As I reflect on this course I think one professional goal that I would like to set would be that of embracing each family as they come into my classroom. This would include taking the time to truly understand the family dynamics and what is important to the family culture. By better understanding what is important to the family and the child I will be able to better meet the needs of the whole child.
During this course I have learned a tremendous amount of information from my colleagues. Not being a minority myself I have never really taken the time to think about how this affects day to day life for so many people. Thank you for taking the time to share your personnel experiences of discrimination to allow the rest of us to grow as professionals. I truly have enjoyed many of the discussions that we have had and am very impressed at the diversities that so many of you have over come. Only through education can we change the future for our children.
