Learning about different abilities of children and how others may view individuals based on stereotypes and misguided perspectives has been a in-depth journey to understanding fully what my long term professional goals are as well as expanding on my short term goals in the classroom. Working in classrooms, I want to create anti-bias curricula that are individualized for each child but that also create a community where differences are accepted and celebrated. I hope to one day be able to help children with disabilities and learning difficulties become integrated into mainstream schools as well as society. Working with impoverished students, providing care for those who desperately need it, is a professional goal that I hope to obtain.
Thank you to those in my course who have provided support, resources, insights, and information that have encouraged me as well as provided me with greater details about aspects of early childhood, development, and incorporating anti-bias techniques and teaching into classroom dynamics.
As I get closer to completing my goal, I get more and more excited! It feels great to accomplish my goal, but to also to know there are others, such as yourself, who are just as dedicated to the field as I am. Thanks for your input over the last 8 weeks. Good luck with you future endeavors.
