Reflecting on Learning

 

I learned a lot about myself and the best strategies that I can use in my classroom to become a better and more effective anti bias educator. I hope to be able to apply all what I have learned in my classroom and to partner with families so they can help me plan a curriculum that makes them and their children visible and valued in each activity or lesson. Simply, all what I hope for is to make children feel pride of who they are and feel at home in their early childhood program.

We are in a great need for anti bias education in this changing world. We need to give children the appropriate tools and to empower them to be successful in no matter what they do in their life.

I want to thank every one of my colleagues who have given me feedback on my discussion and comments on my personal blog. My wish for you is that you will take what we have learned from this course ad all the other courses regarding anti bias education and apply it in your professional life as well as your professional life working with families and children. I wish you all the best in your last course in this master degree program.

  3. Hi Hailey,

    Thanks for the post. We have indeed worked hard to soak up all of the knowledge, skills, and strategies to be the best at what wwe do. It takes discipline to work in this field and that means that you have to know and reflect on yourself in every aspect. /thank you for contributing to the classroom discussion and blogs throughout the course.
