EDUC-6766, Wk 1, Advocacy Action Overview
Hi, everyone! This is my last class for the certificate program, and as a lifelong advocate, I'm happy to be wrapping my studies up by learning advocacy tools to help me as I go forward. I've always considered education a privilege, however, I feel that our country has a lot of room for improvement in this area. I believe that, as advocates, we have a responsibility to fight for these improvements. I'm certain that the information I have learned through this program will aid in these efforts.
Working in higher education for the last decade, I have advocated on my students' behalf in many different ways. Whether it was fighting for financial aid adjustments, nominating disadvantaged students for scholarships, ensuring special accommodations for students with disabilities, or advocating for minority and LGBTQ students, I have worked tirelessly to help students in their pursuit of higher education. Now my focus has shifted to early childhood education and I hope to work just as tirelessly.
Prior to studying education, my academic focus was psychology. As I learned in psychology, and as Kieff (2009) notes, the early years of a child's life are critical. We have an ethical and professional responsibility to ensure that early childhood education is adequately fulfilling the needs of all students. I am looking forward to learning the tools that will help me advocate on behalf of these children so that their needs are met.
