One hope
that I have when I work with children and families from diverse backgrounds is
always to make them feel welcome and show that I care about them and to
interested all about their war of life.
I want to be able to instill the knowledge and appreciation of other
cultures into daily practice. I look forward to understanding their culture and
developing communication strategies that respond to their specific social and
cultural needs and values.
One goal
that I would like to accomplish for the early childhood field is that we mentor
new students coming into the early childhood field on how important it is to
know children, their families and the community in which they live. We have to
ensure that they can recognize the inequalities that may occur in our schools
and make a commitment to equity in their teaching.

When I read your post I can't help but recognize an amazing opportunity. If as teachers, through our efforts to get to know a child and family, we help them to feel valued and celebrated because of their unique characteristics, we help them feel empowered and like they belong. We then have the opportunity to teach them similar skills or ways of getting to know those around the who are different than themselves so that children and families make others in the community feel valued and celebrated for their unique characteristics. Imagine what a world we would have if everyone had the skills needed to positively impact those around them by taking steps to understand and accept each individual for who they are.
