Professional Hopes and Goals


-          I HOPE that the needs of  all children and their families are met and that every educational institution work towards this hope through achieving cultural competence.

-          MY GOAL FOR THE EARLY CHILDHOOD FIELD related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice is to learn the culture of children and their families; truly understand disability, ethnicity, gender, poverty, and race; and examine personal biases, and judgments.

-          THANK YOU Dr. Rosalie Parrish for facilitating my learning in regards to “Perspectives on Diversity and Learning”. You helped me to go beyond surface knowledge and to think critically as a scholar practitioner. You also exemplified course content by seeking to understand your students’ backgrounds (my background). Colleagues…. YOU All ARE AMAZINGLY AWESOME!!!! Thank you for the reflective collaboration and conversations via the University’s Portal. I am grateful because you all extended my learning as well.

  1. It has indeed been a rewarding last 8 weeks and I share with you that every educational institution work towards achieving cultural competence, social justice, and embracing diversity. We all have so much to share and I feel that if we could come together as humans, we could do so much more to make learning more equitable and just for all children. It has been a pleasure reading your posts and blogs and you sharing your comments, encouragements, and motivations. I pray God's richest blessings for you as you continue to open doors and do great things in life. As we continue on this journey to graduation, let God continue to use you in enlightening your students and teaching them about equity and equality.
