Learning’s
One of the deeply felt learning that I gained from
this program is that we have to know who we are and listen to the critique and
suggestions of others. Janice Keyer
states that we have to grow and learn who we are (Laureate Education,
Inc, 2011) . I believe in order to be truly honest, we
have to dig deep into our own minds and hearts. We have to acknowledge our
strengths and weakness. Sparks-Derman and Edwards (2010) stated that
“we all need the diverse perspectives and honest feedback of peers to expand
our understanding of ourselves” (p.21). We live in a diverse world and we have
to be knowledgeable of the bias and discriminations that are in this
world. Our knowledge will help us to be
better anti-bias educators.
The second deeply felt learning that I gained from
this program is that you have to be passionate and you have to be a
leader. The knowledge that I have
learned from the courses in this program will serve as guidance for me through
my professional career.
The third deeply felt learning that I gained from
this program is that respect is the key to success. You have to be respectful toward yourself,
colleagues, parents, and most of the children that you serve. Throughout this program each course placed
emphasis on respect.
Goals
At least one long-term goal is to continue to work
on my challenge and achieve the goals that I have listed within my response
toward my identified challenge of helping children within my community have
access to developmental appropriate materials.
I want my challenge to be successful because I know that it will benefit
the developmental outcome for young children.
My long term goal is to implement the actions that I
have designed toward my goal and work effectively with my Ideal Community of
Practice to be successful.
Goodbyes
Dr. Davis it was an honor to have taken this final
course under your guidance. I will
greatly miss your critique and suggestions, as well as your compliments and
encouragement to do better. Dr. Davis
you were not just a great instructor, but you are a great role model. As I pursue, my career I hope that my
students can admire, respect me, the way that I look up to you. You were a great instructor in the building
research course and I can say the same about you now. To my colleagues, thank
each of you for your support and assistance.
I learned a lot from each of you from your blogs and discussion posts
and it is one of the reasons why I will miss each of you. We all had a vision
about this field and I hope that you all accomplish that vision. You all were
very professional and kind in your comments.
I know that you all are passionate about the early childhood field;
therefore I know each of you will make a remarkable impression in this field. I wish you all great success as you journey
into your new career paths or excel in your previous jobs.
