6990 Week 6: Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

 

This week’s assignment had us focus on international organizations.  This is what I found. 

 

Save the Children is a global program reaching children and advocating for their rights.  They focus on serving children in some of the most under developed areas around the globe.  Fighting for children rights and education.  The reason I selected this organization is that they work with children in the most dire situations and assist them in education and fighting the injustices they experience daily.  The job that interested me the most was Education Lead:

 “The Education Lead is responsible for overseeing the technical delivery of the program, to ensure education opportunities that are available, relevant, respectful and of high quality. S/he will put people at the core of the education program, to promote the resilience and well-being of children, teachers and communities affected by crisis and conflict. S/he will promote the acquisition of foundational skills for all children, based on the national curriculum but including international best practices. S/he will collaborate with all relevant stakeholders to strengthen education systems and to contribute to Niger’s progress towards self-reliance. In collaboration with the project technical team and partners, s/he will support the design of service delivery strategies, track progress towards program goals, and adapt as necessary.The qualifications for the position include a BA in Education, International Development or a related field.  It also requires five years experience with progressively increasing responsibility for designing, managing, and implementing complex education programming in developing countries involving multiple stakeholders and implementing partners.”

UNICEF is another global organization.  This organization “works in over 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives, to defend their rights, and to help them fulfil their potential, from early childhood through adolescence. And we never give up.”  I selected this organization for its dedication to serving all children.  The job I found most interesting is Education Officer (Inclusive Education).  I am not qualified for this position due to not being a Serbian national, being bi-lingual, nor do I have the experience the position requires.  However, it would be something that interests me.   Here is the listing for the position:

Education Officer (Inclusive Education), (NO-2), Belgrade, Serbia, #115127 (Serbian nationals only)

Under the supervision of the Education Specialist, the incumbent will support the implementation of the Education programme priorities in the areas of Inclusive Education, Antidiscrimination and Violence Prevention, as well as the efforts of different stakeholders toward building a more inclusive education system, including through cooperation with EU.

Location: Serbia

Deadline:

The third organization that interests me is Childhood Education International.  I did not find any open positions within the organization.  I find the organization interesting because it focuses on building the foundation for early childhood learning and supporting educators about child health and well-being.

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
