As I come to the end of another course I reflect on the intended and unintended consequences of the relationships between professionals in the international early childhood field and us. I have listed three consequences of learning about the international early childhood field. One intentional consequence would be to learn that we are all dealing with some of the same issues; poverty, lack of resources, and Multilanguage learners. Another consequence would be to learn about the struggles that international programs deal with on a daily basis that we take for granite. Issues such as clean water and schools in close proximity. A positive consequence is that we, as professionals, can share ideas back and forth. We can gain new insight to an old idea, get feed back on things that have be tried and worked or not.
A goal for international awareness of the early childhood program would be to let people know that education is important and collaboration between professionals is important and necessary. The other issue that I would like Americans to be aware of is the lack of resources such as clean running water, sanitation, and safe schools in other countries.
I want to thank all my classmates that have shared the information and contacts with me. It has been a blessing.
