Time Well Spent

Three deeply felt learning’s I got from this program are:

1. Build positive relationship with the children and their families. 
2. Children, families, and the community look upon early childhood teachers as leaders.  Some qualities of a good leader: committed, respectful, trust-worthy, resourceful, reliable, influential, listens effectively, and communicates well with others.
3. Create you an ideal community of practice that share your interest in order to achieve better result of what it is you want to accomplish as an early childhood professional.

A long-term goal I have is to not only make a difference in the lives of children but also in the lives of parents that allow bias behavior to control their emotions.  I hope that with my teaching of anti-bias education they will start to respect others for who they are as well.

I would like to thank my colleagues for all of their helpful information provided to me during this course.  It has been a joy having all of you as classmates and I wish you all the success.  I hope that you accomplish all of the goals you have set.  My email address is: amjones_12@hotmail.com.   Good luck and best wishes!

To Dr. Davis, thank you for your knowledge and wisdom that you have shared with each of us.  I hope that I can one day be a great teacher such as you.  Thank you for being committed to our learning and providing us with what we will need to become great educators.  Keep doing what you do!

Couple of my favorite quotes:

You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but it you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives.

Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand.

Best wishes everyone!!
