Evaluating Impacts on Professional Practice
A consequence that I might expect for the children and families with whom I work with while I experience -isms in my own life is religion. Not having a strong background in religion myself, may cause barriers. It is important that I recognize this and reflect on how to knock down this barrier. Children need to create strong, meaningful, and supportive relationships with adults. If I allow my --isms interfere with the children's growth, development, and well-being, there will be a negative affect. It is important for me to take the time and learn about each child's religion in classroom to ensure positive growth, development, and learning. Learning about the religions of each child in my class will help me to create an authentic, caring, and compassionate learning environment for all.

I agree that if we sometimes let our ism interfere with the children's growth, development, and well being there can be some negative affect and we do not want that in the lives of the children we serve. It is important to take time to learn about the children and families we serve in all areas. We can do this during open house before school and also through home visits which will give you an look at the environment the children may be exposed to. I wish you the best of luck.
