I hope that I can overcome the biases I've discovered in order to support the families, children, and professionals I work with.
I want to be able to build the relationships that are necessary for optimal growth and development.
I hope to see a change within our educational system that promotes the unity between professionals, families and children in working towards a more fair and accepting environment for all individuals.
To all my colleagues who have helped me to understand the diversity we have within our profession. For sharing with me your stories of oppression, prejudice, and unfair treatment. Thank you- for all of it has lead you to where you are now. <3
Amy your hope to overcome bias, is what everyone should want in the world. As an educator allowing us to promote unity will be awesome, because it will begin at an early age in life for the children to have a better understanding of diversity. You as well has been a great contribute on my learning within this course. I have learned a huge amount from my colleagues. Good Luck in your future endeavors in life, I know you will do well.
ReplyDeleteHi Amy,
ReplyDeleteUnderstanding our own biases is a start to overcoming them when supporting children and their families. This course along with our colleagues has helped me to better understand the biases I carry. Change can happen one educator at a time who recognizes that children deserve equality and social justice. I have learned so much from your posts and best of luck to your future classes.
Amy, overcoming biases is also a goal of mine and I hope to continue to work on that throughout my career as an educators. I love that you spoke about unity and hope to see unity within the education setting. Unity is the theme of my school for this upcoming year and we hope to build a "family" within our school. Thank you for all that you have contributed to this course!
