Time Well Spent

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.
