As this first class in our journey towards our Masters Degrees comes to an end we are asked to chose at least two colleagues that have made a difference and offer thanks and support and post on their blogs. I wanted to post on mine to say thank you to all of you. I am a firm believer that everyone that comes into and touches your life plays some type of role. I have enjoyed reading your post, and commenting on your blogs and in the discussion board and all the interactions and connections that we have made along the way. Some of you will continue to be in my group in the next class as I see and I am sure that we will talk again if not.
I know that we will at least still be in class together for the next six classes until we split into our specialization classes so I will see you all next week. I start my Leadership Conference in Winston Salem next week so I am going to try to get started early.
Thank you all.

Week 7 Assignment
NAEYC IDEALS
I. 1.1 To be familiar with the knowledge base of Early Childhood care and education and to stay informed through continuing education and training.
I really relate to this ideal and believe that it is very important to keep up on the education and trends of the field through training and education In our state it is a requirement that staff working with children participate in continuing education and training related to the field.
I.1.5 To create and maintain a safe and healthy setting that foster children's social, emotional, cognitive and physical development ad that respect their dignity and their contributions.
I am very passionate about this one and I make sure that my staff as well maintain the proper environment to foster the development of children.
I.2.7 To share information about each child's education and development with families and to help them understand and appreciate the current knowledge base of the early childhood profession.
My center holds conferences twice a year and more often if parents request, we do it for all ages but we especially encourage the parents of the preschool class so that they understand the growth of their child in relation to the expectations of kindergarten.
DEC IDEALS
We shall be responsible for maintaining the appropriate national, state or other credential or licensure requirements for the services we provide while maintaining our competence in practice and research by-ongoing participation in professional development and education activities.
Again professional development is important to learn all the changes that go on in the field to truly be professionals in the field.
We shall demonstrate our respect and concern for children, families, colleagues and others with whom we work, honoring their beliefs, values, customs, languages and culture.
Honoring everyone that touches the lives of the children and being respectful of the beliefs, values and customs of others culture is very important to create a diverse environment in the facility.
We shall advocate for equal access to high quality services and supports for all children and families to enhance their quality of lives.
Being an advocate or learning how to become an advocate is important to me, to be a voice for those that have no voice.
