Throughout this course, Issues and Trends in the Early Childhood
Field, I have become aware of various consequences about the international
early childhood field that have contributed to my personal and professional development. First, I feel compelled to collaborate with
other early childhood professionals to advocate for children and their families
who are being affected by various issues that affect the development of
children during early development. Second,
I feel grateful that I reside in the United States of America even through we
still have much work ahead of us to address the issues of inequities in field
of early childhood development. Many
countries that I have researched throughout this course are struggling to deal
with higher levels of poverty and inequities that they are nowhere near
addressing early childhood development.
Third, I feel compelled to save money and travel to another country as
an attempt to provide quality learning experiences to a few children and their
families. Maximizing a few children’s
learning experiences is better than none.
Hence, the reason I strongly believe that we as early childhood professionals
can change children’s quality of life one at a time.
Trinese,
ReplyDeleteI agree that you can make a difference one child at a time, or family. Good luck with your plan to save money and travel to another country. It would be very exciting to me to be able to do that. Thank you for all your feedback and insights throughout this course.

Love that you are potentially looking to travel the world! I am really considering getting my doctorate and going to Norway to study their phenomnal early childhood program to start a pilot program here in the United States. Good Luck in your future endeavors!
ReplyDeleteThat is great that you want to go to another country and help out! I wish I had the strength to do something like that but I just could never leave my family for a long period of time. I can't even imagine how rewarding that must be to be able to do that though. Best of luck to you! I hope you are able to do that!
