Hello Everyone!
So I‘ve come to the end of yet another course, and I must say that
I have greatly enjoyed exploring the current issues and trends in the early
childhood field in our nation. While many of the truths I discovered made me
sad, I am hopeful that our nation will be able to develop the appropriate solutions
for many of these problems in time. I must say that it has also been very interesting
keeping in touch with my international contacts E. Priest and M. Rathburn. I thank them both for taking
the time to talk about less than interesting things (usually our discussions
consist of current life events, gossip and girly stuff) with an old friend. I
find that there are numerous benefits to exploring the international trends and
issues in early childhood education.
1. I have become more knowledgeable in what is going on in the
international aspect of my chosen field of study.
2. I have gained a different perspective and outlook on common
issues, and am more inclined to think” outside of the box” when considering
possible solutions.
3.
I have gained a newfound appreciation for the state of
education in our nation, and find that my outlook is not as negative as it had
been when I consider some of the crippling issues affecting children in other
nations. Essentially, I am more hopeful.
When
considering a possible goal for the Early Childhood field related to international awareness of
issues and trends and the spirit of collegial relations, it is my hope
that our nation can be inspired by other nations who are seeing success with
some of their educational initiatives. I also hope that the U.S is poised to
assist those nations who are in need of guidance and resources when it comes to
offering quality care and education to their children. In conclusion, I have
truly enjoyed being a part of this course and getting to know all of my peers.
I thank my professor for her thoughtful and constructive criticisms, and I
thank my peers for their mindful commentary.
