Words of inspiration and motivation


A few quotes from Bill Clinton are as followed:
"When we make college more affordable, we make the American dream more achievable."

"It turns out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics, because discrimination, poverty, and ignorance restrict growth, while investments in education, infrastructure and scientific and technological research increase it, creating more good jobs and new wealth for all of us."

These two quotes give insight on how President Clinton feels about both education and poverty. During his president he made sure all people are able to succeed, and that nothing could stagnant them and keep them down.

Some quotes that Susan Bredekamp are famous for:

"Children benefit most from teacher who have the skills, knowledge, and judgement to make good decisions and are given the opportunity to use them."

"The fact that not only do you have to consider children as individuals, but you also have to consider children as members of groups with their own cultural identities."

The quotes from Susan Bredekamp describes her as a person who has the interest of the child first at heart. Her quotes make statements towards teachers that encourage them to be for the child and put forth their best, and the student will do their best. 
From the video from week 2,  the quotes are from Mrs. Louise:
"The reason the children were not succeeding had nothing to do with their innate intelligence, but the fact that they needed the tools to learn to survive and thrive in a public school system. "
"The preschool years are critical, they are the first most fundamental period were children are noticing who they are and the stereotypes. "
Her first quote speaks on her work with the children in Headstart who were not succeeding, becasue of the environment they were inm which did not have the tools needed to become successful. The next quote comes from her research as an early childhood educator in which she researched preschool children.
