Professional Hopes and Goals
One hope I have in working with children and families is that my classroom will be a safe place for them and they will feel accepted by me. I hope that not only will they learn from me but I will learn from them and about them.
One goal I would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity and social justice is that everyone in this field should take some sort of anti-bias course and refresher courses throughout their career. In so doing we would all be more aware of diversity and equitable practices.
I would like to thank all my colleagues for sharing their stories, encouragement, comments and advice. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Hi Karina, I too believe that all who are in the field should be educated about anti-bias whether it be through a course or from others working with them. Although eventually they will have to be updated on what they learn, But all in all an occurrence of learning about anti-bias and a continual update must take place in the professional lives of early childhood educators.
