My most impassionate
hope for the children, families and professional in regards to anti-bias
education would have to be one of looking beyond. Looking beyond what they see as a skin color,
a disability, and a family structure. Looking to who is this person, how can I
best serve him and what can this family teach me. Asking the questions that are hard to ask,
and patiently waiting for the answer that may have to come weeks later. That we can look at each other as being on
the same team, wanting what is best for all children. So that all children can be seen as equals
that help each other out in times of need.
I would also like to take
the time to thank all of you who have read my blog and discussion post the past
eight weeks. You have made me think
beyond my world to the large picture. I
hope as we move to our last class and capstone projects we can continue to be a
source of help and inspiration
Laury,
ReplyDeleteWe all have different hopes and dreams for the early childhood professional but the end result is still the same, anti-biased education that meets the needs of the whole child. We have to first be anti-biased ourselves and look past all the diversities before we can teach it to children. You are correctly in looking beyond. it was great learning from you. I greatly enjoyed reading your blogs and discussion posts. i wish you all the best!! See you next class hopefully!!
Laury, it is very important to continue to ask the questions that make up think outside of the obvious and our learned preconceived notions. Thanks for addressing this and look forward to working with you again.
ReplyDeleteLaury, as educators we have to do whatever possible to make sure the children needs are being met. Your comments throughout this course have been very helpful. Good luck and I hope to our discussion in the next course.
