Family is the main foundation of my support, next are my co-workers and friends, they are the lens of my vision. Collaborating with other educational facilities provides me with the tools I need to enhance my skills in my field of study. My spiritual belief of an higher power gives me the strength to go forth and overcome any obstacle; that might hinder me from completing any task that I might set out to accomplish. Quotes like, THE HEIGHTS OF GREAT MEN REACHED AND KEPT, written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The ROAD NOT TAKEN by Robert Frost, my island's NATIONAL PLEDGE (Jamaica), and the former GIRLS GUIDE OATH; I took embrace as a constant reminder of where I'm coming from and the journey set ahead.
Our Cultures and Parent Involvement
Networking with parents and other professionals help me to create a community of learning, either it entails learning about a family's culture or one's achievement. Other factors are policies and mandated guidelines created by law markers to provide a diverse community for children and their families.Ongoing professional training and higher education supports my professional development and growth.The ability to abide by the documented policies and procedures on a daily basis help me to construct and design my classroom accordingly to the need of my students and support their development in all domains. Without professional development I would not be able to cope with the demographic changes in the population of children and families served. Laws and policies help to protects the rights of children and families where as all children are given an equally education despite their sex, color, race, ethnicity, and physical or mental ability. I cannot imagine where I would be today in my professional field had I not involved in professional staff development.
Hello Natalie,
ReplyDeleteYou can tell by your post and by your pictures that you have a big loving supportive family. It is also interesting how you included professionals and networking to include people into your support system. I do not allow to many people into my circle. Maybe I should change that
What awesome supports you have in your life. The love and support of family makes all our struggles worth it and the victories so much sweeter.

ReplyDeleteI agree that family is one of our main support systems, if not the main one. What you wrote and the pictures you included show that your family and your other supports have good relationships.
Hello Natalie,
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your post, it looks like we both have stated how our families and coworkers are the biggest supports for us. It is nothing like having a good partner, it makes the day go by much smoother at work. In addition, family helps to bring balance and ease in our lives. Lastly, it looks like we also share strong beliefs about our faith as well.
