It is time to
finally say thank you. Our journey is at an end.
To my colleagues, thank you for
being inspiring early childhood educators.
Your passion, knowledge, caring, and commitment are markers for my own continuous
improvement.
To Dr. Teri, thank you for your exceptional
teaching. I smiled at your light
heartedness, and craved your feedback for it was insightful and challenging. I am so very glad that I was one of your
students, and was able to benefit from your stellar instruction.
My future work will be guided by a sustaining goal to be an
advocate for play for children. Another
long-term goal is to stay abreast of current research in the field of early childhood
education.
As I look back upon
this degree program, three things stand out as having made an impact on me.
First, as an early
childhood educator, I am obligated to be an advocate for children.
Next, the promise of
childhood makes it a unique time in our life cycle which should be cherished
and safeguarded.
Last, early childhood
educators put in place the building blocks for a child’s lifelong love of
learning.
What a nice post Allison - your statement that childhood should be cherished and safeguarded includes my views as well. So critical for us adults to understand that.
ReplyDeleteMy best wishes to you!

Allison,
ReplyDeleteI have shared numerous times how I think you are taking on an excellent goal. I would love to 'see' early childhood return to play instead of practice and drill for testing purposes. As your new center opens and the next chapter of your career begins I wish you all the best. Thank you for all you have shared with me throughout this course.
