Three Consequences with working with International Awareness: I have learned many things over the past eight weeks and hope to continue learning as time goes on. One of my consequences from this course is that I have learned so much about poverty/economics and how it affects children everywhere. Many people think poverty isn’t in their neighborhood-but it’s all around us. We should all work to help alleviate poverty by working together and joining organizations that work to make changes happen.
Next is how important it is to interact with educators around the world-I briefly made contact with two professionals and it was interesting hearing how education is handled where they live. In some countries education is put on the back burner or if you’re a girl you are not allowed to go to school or risk being hurt or worse, we need to make education mandatory for everyone as well as safe no matter where you live.
The last is in regard to education for professionals and how important it is for anyone working with children and families to understand how complex and different each and everyone are going to be!! We all need to learn about children developing, diversity, languages, family interactions and many other complex areas in regard to children.
The goal that is related t international awareness for me is how I can work at being an advocate for children everywhere and continue my interactions with my contacts to learn more about education in their countries. I hope to be a voice for children and families in other countries so that they will be able to get better education, drinking water, food, and the many things that most of us here in the United States take for granted. I have really enjoyed this course and hope to continue what I have learned and keep in contact with my classmates throughout the remaining classes and further-hopefully we will meet one day and even work together on some project for bettering children’s lives.
Very Good Post! It has been great to enjoy all of your reading throughout the course.That is a cool goal to want to be an advocate for children, because we all know that children do need someone to advocate for them. Good Luck in all of your studies.
ReplyDeleteVery nice post! Thank you for sharing your final thoughts about this class and the knowledge that you have gained. I also agree with your statement about how important it is for everyone working with children to see how complex and different each one is. This is very true and needs to be noted everyday when going into the world. Everyone is different - but the goal is to help everyone have success and love.
