I feel I have learned so much
from this program through Walden. I never realized the depth to which my eyes and
mind would be opened when I entered this program. A few things I feel that have
impacted me the most have be the anti-bias work, the importance of advocating
for what you believe in, collaboration and communication with not only
professionals in the field, but with families, business leaders, and people
from around the world, and finally using research to support information you
provide. I have found that all of these things make me a better person and
professional.
One long term goal I have for
myself is to implement a parental involvement program at our school. I feel
that we need something that can boost our parent involvement while helping
staff members and families understand that we can support each other.
I would like to thank all of my
colleagues and professors, especially Dr. Dartt, for their support,
encouragement, feedback, and general well wishes throughout this course. I am
so glad to have met all of you and work together with you to achieve my Master’s
in early childhood education. I wish you all the best and hope that we can
continue to stay in contact in the future. We have made some great partnerships
and friendships over the past year and a half!
One of my all time favorite quotes... It's hanging on my wall at my desk.

Wonderful post Caitlin! I like the idea of improving parental involvement, when parents get involved they are inspired to advocate and children are inspired to learn. The partnerships and friendships that we have made have been very uplifting. Happy Holidays and good luck.
