What I Have Learned

One hope that I have for working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds is that no matter who enters my classroom environment, that they feel welcomed and valued by both myself and the rest of my classroom community.

One goal that I would like to set for the early childhood field in general related to diversity, equity, and social justice is that all children receive the opportunity to develop a positive sense of self and a healthy identity.

I would like to thank my colleagues for joining me on this journey. It has been eye opening and beneficial to my future classrooms of students. I hope that you all have experienced some growth as well, and I hope to continue our relationships into future courses and into the future. Good luck everyone!

  1. It is so important that we welcome all of the children coming into our classrooms. The children that are different already have a difficult time in the world. We have to teach the children also how to make the other children feel welcome and to also try to make friends.

  2. Jennifer, I will also use the lessons that I have learned in my own classroom from this point forward. It is also important to learn about and understand the children that are in our classrooms that also helps contribute to their positive sense of self and healthy identity. Enjoy the holidays and be safe.
