Passion, Motivation and Wisdom : Early Childhood Professionals
" I always wanted to be a teacher, because I had just a built in passion that it was important to make a real contribution in the world and to fix all the injustices that existed in the world." - Lousise Derman-Sparks Professor Emeritus, Pacific Oak College, CA
"We in the early childhood field have the opportunity to shape a child's life for the better." - Sandy Escobido-Deputy Field Director Los Angles Preschool Advocacy Initiative, California Community Foundation
I love both of those Quotes. These were the same ones that stood out in my mind. Isn't it strange, I bet that you believe the same as these professionals have stated.

Vanessa,
ReplyDeleteAlthough from a previous week, I wanted to comment on this post because one I too loved listening to Louise Derman Sparks and the second quote you gave goes along with what I have mentioned the last few weeks in discussions, is it not better to allocate funding now for education than funding prisons later on because the child wasn't taught any better? Thank you so much for your blog, I too have substitute taught and am thankful to have my own classroom again. I found substitute teaching difficult because I could not put my own stamp on them, I was following a plan left for me. I wish you the best of luck in all you continue to do.
