Reflecting on Learning

The most passionate hope for my future as an early childhood professional, and for children, and families with whom I work or will work with are to build positive relationships with all young children and their families. These relationships include respect, honesty, trust and understanding culture differences. All children are created whole, endowed with innate, with dignity and wonder, and worthy of respect (Derman-Sparks & Edwards, 2010). In order to become an effective anti-bias teacher, I will go deeper into liberation in order to help young children to over- come thoughts of biases they might have. Early childhood teachers should have faith that all young children deserve the opportunity and resources to fulfill their potential goals in life (Derman-Sparks & Edwards, 2010).
