Throughout this
program I learned many good things.
The
first thing that I learned was that we need to have a vision in order to make
change happen.
Second I learned that
many people share the same passion and interests and that we should recognize that
and work together to achieve the common goals.
Last, I learned the importance of collaboration and how to collaborate
with other to achieve your goals.
My ultimate
goal is to impact the quality of services offered in my state by advocacy,
training and education to teachers, directors, families, and community
people. I want to influence child care licensing
regulations to raise the bar of quality.
I want to lower child-teacher ratios, create infant /toddler, preschool
and school age credentials and make them mandatory and make more stringent
health and safety regulations.
Finally, the most expected time during the
past two years. We have completed all
the requirements of our M.S degree in early childhood studies. First of all, I
want to thank my professor. Dr. Teri,
thank you for your guidance and feedback every week. Without your detailed
comments and suggestions the outcome would have been different than the one obtained.
Thank you very much for your time and patience and I will always be very
grateful for your help.
To all my colleagues,
Thank you for taking the time of reading
my discussion boards and blogs and for providing me with ideas and guidance
week after week. Your expertise, knowledge
and experience were a great help during my Capstone Project process. I am very impressed with everyone’s passion
for the field and with all your challenge statements and responses. I wish you all success in your future endeavor
and I hope to finally meet you during graduation.
Dear Colleagues do not hesitate to contact me if you need help with your advocacy efforts
