Reflecting on Learning

My most passionate hope for the future is to create a place that fosters learning for all children no matter their race, family condition, ability, etc. I love all children no matter whether they are challenging to work with or easy. Nothing is more frustrating to me than being confronted with biases that exclude children. To me, each child deserve a good education. Yet, I often hear from teachers and parents that a child with challenging behaviors is better off not being in a classroom or that content needs to be watered down because children with special needs are in the classroom.

I want to thank all my fellow students for their insights during this class. It is refreshing to hear that there are others working in the field of early childhood education that are concerned about including all children. I think if we keep advocating for the children and families that we work with, we will be able to make a difference.
