What I have learned from the course Issues and Trends and my goal

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to this course, Dr. Davenna Williams, my Walden colleagues from this course, and my international contacts, who have been sharing their great thinkings and their thought-provoking insights towards related topics regarding issues and trends of early childhood field. From the past seven weeks of blog assignments, I have learned a lot from my international contacts, from the website that I chose to study, and from reading my colleagues' posts. The first consequence that I have gained is that no matter it is a developed or developing country, there exist concerning issues and trends in the early childhood field, such as poverty, diversity, inequity in care and education for children and families. In order to better improve the quality of early childhood care and education all over the world, one should make full use of resources and learn from others' advanced ideas as long as those ideas are for the good of children and families. The second consequence that I learned from my international contacts' ideas about excellence and equity of care and education for children and families is that high-quality programs definitely relate to supports from government, schools with resourses available and accessible and with adequate funds, well-trained teachers, educated parents and family involvement. The third consequence that I learn from the websites is that I should stay informed of the new issues and trends of early care and education by keeping reading the website resources that this course has offered and collecting appropriate practices and methods that can be applied to our curriculum.
This course inspires me a lot and encourages me to set up a goal: to be an advocate for children and families. I will pay more attention to my community and focus on more related issues; as well, I am contacting with one of my colleagues who have been funding for children in need of basic daily needs including clothes, books, money for tuitions and so on, because I am planning to donate monthly to one of those children so that to some extent I can give a little support to children and families in poverty.
Thank you again for those who share their ideas, read my posts and comment on my posts. I hope we can learn more from each other in the following courses. Good luck to everyone!
