It is my hope that all children feel nurtured, learn to feel valued, learn to accept others for their individuality, and to teach children and families how to identify prejudice and discrimination and create ways to eliminate both.
One of my goals is to create a safe, comfortable and inviting environment for all of my children and families. I will accomplish this in several ways. I will share all that I have learned regarding diversity and equity with my staff. We will learn as much as we can about the children and families. We will create an environment that combines home and school cultures. It should feel like a home away from home. Every child and family should feel welcome and comfortable in our center. We will also incorporate teaching acceptance of others and identifying and developing solutions for prejudice and discrimination into our curriculum.
I would like to thank all of my colleagues for all of their knowledge, insights and suggestions during this course. I have learned a lot from each and every one of you. I would like to wish all of you success with the next part of your journey!
Christina,
ReplyDeleteIt truly would be wonderful if we could make each and every person feel at home when away from home. Thankfully this course has definitely made us more aware of ways to do that.Wishing you the best of luck in your next course. Thanks for everything :)
