Formulating Goals

To prepare for this assignment, reflect on questions posed in “What Do the ABE Goals Mean to Me?” found in Chapter 1 of the course text.

  • To what degree, or in what ways, do I nurture construction of a knowledgeable, confident self-identity and group identity in myself?
  • How do I promote my own comfortable, empathetic interactions with people from diverse backgrounds?
  • In what ways do I foster my critical thinking about bias?
  • Under what circumstances do I cultivate my ability to stand up for myself and for others in the face of bias?
  • What are the challenges to achieving these goals in my life?
  • What might be ways for me to develop each of these goals in my work? in my personal life?
  • With these thoughts in mind, develop two professional goals with respect to anti-bias education and the work you do – or plan to do – with children. Consider how these goals may help to set the stage for your learning in this course and assist you in becoming more effective when working with children and families from all backgrounds.

    My TWO goals are:

    I will promote opportunity for each child to demonstrate self-awareness, confidence, family pride, and positive social identities’ and embracing of both diversity of who we are.
