I have gained a magnitude of valuable resources through this
course. I am thankful for all the
insights I have been exposed to through the resources, my international contact
as well as through my Walden peers.

1. Poverty
is a growing concern in my community. I
have researched my community and learned that many families are in need of
food, clothing and shelter. More
importantly, I have gathered a plethora of ideas on how to ensure children and
families have access and knowledge of the help that is available. It is my job as an educator to ensure
children and their families are aware of help that exists. Some families may have too much pride to
admit they need help. Providing subtle
aid to families may be necessary.

2. I have learned lots from having an international
contact. I was hesitant in the beginning
to make contact and now I am so glad that I did. It is very interesting to obtain knowledge
about an education system across the country and learn that their struggles are
very similar to ours here in the US.
T 3. The web resources that I have begun to follow
have truly enriched my profession as an educator. I have found many websites that I have used
to train the teachers I work with as well as continue to build my own knowledge
further in the field of early childhood education.
My goal is to continue to utilize and research websites
further for my continued education and experience and to stay current with
issues and trends affecting the field.
Erika,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the multitude of resources gained from this course. The resources have been gained from class readings and from fellow students.
One of the things I have learned from this class is the importance of staying current in regard to issues and trends in early childhood. I plan to continue to use the resources from this class and use them to enhance the knowledge of the teaching staff at Head Start in Williamsburg.
I wish you well as you pursue your master's. I have truly enjoyed "chatting" with you and learning from your experience.
Dear Erika,
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job in making contacts in other countries. In fact I used your suggestion and have made some contacts of my own through social medias. I have also learned a lot about hidden poverty in the UAE and how it is addressed by the government. This course has indeed provided us with invaluable resources for our future researches and learning about the current trends regarding early childhood.
Thanks a lot of all your posts, and comments. I wish you all the best with your future courses and hope our paths cross again
