When choosing a topic to research for this class, I immediately knew that I wanted to research ways to improve equity in education for all children. I am a firm believer that all children can be successful learners when they are given the proper “tools” to work with. The task of stating three subtopics to address on this topic was a very difficult one. I have chosen, thus far, to research how gender, race and socioeconomic status effects equity in education. Dr. Ferrari suggested that I try to narrow each topic because they are very broad. I have not been successful thus far in how I will proceed. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am looking forward to gaining this research experience; however I already feel overwhelmed on all it will entail. In order to be successful in my future endeavor of Prekindergarten director, I will need to understand what research says that I can to do to create a program that offers every child the same opportunity to develop their learning skills and to become socially adjusted children. Therefore I know the opportunity is will provide me with the knowledge that I need to develop a quality program for all children.
Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI love your topic! I think it is great that you are very passionate about equity in early childhood care. I would suggest that you pick a particular gender, race, and socioeconomic status to research such as single mothers, African-Americans, and/or low income families to see how these different statuses impact the equitable care these children receive. Good Luck!
