Professional Hopes and Goals

• One hope that you have when you think about working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds (any format and any length)
• I hope that the children I work with that are from diverse backgrounds can feel comfortable in a new setting/environment and learning a new language. I hope that the children will be accepted from other children and shown respect for their diverse background/culture. My hope for the families is that they will come to know their child's teacher and become involved in the learning process for that setting/environment.
• One goal you would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice (any format and any length)
• Every child and family that comes from different diverse backgrounds will be treated no differently than anyone else. Working with families on behalf of their children's education will be a priority to all those involved. 
• A brief note of thanks to your colleagues
• I want to say thank you to all my colleagues in this course who have contributed to discussions and blogs regarding diversity, culture, equity, and social justice. I also want to say thank you for opening up about your personal lives, I know it wasn't easy, I appreciate your honesty. I wish and hope the best for you in future courses to come.
