Like I have stated in pervious posts, our Canadian neighbors share many of the same viewpoint, expectations, and aspirations as we do in the United States.

Getting to know International Contacts Part 3
This week I asked my international contact, Jacqueline Perry what her hopes, dreams, and aspirations are for the future of her profession. She stated that she has been in the field of early childhood education for several years and her dream is for early childhood to become more respected, appreciated, and understood. She aspires that one day all children, regardless of socio-economic issues, race, culture, and background shall be privy to early childhood education. I agree with her on this topic, and long for the day in the future.

Karen,
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to know that people in other counrties are trying to reach the same goal. Children everywhere should have a chance to reach for a better future. Thanks for sharing your information with us.
Hello Karen,
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful goal for Jacqueline to share, and I feel very strongly about our profession gaining respect and becoming more appreciated. Our job is truly difficult and most people don't believe so and I sometimes get a little sad about that because they think we just play with children all day but the responsibility is much bigger than that.
Karen,
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing to know that people in the same field as we are have the same aspirations and dreams. As we begin to unify world wide, maybe some of those dreams will come true!
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteOver the last couple of years it seems that people are moving backward on the views of early education for children. Although there is great talk of improvement to the early childhood field for children and teachers, my dream is to see such improvements earlier than later. Also in reviewing your blog and others, it is sad to know that the United States is no closer to solving problems within the early childhood field than countries that have less to no resources or funds to do so.
