One hope I have when I think about working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds is for everyone to respect each other, take the time to learn before judging, and to embrace differences. I hope that in the early childhood field that education and curriculum become more well rounded; introduce and explain different cultures and diversities and give children real world experience.
Thank you to my colleagues for having the courage to share their stories and experiences, challenge each other and myself, and take the initiative to make our world a more tolerant place. Good luck in the next leg of your educational journey!

Amber,
I agree that it is important as an educator to teach students to learn about others before making judgments. People tend to jump to conclusions about other people before truly taking the time to get to know them. Good luck in this final week and during the rest of your program!
