Consequences and Goal

The greatest genius will never be worth much if he pretends to draw exclusively from his own resources. --Johann von Goethe

       International early childhood field provides a wealth of quality information and resources for my professional and personal development, helping me remain energized and passion for the work of early childhood education.  By exploring and learning about the field,

       a.  my personal and professional perceptions of issues and trends in early   childhood education have been broadened and enhanced;

       b.  my understanding of different sectors that make up the field--their similarities, differences, and of course, their uniting connection has been deepened; and

       c.  I can make professional connections with other early childhood professionals in other parts of the world for professional growth and fulfillment.

        One goal for the field related to international awareness of issues and trends and the spirit of collegial relations is we, the colleagues, can combine our efforts to be influential advocates for addressing issues that might have the damaging effects to the well-being of young children and families.

 
        As we coming to the end of this course study, I would like to thank our instructor, Dr. Walker, and my colleagues for your support and motivation that you have provided throughout this study.  Many thanks!
