421 Week 11

Learning:

• This semester I've learned more about what it means to be a professional who works with children and their families. There are lots of varying homes and families we will come in contact with. We have to try not to judge them or let any judging get in the way of helping that family be successful and happy. I've also gotten to review the laws that deal with Special Education and rights for those with disabilities. I've also thought a lot about what makes a disability a disability. There are labels that come with everything. And which labels are we choosing to represent certain groups? And what makes a label inappropriate or appropriate? I've learned this semester that working in the field of education is more than just working and helping children, but it is about helping their families, too. Families are the closest unit to the child and by helping families we are helping the children.
