Reflecting on Learning
I can not believe that this eight weeks of wonderful learning is over. I sure have learned a lot from all of the resources and from most importantly all of you who was a part of this class. My most passionate hope for the future is to continue to work with children and their families in providing them with what ever they need to be successful, to continue to be an advocate for them, and to continue to eliminate any biases whether present or hidden. My blog's title "Educator with a Passion for Teaching" is who I am, I love what I do, I am motivated to do what I do, and I am passionate about what I do. I believe that if you do not have a passion for working with children and their families it will hinder what you need to do for them. It takes a village to raise a child, meaning it takes everyone involved in the life of a child. For me this means being a positive role model and being supportive and open to things that will impact the child's life that contributes to the their well-being.
Reflecting back on the media segment, "Your Commitment to Anti-Bias Work" (Laureate Education,2011), I can recall reading several statements that I appreciated. Julie Olsen Edwards, stated that Life is filled with key decisions, decisions that change who we are and what we do, this experience at Walden will change my life forever. She also stated that keeping a circle of people who you can call, email, or write is very important. What we do as professionals is a lifetime of work, celebrating our successes is what keeps us going and makes us want to continue in doing what we do.
To all of my professional colleagues we have come to the end of another journey of wonderful learning. Some of us will continue to learn together through our Capstone, others will go in new directions, but where ever always remember to continue to dream big. To one of my favorite and wonderful Teachers, Dr. Pickens, thank you also so very much for teaching me this last eight weeks. I learned a lot from all of you.... Continue on to your next adventures I am sure they will be great!
