My goal within my programI hope that I can learn what I have learned throughout my coursework at Walden to better meet the needs of families in our program by listening, learning, asking and advocating for anti-bias eduction, equity and social justice, whatever my role.
One goal I have for the ECE field is that I am going to advocate more strongly that anti-bias, social justice, and equity courses be required by anyone working with children and not just a 2 hour introduction to the topic, a series that fully explores the topic.
I want to thank each of my classmates for allowing us to have a glimpse of your social identity through the course writings. Your explorations of diversity has helped me to grow as a ECE professional. Without your stories and your feedback, the fullness and richness I experienced would have been minimal. We are all in this together.
Thanks,
Brenda
I would say that is a brilliant suggestion to have anti-bias, social justice and equity courses to be a required skill by anyone who is going to be working with children. I would also strongly advocate the same as now I have to understand the importance of it. Thank you and wishing your all the best!
ReplyDeleteBrenda,
ReplyDeleteI agree that we should all aim for anti-bias classrooms.I think that it is a good idea to provide preparation programs for all educators that include training for a diverse classroom. I wish you well in your journey Brenda.
