I would say that a goal I have when working with children and family of diverse backgrounds would be to make each child and family feel a part of my classroom. I believe that when the family and child feel apart of a new classroom and community, all other issues will fall into place. By helpin the family and children feel a part of the class I could alos help them with issues they may have within the community, such as daycare.
Agoal I have for the early childhood field would be to have better communication for conversations for different languages. All paper work should be in the families native language .
I would like to thank all of you for a great class. I think all of our discussions were very informed and helpful. I also want to thank Mrs.Kien for all the time she put into posting directions for setting up a correct APA paper. ( they helped me a lot because I am not technology savy) Thanks again I have truly learned a lot. God Bless you all . I hope to have yall in the next class.
Joy -- great goal! I think an important aspect of making any family feel comfortable with you is communication. Without that a barrier between the parties remain.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck in your remaining classes!
Joy - I wish that all teachers cared that much. I have seen daycares that just let the new children cry in the corner because they say they are too busy to comfort them. We just moved again 2 weeks ago and my 3 year old is adjusting to yet another day care. I can tell which teachers pay attention to her and which do not by her reactions when we get to school. It breaks a mothers heart to leave her child with someone who is not caring enought o consider the childrens fears and feelings. Im glad that you have the goal of actually helping the children feel safe and secure. Thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteHi Joy,
ReplyDeleteI love your goal as well. It is important to make the families feel comfortbale in school and communication is the key to any successful relationship. Teaching is passion and most people who teach, teach for the love of children not because we make a lot of money. I agree that all paper work should be in the families native language so they can understand what is going on.
I want to also thank you for being a great person. I have had the pleasure of having you in several courses now and always enjoy seeing a familiar name. I wish you the best of luck also.
Joy, I love your goal as well. My career goal is become a memorable teacher that instills a love of learning in students. I hope to be the teacher that students say, "because of her and her love of learning, I became..." We all have a destiny, and I hope to help EVERY student reach his or hers by giving them the confidence to become what they can dream.
ReplyDeleteJoy you have great goals and aspirations and I think you are right that early childhood programs need to provide written information in their language and that all classrooms need to consider children from diverse backgrounds. I have enjoyed reading your post each week and I have been inspired by you. Best of luck in your future courses.
