One goal that I have when working with children and families from diverse backgrounds is to welcome them into the educational system, the classroom, and the community, and I will become an advocate for diversity in both the educational system and my community by being responsive to my student's needs and their family's members needs and values by teaching people to respect, value, and celebrate diversity.
One goal of social justice, equity, and diversity is to equip my students, my students' family members, my colleagues, and my community to recognize and challenge our racial, homophobia, sexist, and ageist bias towards different groups of people because they do not look like us. I will advocate for children to have the right to learning opportunities which will help them achieve their full potential and for the children to become engaged learners and valued members of society.
My colleagues, I have valued your feedback from the discussion that we have had in this course. We have shared personal experiences which has shaped us for the person that we have became today. I have valued the diversity of my colleagues and your insights and thoughts, and Dr. Dassa your feedback and guidance in this class has been invaluable and insightful.
Your blog post is very enlightening. Thank you for sharing so much during this course, i learned a lot from your personal experiences in the classroom at the same time picked up a lot of values on your personal stories.
ReplyDeleteLarry,
ReplyDeleteI have always enjoyed reading your take on the topics we have studied throughout this course. I think children and families would appreciate a welcoming environment where they feel safe and heard. I wish you all the best as you complete this program.
