Professional Hopes and Goals

• One hope that you have when you think about working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds (any format and any length)

                               My hope is that I can make a difference in their lives-I want them to feel accepted for who they are.  

• One goal you would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice (any format and any length)

                                The goal I would set for early childhood field is to provide more resources for diversity.  I realize that they have come very far, but I think that more resources need to be readily available for parents, families, and educators in this area.  

• A brief note of thanks to your colleague

                                I would like to thank my fellow colleagues for these past 8 weeks.  I have learned much through our interactions and look forward to continued fellowship with all of you.
