Journeys Are Meant To Be Kept


Journeys Are Meant To Be Kept

I hope our passion as early childhood professionals and the information I have learned throughout this course about diversity, equity, and social justice make a difference in children, as well as families’ lives that come from diverse backgrounds. We should be supportive to families (all) of diversities, and norms, let’s be professionals about what we do. I cannot forget the impact of the staff lives to whom I will come in contact with, as I share the new gain information about diversity, equity, and social justice.   

          One goal I would like to set as an early childhood professional as it is related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice, is the coming together as professionals on a monthly schedule. If I had a question about the field of early childhood I should be able to write my colleagues on a blog. It can help build relationship on a professional level because of common ideas, and passions. I have enjoyed using this blog for every class at Walden, and desire to keep in contact with my new colleagues.

I would like to take this time to say thanks for sharing your stories about what happen to you as children, and how it develop you into the great professionals of enabling other children to develop today. It has been a pleasure to read your stories as well as your comments, and for that I thank you for being a part of my journey with diversity, equity, and social justice. I encourage you to continue as we all grow in the things of early childhood field. One key; “change has to begin with you if you desire to experience change” Strong, S.,( 2013). Can change begin with you?

  1. Hello Sandra-

    Your professional goal is a great one, and I admire your dedication as an educator. Writing to your colleagues within a blog setting sounds like a wonderful idea. It allows time for reflection after a full and busy day of teaching. My best ideas come to me when I'm drinking a cup of tea, in the shower, or driving from home from work. Thank you for a wonderful journey-all the best!

  2. Your post is really inspiriing. I specifically liked your statement about "change".It shows that if we truly desire change in the early childhood field we have to make a move,take stand, stand up for what is right and not sit on the fence.Every effort brings about a change and if we are dedicated and committed,our goal for children and families would be actualized.Best wishes as you embark on the next journey.
