My professional Hopes and Goals.

When I think of diversity, equity and social justice what comes to my mind is creating a society that is free from biases, unfair treatments , a conducive place where all humans can get equal treatments’ irrespective of their race, gender, abilities, social economic statue, sexual orientation and culture.

One hope that I have when I think about working with children and families who come from diverse background is creating a society that will be able to tolerate every individual irrespective of their economic statue, race, sexual orientation abilities, age and culture. A responsive society that will include all in all aspects of life, respecting every individual’s differences and appreciating the qualities that exist among us

One goal I would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice is inculcating in the young children under our care the importance of tolerance, respect just treatment to everybody we come across and accepting people irrespective of their abilities, age or racial identity. I feel these are like virtues we need as human beings to keep us going where ever we find ourselves. Bringing up children is not an easy task but collaborating with one another to get the job done is what we owe each other as early educators. So with our burning desire/passion, we will be able to get there, because we know what the outcome will be when we eventually get there.
