Professional Hopes and Goals
- One
hope that you have when you think about working with children and
families who come from diverse backgrounds: One hope that I have for working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds is that the school I work for takes a proactive approach to acknowledge diversity. I hope that my children and families will know that all diversity/cultures are welcome in my classroom and there will never be any bullying! I hope to create lesson plans that incorporate diversity in the classroom but that allow children to work together in many different groups. I hope to be the best teacher I can be and make my students and families feel welcome, safe, secure, and comfortable around me and in my classroom.

Hello Stacy,
ReplyDeleteIt is good to know that you want to increase participation of parents and communities when working with children. Research indicates that family involvement in schools increases students’ achievement. Undeniably, the benefits of parents and community involvement are invaluable. I wish you all the best as you embark on your new course.
Stacy,
ReplyDeleteYour hope is so well stated that it should be the hope of every teacher in the early childhood profession. I love what that you said “No Bullying!” As a veteran teacher, I’d like to adopt some of your hopes. I forgot to mention that teaching begins with lesson plans but you made sure to include creating diverse lessons. I think that is a great approach to fulfilling your hope. Good job! Thanks for being a supportive colleague.
Stacy,
ReplyDeleteYou brought up a great point about bullying! That is something that happens in every school across the world to some degree. Unfortunately, being diverse can make one a bigger target, but nobody is safe from being bullied. I think that involving parents and the community on all fronts is so very important. Good luck in your journey!
