This semester has taught me a lot about how to find, judge, and review childrens literature to be a fair and positive experience to all children in my future classes. Learning more things in this class has made it not only more difficult to choose books but also more rewarding in the end.
I am left with lingering questions on how to tackle the often monumentous task of knowing enough to make sure the literature I will provide children in my classes is truly a positive expression of all different peoples. How will I ever have the time and resources to research these groups and stereotypes? Hopefully relying on outside sources who've been proven reliable, will be able to help me move through this difficulty.
I have really enjoyed experiencing the literature throughout the semester and I realize that these experiences will help me to share a similar future experience with them. I know more now on how it feels to tackle some of the tough and tricky questions about diversity and multicultural groups. I Think that this course has greatly improved my knowledge in this area and its been a great experience! I would recommend all future educators attempt to educate themselves this same way.
