Let me start by saying I can’t believe I am at the
end of my Master’s educational journey. Time really does fly. I have learned so
much from all the instructors and courses I took. I feel I have grown
professionally as well as personally. Each class was so informative and
inspiring to say the least.
One deeply felt learning from this program has been
learning about diversity and how to include every child. The anti-bias
curriculum has been very inspiring. The inclusion of every child is something I
now look for when I visit classrooms.
Another deeply felt learning is learning about the Community
of Practice. It is very important to work with others who share your goals and
passions. When we work together there is so much that we can accomplish.
Lastly, another deep felt learning has been (although
early childhood education has improved) there are still many issues that need
to be resolved in the early childhood education field. There are still children
who are not receiving a quality education.
A long term goal is to continue including all
children and families in the classrooms. It doesn’t matter what grade I teach,
I will ensure everyone is included (culture, ethnicity, race, disability,
etc.). Another goal is to continue my education because I want to ensure I have
done all I can to assist every child and to ensure they receive a quality
education from a qualified teacher.
To Dr. Dartt, thank you for all the feedback and the
inspiration. I have learned so much from you in this course and previous
courses I took with you. You pushed me to do better and I saw myself growing
from this. You and the other instructors are the reason I am able to do what I
do.
To my colleagues, thank you for reading and responding
to my discussion questions and blogs. I enjoyed reading all your discussion
questions and blogs as well. I learned so much from all of you. I cannot believe
it is really the end. I wish all of you the best in the future. Let’s take care
of our children.
