Dear Colleagues,
We have finally
reached the finish line of this course. I am very thankful for all of the
responses and feedback I received from all of you. I wish everyone good luck on
their journey in this program. Once again, thanks for the support!
3 Consequences of learning about the international early
childhood field for my professional and personal development:
1. I learned so
much from listening to the podcasts and visiting websites concerning early
childhood education in other countries. I am now more aware of more
organizations that are helping young children.
2. I have learned
that no matter how bad a situation, if you put your mind to doing something
great (especially for the benefit of children) you can achieve anything!
Several people from the podcasts proved this to me.
3. I have learned
never to take things for granted. There are people all over the world in situations
that are out of their control. We can only continue to hope for change unless
we take a big step and start helping.
1 Goal for the field related to international awareness and trends
and the spirit of collegial relations:
I would like to actually make contact with some international
people and organizations. It was frustrating not to hear back from anyone, but I
will continue to try. Maybe I will look into contacting other international
professionals. I am glad we were able to find out about the EC field in other
countries.
I think the job ahead of us is a huge responsibility. It seems to me that you are just as committed as I am to changing lives for the better. As you already know, it takes a village. Good luck in the future!
ReplyDeleteSo true! Thank you, Lolita!
DeleteBest wishes,

Ashley,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your interesting posts and interesting feedback. Lolita is right. The job ahead of us is a huge. Now that we have fully explored the issues in the ECH field we are obligated to collaborate to resolve them beginning in our locale. You are certainly right in saying that "if you put your mind to doing something great (especially for the benefit of children) you can". Just imagine what can happen when we allow our minds to work together.
All the best Ashley!!
Hi Ashley,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your thoughts and goals. I have enjoyed learning with you and reading what you have shared; through the in class discussions as well as this blogging stuff. You are quite right in that no matter how bad or challenging a situation appears to be by relying on God's strength my faith I am able to meet the difficulty head on and find a resolution. I know that as I continue to further my education I will find myself more qualified to provide early childhood education and care for the children I am entrusted with. I hope I will be able to be a shining light for those in need. Take care and may God's blessings be with you and your family.
Hi Ashley,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your thoughts and goals. Thank you for posting wonderful blogs each week, the time was well spent.
Hello Ashley,
ReplyDeleteIt has been a pleasure to read your opinions and experiences for yet another course. Throughout this course I have truly gained an appreciated for the early childhood field and the rights that we have in the U.S. Many countries are struggling to educate their children and it is good to know that there are international early childhood professionals who are focusing their efforts and resources to improve the lives of children in their countries.
Hi Ashley,
ReplyDeleteI have thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts this class. You always have strong insights and great views on the assignments in class. I too would love to get in touch with international contacts and perhaps one day travel to these under developed countries and lead their EC programs. Great work and thanks for the comments!
Hi Ashley,
ReplyDeleteMANY blessings to your future success on this journey. I was not successful at connecting with any of the contacts I tried for this course, I would like to try that again as well. Learning how connections can be made outside of the U.S is a great way to travel without leaving the comforts of your home. Good Luck!
