Professional Hopes and Goals

          For children and families that have diverse backgrounds, I hope that they will get the justice and support that they deserve.  I hope that they are treated equally one day.  All families no matter their background, they deserve to be treated just as other families are treated.  One goal I would like to set for the early childhood field is that all early childhood programs would train their staff to be educated on diversity, equity, and social justice.  All early childhood professionals need to be educated on these matters because every child is different and in order to provide the care that the child needs, their teacher needs to know how to respect the diversity of each child and their family. 
          I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to all of my colleagues for helping me through this past eight weeks.  I have enjoyed learning with and from all of you.  I wish you all well as you continue on your journey at Walden and then beyond.  I hope maybe to have you in some future classes!! :)
