I hope that you are as excited as I am about establishing a professional contact. Initially i was quite nervous and overwhelmed by the number of resources available. However, using the Global Alliance of NAEYC website, I have chosen to contact persons from Canada, Haiti and Nigeria via email. In the emails I introduced myself and explained my purpose for the establishment of the contact. Although I have not received any responses, I am hopeful that I will get a response soon. Meanwhile, I will also try to contact other persons from South America and Europe.
Viewing the list of organizations posted in the resources, it was very difficult to settle on just one organization as three of them sparked my interest. Therefore i took the liberty to explore the websites of;
- Association for Childhood Education International which envisions that every child in every nation will have access to quality education.
- Children's Defense Fund which advocates for no child be left behind irrespective of ability, race, ethnicity, inabilities.
- National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Education since it is also my desire to facilitate at the Teacher Education Programme.
Nonetheless, I believe for this course I will focus my attention on the ACEI (although I will still research the other two) as it takes on a more global perspective on Early Childhood Education.
Hi Zephirina,
ReplyDeleteI also felt very overwhelmed in reviewing the list of resources and websites. I wish you well with your points of contact. I look forward to what you share as we go through the course. I also have chosen to review the Association of Childhood Education International website. I felt the same way as having the connection to multiple issues and resources in a more global perspective.
Hello Zephirina, you have chosen some great places to connect with and learn from. I look forward to hearing what's trending in those countries! I have not heard anything from one of the countries I reached out to, but, I am hopeful I will hear something, if not I will work on securing a different connection. Best wishes to you!
ReplyDeleteI also did not have luck getting a hold of anyone ether so don't think it's just you. I did lesson to a radio station called the BAM it was a great station where you can just lesson to topics that you found interesting and I really did enjoy this radio and lessoning to what they had to say. Just something I though you might want to try out and see if you liked it. Great job this week.
