Three consequences of learning about the international early childhood field for my professional and personal development would be as follows:
1) I learned that other countries put more importance on early childhood education than we do.
2) Gender inequality is an ongoing issue in many countries and not enough is being done to rectify this situation. Mindsets have to change which is very difficult.
3) Economics really drives what is being done around the world especially when it comes to our most vulnerable children.
One goal I have is to keep informed about issues. One issue that really resonated with me was gender inequality. I hope to learn more and at least be able to find an organization I can support financially that is doing a good job trying to change this.
To all my colleagues, congrats on all of your hard work and dedication. Good luck to all of you.
Johan,
ReplyDeleteYour blogs and discussion posts have been a pleasure to read. I have learned quite a bit from them, and I thank you for that. I've read of few final blogs and we all agree that the United States does not put the focus on early childhood that other countries do. Hopefully we will see a change as we progress in this program.
Johan!
