Wk 8, Heartfelt goodbyes...

As our time at Walden comes to an end i have been reflecting on all that I have learned and am astonished at the amount of information and knowledge i have gained and developed these several months of the program. It was a blast to work with each of you and learn from your our take on things, outlook, interpretations and insights. I greatly appreciate all the hard work you have put into your studies, interactions with fellow classmates and the early childhood profession. Each of you has done a wonderful job. Not only do I wish all of you the best in everything you do but one of my wishes for the early childhood profession is that each of you (and me) always give your best to every child we come into contact with and that you help other professionals do the same as well as become more anti-biased. 

My greatest hope for the early childhood profession is that every professional utilizes themselves to the best of their ability to educate, teach, cultivate and create children that have developed to the whole child and are anti-biased individuals that are successful individuals. Early childhood professionals can never stop learning how to best meet the needs of children and our ever changing world.

  1. Rica, once again thanks for your promptness and collaboration with so many of the assignments throughout this course. It has again been a pleasure learning more about myself through your posts. You are so right in reminding us to continue learning so that we can meet the many needs of the children while they are teaching us. Thanks and hope to be your colleague in the next course.
