Reflection
Note: This Reflection Assignment is also a Major Assessment for this course.
It is time now to take a look at the past 8 weeks, probe the depth of new knowledge and insights you have gained, contemplate, and complete this Reflection Assignment.
First, review the four major course objectives presented at the beginning of the course in the "Welcome to the Course" announcement:

To examine and reflect on ways current issues and trends affect young children, their families, and the community of early childhood professionals
To detect and analyze different viewpoints and evaluate consequences of actions
To reach out to, and learn from, practitioners in the field, both nationally and internationally
Further, think about the four ideas presented in the multimedia presentation in Week 1:
The early childhood field is constantly changing
All change is embedded in specific contexts
All actions have intended, as well as, unintended consequences
The constant amidst the changes is the commitment of early childhood professionals like you to the well-being of children, their families, and the professional early childhood community
