WOW…..I can’t believe that this season of our lives is coming to a close. In some ways it feels just like yesterday that we started this journey and in other ways it feels longgggggg. I am so proud of us, we have conquered this program, having gained significant knowledge and renewed passion for the work. I want to thank each of my professors for their support and wisdom. To my peers I want to say GREAT JOB, way to finish strong. I have learned so much from your experiences, dreams and passion and I will miss seeing those ‘oh so familiar’ names on my computer each day. I wish you all well and great success on your path to bring social change to early childhood.
Three important things that I have learned:
1) Leadership can advance or destroy early childhood programs and services. I have learned the value of knowing what kind of leader I am.
2) Understanding the importance of research and its purpose in big picture of early childhood. I am no longer afraid of research and data, because I have an understanding and appreciation for its use.
3) Community’s of Practice are a necessary entity to advance our missions and visions re: early childhood. We must utilize them and prioritize them.
My long term goal: To continue my learning and share my experiences and knowledge with under grad college students. (I was offered the opportunity to teach EDUC 222- Early childhood curriculum II, at a local community college).
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
