A goal I would like to see set is having workshop that introduce us to these issues so that we will be better prepared when we encounter them while working with children and their family. I think its important to be on the same page because it provides a united front.
Thank you classmates its' been very enjoyable reading everyone's response' and interacting with each other. We have all learned from each other and I look forward to seeing and interacting with you'll in the upcoming classes.

HI Shakira,
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your goals. I wish more workshops were made available for ECE educators on Diversity and Culture. Great Post and best of luck to you in your future endeavors.
Shakira--I LOVE your idea of a workshop. I hope you do not mind but I am going to suggest it to my supervisor. We have done diversity training in the past but not quite as in-depth as this one. I think the most we got away from the usual thoughts about diversity (race, color, language)was to look at how people of different ages look at life today. I hope to see you in the next class.
ReplyDeleteShakira,
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed reading your blog over the time of this course getting to know you a little at a time personally and professionally. I agree with you on more training needs to be done " live training" a workshop like you suggested. People come into this field thinking " A piece of cake playing with kids, how hard is it?!" If companies would accomplish these types of trainings in workshops, more hands on especially for children with behavioral issues. Thanks for everything - I will be following you into the future.
