Sharing Web Resources

The website that I chose to share is NAEYC.org. NAEYC is the National Association for the Education of Young Children.  The focus is to promote high-quality early learning for children ages birth to 8 years.   The website shares resources for educators and families.  It also provides professional development for educators, as well as hosting conferences, and accreditation for early childhood programs.  Also included on the website is information about policy and advocacy. 

One of the things that caught my eye, related to this week’s study was anti-bias education. There were several articles and a book identified on the subject.  Also, the organization is reaching out globally to work with other governments and organizations to support early childhood professionals around the world. 

I have signed up for their newsletter, but have yet to receive one.

    Hi Rebecca,

    NAEYC is a source that I chose as well. I joined NAEYC membership in 2013. They are one of many organizations that do work globally and provides information that inspires people to make a change in their community.

    Hi Rebbeca,
    I selected NAEYC as well. Their website provides so many resources for educators. I know a few centers that's accredited through them. I like that they offer different ways to network with other educators.

Sharing Web Resources (week 4)

With COVID-19 at the forefront of everyone's mind recently, organizations have made heartfelt statements about being "in this together".  NAEYC.org has made a statement as well.  It is also providing resources for educators and families.  There are topics like: Coping with COVID-19, Making Videos at Home: Tips for Educator, and Statement from NAEYC on Passage of CARES Act ( Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ).  The CARES Act has " critical provisions that will help multiple parts of the complex early childhood education sector, addressing some of the needs expressed by parents, educators, programs, and small businesses across states and settings."  I am relieved to know that there is something in place to help facilities facing this crisis.  I am also relieved because this demonstrates that economists and politicians are coming together to meet the urgent needs of child care facilities and educators in the U.S.  In addition to working during this

Completing the Journey

Image
 Wow, I can't believe this journey is coming to an end.  I have learned so much along the way.  I have pushed myself harder than I have ever pushed myself to complete this program.  I have struggled and celebrated along the way.  Most importantly I have learned I am capable of anything I set my mind to.   This program has taught me that working in the early childhood field I am making a difference for the families and children I serve.  I am making a difference when I coach staff and share my "why".  I make a difference every day by being the constant in a child's life. I have learned there is no limit to advocating for children, families, and teachers.  I need to use my voice, skills, and knowledge to make a difference in the agency I work for, the community I live in, and the world we all live in.     I will continue to learn and keep abreast of the continuous changes in the early childhood field.  I am no longer intimidated by the research papers I come across and
