverse backgrounds is that I am able to accommodate their needs to the best of my ability. I want every child in my class to feel valued and important. I also want their families to know that I respect them and want the best for their child, no matter what our differences may be. One goal you would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice My personal goal regarding the Early Childhood field is to be a role model amongst my peers on issues of diversity and culture. I would like to adapt a classroom model that accepts and accommodates families of varying cultures and family structures. I will make sure to lead by example in hopes that others will follow my lead and also make culture and diversity a key component to their classroom curriculum, classrooms and everyday lives. A brief note of thanks to your colleagues I would like to thank my colleagues for all of the great comments and inspirational blog posts. I hope that all of my colleagues have learned as much from this course as I have. Good luck in your future courses and careers as teachers!
