From the bottom of my heart, I would like to say
that this program, M.S. in
Early Childhood Studies with a specialization in
Administration, Management, and Leadership, has
1. developed
my skills that I need to operate a high-quality child care center with effective
programs and practices.
2. increased
my knowledge deeply and broadly of child’s development and learning, family
engagement, team development, leadership building, etc.
3. made me
aware the need to be an advocate for children and families in order to foster
their well-being.
And, this program has motivated me to set a couple of long term goals:
1. to
continue to develop myself to be an early childhood professional by reading
widely, engaging in a variety of related conferences and seminars, and
networking with others for enhancing my professionalism.
2. to be an
effective agent of positive social change by collaborating with a various of
communities of practice that can promote the well-being of young children and
their families.
Before
parting, I would like to thank my instructor, Dr. Dartt, for her valuable
feedbacks and comments to my weekly assignments, and motivation and
instructions through her weekly newsletters. All these inputs have made my learning of this course
fruitful and enriching. Besides, I
would like to say a big Thank You to my colleagues: Thanks for your support and
encouragement that you have given me in our weekly discussions and blog
assignments. Your kind words have
inspired me to move forward to complete this program of study, and motivate me
to achieve my professional goals.
Here is quote I would like to share with all of you:
“Education is all a matter
of building bridges” --- Ralph Ellison.
I would
like, therefore, to connect with you after parting from this program. I believe each of us can be a valuable
asset to one another. Let’s get in touch, and please do contact me if you have an interest to work in China as
an early childhood administrator, supervisor, or teacher. My personal email address is: kokboonwww@yahoo.com.
Wong, it was great working with you over the past 8 weeks. Continue to be an agent of positive change in your spheres of influence and build bridges wherever you go.
