Final Blog Assignment

Over the course I have visited various international website and found a great wealth of information pertaining to children and their families. On some instances I was delighted to learn about other’s role in ensuring the well being of children and on the other hand some issues disappointed me. Since studying about the issues that other encounter it has made me very reluctant and I no longer take small things for granted. I’m very grateful for what I have and I always hope for the best for the many of children that will cross my path.

I continued to follow the issues presented from the Child Defense Fund. This organization has a variety of resources that are available for children and families who live in poverty. Some of the most vulnerable people lack inaccessible resources and could find the CDF organization very beneficial to them. As a future educator I would recommend the website to my colleagues so that they can share the resources with their students and families. Overall that drew me into this site was CDF concern to end poverty. Not all children are reluctant to come from good environments with many opportunities. Childhood poverty is on the rise. It is important that we as educators embrace children struggles and help them overcome their obstacles in any way(s) possible so that we can ensure that they excel while in the classroom.

As an educator I plan to provide professional assistance with resources to equip children for success in their adult life. I hope to provide all children with quality learning experiences despite of their circumstances. I hope to have a positive impact on the lives of all children and will continue to be an advocate for those children who live in poverty. My goal is to provide alternative approaches, skills for life, and decision making, which will enable children to ultimately become productive citizens of society.
