Professional Hopes and Goals

MY HOPES

The most important hope that I have for working with children and families are that I am able to make a difference in their lives. When a student of a different culture enters my classroom, I want them to leave knowing that I cared about them and I respected them as a student as well as their diversity. When you show children who are diverse that you care and you are willing to learn about their culture and home life, it allows them to open up more and build their confidence. Many Americans do not approve of diversity, but as educators it is our duty to put children and families first and show them how important they are and that they are able to accomplish all things just as any other American.

My Goal

The one goal that I have as an ECE professional is that I make all who are victims of diversity to feel that they can trust me, and also see me as a confidant. I have reached this goal to a certain extent with my current parents. As previously stated, there are two Hispanics children in my class, one of the families has a child who has many special needs so the mother is not able to participate in many activities with school. As an educator, I make sure that keep myself in the loop with this family because it is my duty to make sure their child receives her education and also that they too receive the support that they need. Not only does this goes for the Hispanics, but for all other diversity that is in my class as well. It is my goal to show that parents that I am here for both you and your child, and the ultimate goal is that they receive the best foundation possible.

My Thanks

This term has been an eye-opener for me because it made me examine who I am as a person as well as my own discrepancies towards diversity. I would like to thank my fellow colleagues for all the encouragements, praises, and opinions that I have been on my blogs as well as my discussions. They have all been enlightenments and beneficial to my profession. Once again, thank you!!!!
