1. I chose this specialization because I realized that I am passionate and dedicated to children and families. I realized many years ago that there are many families that do not know their rights or options when it comes to their children's early education. I hope to open my own child development center and give families the tools they need and experiences that they will carry with them throughout their child's edcuational experience. I want them to take with them a lifelong experience that they'll pass on to their children so that their children can continue to pass it own. Public policies play a major role in how children from poverty stricken families are served and families need to be involved in how these policies will affect them and their children.
2. Becoming an advocated in the field of early childhood is essential because there is a need for people to intervene when it comes to how our children are receiving their education before they enter school. They need teachers who understand the importance of early education and how to provide valuable edcuational experiences for not only young children but their families as well. Many people do not understand that families also need to be involved in their child's educational experience in oder for it to be effective and meaningful to children. Advocating for positive educators who understand and are willing to implement strategies that are effective for families.
3. One goal I have is to learn policies that will help me to effectively support to children and families with special needs and who are poverty stricken.
Another goal is to become a more effective advocate for this issues that parents face when trying to obtain a better education for their young children.
A third goal would be to advocate and provide community based support for those children who are poverty stricken but may not be in childcare and still need to have the skills necessary to succeed when they enter Kindergarten.
