What I have Learned

I have learned quite a bit about bias and how to handle such things through this course.  I have also learned a lot about myself and how bias can cause damage to young children.  I have also learned how healthy strategies and awareness can alter children's paths for the better...Out of all these lessons that I have learned I have one hope, one goal, and many thanks to give....


One Hope…
               
             My hope is that healthy diversity becomes the “norm” and bias becomes obsolete.  I think as humans we will always have traits of jealousy, envy, negativity…but we can also have gratitude, love, and positive mentality.  My hope is that the diversity that is already among us become what it should be, which is---life.  I want my students, my family and myself to embrace diversity and discover the wonderment of all human life.

One Goal…
                
             One goal that I have for early childhood field involving diversity, equity and social justice is that strategies and proper rules continued to be placed so equality comes fairly and justly.

Thank you…
                
               I want to tell all my colleagues that have taken the time to read and respond to my posts and blogs Thanks!  I also want all my colleagues to know that I appreciate their time and effort they placed in writing their posts and blogs.  All your sharing has furthered my knowledge and understanding more than you know!

  1. Deana,

    I looked up synomyms for obsolete because I thought that was a powerful word to use for describing your hope for the future of bias. Bygone, extinct, outdated - could be exchanged for obsolete - all describe a justified future for bias, I agree!

    I have enjoyed your contributions. Thank you for widening my horizons.

  2. Hi Deana,
    You have a powerful post! I agree with Suzanne-I love how you chose to use the world obsolete. I know that this is a huge task, but we can impact the children and families we work with, who will then impact future generations! Thanks for your insight in this course. Best wishes!
