- Early childhood education is so multi-faceted. There are several aspects of this field, all of which sort of present their own issues. Thus, as we approach learning for children, each issue must be catered to from an individualized standpoint.
- Teachers. Deserve. More! Through my capstone project, I notarized my understanding that teacher compensation is a huge issue within the field. So much so that it causes other major issues such as teacher retention and lapsed student achievement.
- We have more work to do than I thought. Early childhood education is my only career choice, and I now realize that it is up to me and the rest of my colleagues to continue to advocate for the field that we love.
One long term goal that I have is to open my own center someday. This way, I can continue to advocate for the field, all while implementing new ideas that I come across that will hopefully improve the field as a whole.
To my instructor: Thank you, professor, for deepening my passion for my current efforts and to reach my career goals. You've pushed me to think beyond the magnitude of a problem and find a segmented way of solving it one step at a time. I have enjoyed my time in this course and I will definitely continue my efforts to improve teacher compensation throughout the field.
To my peers: I wish you all the greatest luck in your future endeavors! Please continue to remember we all have been blessed with an opportunity to be a blessing to others...and this degree will solidify that. I appreciate all of your wonderful feedback and encouragement throughout this course. I appreciate you all! CONGRATULATIONS!

ReplyDeleteHi Shabrika,
ReplyDeleteYou and I have had several courses together over the duration of this master's program. It is crazy think that we are turning the page to another chapter of our professional lives. Just like you one of long term goals that I actually forgot to mention in my post was that of opening my own school-age program first in local rural communities and then expand nationwide. This has truly been an amazing opportunity and blessing. I truly wish you the best in all of your future endeavors! Take care.
Sincerely,
Kelysha
