A hope that I have when I think about working with children and their families who come from diverse backgrounds is that we can all be accepting of each other, our cultures and values.
A goal I would like to set would be for all the Early Childhood field to embrace the project of designing global citizens. We have to start somewhere and I believe starting with our youngest citizens is the best place to start.
I wish all my fellow students a successful journey, many rewards and much happiness. I has been my sincere pleasure working and learning with you all.
Thanks!
Deb

Thank you for sharing your hopes and goals. I agree that organizing groups to become global citizens is a great idea! I was moved by some of the reading in this course on global citizens. Good luck in the future!

ReplyDeleteBeing acceptable to one another culture and background is key to working with diverse families.
Thank you for all your post, I wish you much success in the future.
Hello Deb,
ReplyDeleteTo reach the point where we can accept each other for who we are and accept the differences and the similarities would be the best gift that we can give to each other and our children. If we can get them to be accepting of each other than it can move forward from them. Then we can teach each other and they can teach the older generation how to be global citizens, and also the ones that will come after them.
Deb,
