As I move forward as an early childhood professional and also to the last class of this program, I hope to be able to connect with young children in meaningful relationships. I hope to be able to learn about each child, their family, culture, and what makes them different and special. I hope to form partnerships with families, not just for the benefit of children, but to help each individual family and the community.
Each course has allowed and encouraged me to grow as a professional and I have my colleagues to thank for their contributions and questions to my blog and discussion posts. Thank you and good luck in your final course!
Robin,
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy reading what you have to say. I think it is so important to build relationships with and get to know your students on a personal level. Your are so right, this benefits both the children and their families. It is so much easier to have open conversations with families when there is a trusting and positive relationship in place. Great work throughout the course and good luck to you on our last class!
Hi Robin!
ReplyDeleteTo be a true educator requires flexibility. We must be the 'Jack of all Trades' and master of none in a sense. I guess that's what makes this job exciting! Good luck to you on your continued journey!
