I hope that when I work with diverse backgrounds, I am able to use the material learned in this course to provide diverse family cultures with the support they might need. I also hope that children from diverse backgrounds aren’t pressured to conform to societies views of whom they should be as they grow up to become adults. In addition, I hope that all of the eight isms-racism, sexism, LGBT-ism, age-ism, religion-ism, classism, heterosexism, and ableism somehow come to an end so that diversity can be fully embraced in society.
One goal in relation to diversity, equity, and social justice for me is to consistently work on my knowledge and awareness of these topics. I want to stay current on ways to promote diversity, equity, and social justice within my daycare so that children and families will feel that diversity is respected and appreciated in the early childhood setting.
I would also like to thank all of my colleagues and Dr. Ferrari for a great course! I feel that I have learned a lot within these 8 weeks. I also feel that this course has surpassed my expectations while being very rewarding. Good luck to everyone in the future as we go on to our last class before everyone breaks off into their specific specialization. I have met so many people who share a great deal of passion for the early childhood field which is awesome. Again, thank you everyone for helping me on this journey and good luck on yours!
