Sharing Web Resources (week 6)

Today I explored NAEYC's global engagement.

"No matter where you live, whether you’re a teacher, parent, director, advocate or investor, a seasoned professional or new to the field, your work impacts children around the world."

 Hello is an online interactive platform for educators and professionals around the world.  This is an open discussion form for bridging a connection with educators from around the world.  

 NAEYC holds national conferences with Language Tracks so that a diverse group of educators are able to participate.  Educators from around the world participate in these conferences.  "While NAEYC doesn’t offer accreditation to programs outside of the United States at this time, we offer broader technical assistance to support country-wide, high-quality learning systems around the world."

 With regard to equity and quality in early childhood:

 NAEYC has a position statement on Advancing Equity in Early Childhood Education. This position statement is part of NAEYC's core values.  

 "...we recognize that our commitment to all children having the right to equitable learning opportunities means we must confront the complicated past and present of equity and equality in the United States while also turning beyond our borders to learn how this is advancing in other countries. "

NAEYC is all about quality early childhood education.  Their accreditation is proof of that.  High-quality programs are accredited through NAEYC and uphold high standards.

    Hi Rebecca,
    I love that NAEYC provides us with platforms like HELLO. I feel we need opportunities to network with others in this field. I love sharing ideas and funny stories about children with other educators. I know these past weeks haven't been easy but I pray all is well with you and your family.

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
