Blog Assignment: Week 2
The topic I chose is: Diversity in the Early Childhood Field. I chose this topic because I wanted to read more about the diversity in the classrooms and how well different teachers have an effect on the child/children learning experience. Over the past 5 years, I have had so many different cultures and diversity in my Pre-K classroom and other teachers in my school have too. I am now able to work with kids who speak different languages, I’m eligible to speak to French students, Spanish students, and of course English students. I am now furthering my language to speak to Greek students and Jewish students. At my school we have 2 speech teachers on every building, they help the teachers that can’t understand parents that have different languages, and they mainly translate questions and answers. We don’t really get comments from people with different languages, but we make sure that we ask them before the conversation is over with. My school principal don’t really like us having meeting with the children, but they can come of it’s only a major issue. I think the research chart was more helpful for me because I can get a better learning/more information that I need to further the specific topic dealing with diversity. I link caught my attention, it had a conversation dealing with a parent and a teacher and they really understood each other and made a friendly bond. I also like the link that you can ask questions and put suggestions in the box, and they will email you their response in your email. If any of my colleagues need any suggestions or need to ask me some questions, you can email me and I will respond to you ASAP. Also, if they have things to tell me that I need to change or need to improve on feel free to email about that too, I’m trying to be as successful as I can in this field and try to further my education. I just would like to say this for my classmates, Work Hard, Do Your Best, its ok if you make mistakes, sometimes, just come back the next week with some BETTER!!! BELIEVE, ACHIVE, AND YOU WILL SUCCEED...

My children's school motto is "Dream, believe, achieve."
ReplyDeleteHow are you going to narrow down your research? Diversity is a huge topic! It can range from cultural background, language, age, gender, or family make-up, to socio-economic status. Sometimes we need to bounce ideas off of each other to find a defined focus.
Kudos to you for learning to work with such a wide range of families!
