Professional Hopes and Goals

1.      

One Hope….

My hope is that one day everyone can come together as one, and not judge because of age, size, class, and color. After all these decades we are still struggling with this battle.

One Goal….

As an educator, I want to be able to engage in regular, structured, and collaborative group sessions to discuss topics’ students choose, with opportunities to examine new information, reflect on their practice, or access and analyze outcome data.

Special Thanks…

Thank you, to all my course-mates for all of your support, comment, and feedback throughout this course. Everything was really appreciated. Again Thank You, J

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New YearJ

Welcome Families

I just receive notice that a student from the country Denmark will be joining my classroom. Before the arrival of her and her family I need to prepare for the arrival.  First, I would research about the country of Denmark. I would also learn about many country traditions and holidays. Trying to learn some basic greetings by the way of Denmark would be insightful. Next, I would research about many common family traditions, religions, beliefs, and values. After concluding these findings, I would create a around world section into classroom. Children would become enrich with many other countries around the world. I would also include different items that represent the country Denmark throughout the classroom.

These preparations will allow this child to become comfortable by having piece of her own country. I want to be able to provide a sense of security for each child regardless of where they came from. Being apart of something is very important for children and their families.

The Personal Side of Bias, Prejudice, and Oppression

.

Over the years I have witness and experienced many incidents of bias, prejudice, and oppression. Being that I am a very young, many of family judge me as not suceeding in life. When I first decided to go to college, every one thought I was joking. Many people look at me as wanted to go to college to party and not get an education. I was at a stage in my life, where I wanted to make a diiference. After this indicident I was more determine than any thing. I graduated with a degee and cum laude. I am very proud of my self. Being set out like that could hurt anyone standard but it only push me harder. I would often back to those people and show them what I have accomplished. If I was the type of person to just set there and listen to them, I woould probably be in some local factory today. I am glad thst I am very strong minded about my goals in my life.
