When I reflect on my collegial, professional learning community I think of all of the support and encouragement I have received throughout my experience. The feedback I receive from my colleagues and fellow students has given me better insights and understanding of the issues and challenges that the early childhood faces. I have a better understanding of the impact I can have on the early childhood field as an advocate. I have learned that we are not alone in our fight for quality, funding, and better services for young children and families.
One of my goals is to use my collegial experience to inspire my advocacy in the early childhood field. I plan to continue to draw from the support and experiences of those I have worked and studied with to assist me in advocating for better quality services for all children. I believe all young children and their families have a right to high-quality childcare and education. I hope to continue to connect with my fellow students even after our program has ended. You have all been a great source of inspiration, hope, and encouragement to me throughout my program.

ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed sharing with you as well. I told you before, I felt especially drawn to your posts because of our Head Start bond. It has been great reading your posts and interacting with you. I hope to maintain contact with you after our program is done as well.

ReplyDeleteI believe that we have all learned from one another. All the encouragement , ideas , amd positive criticisms have been of great help to me too. This class has given me better understanding of what each State is doing to provide quality education for all children.

ReplyDeleteI love that you used the word "empower" in relation to this blog assignment! I truly do feel empowered after taking this course and learning about so many success stories. We all need to continue to encourage each other and spread the word on the importance of advocacy within the early childhood field. Happy New year to you!
