Reflection

This collaborative learning experience has been great.  I have learned the importance of communicating and learning from other early childhood professionals.  I have  gained many insights from observing and interacting with families, colleagues, administrative staff, other early childhood, and agencies that support children and families.  Through this communication, I have been supported and encouraged to advocate for issues that are important to me.  I have also become more knowledgeable in different areas of advocacy that impact children and families. With the help of other professionals and colleagues, I have learned how to research and write a  resource paper in which I plan to integrate into an advocacy plan on improving quality care for children who are being cared for in  early childhood settings.
