I am very excited for this blog assignment this course. I believe that being able to build relationships and build each blog assignment on the next will really help to develop the connections that we are striving for. I have contacted two early childhood professionals one from Macedonia and one from the netherlands.
I reviewed the Global Alliance for Early Childhood Education through NAEYC to find these great contacts! I am a huge fan of NAEYC and think that they are at the top of their class for advocacy and creating world wide contacts. One of the contacts that I chose works for The Foundation for Educational and Cultural Initiatives of Macedonia, this is a program that is striving for education for all! Additionally, this program is affiliated with the International Step by Step Association with similar goals and missions. This is where I contacted the second early childhood professional. I have reached out to both of them via email and hope to hear from them soon.
Additionally, I have chosen to study The Division for Early Childhood. In particular, this program is right in my neighborhood!! I live only about three hours away from the primary office of this organization and have had the opportunity to take some amazing trainings from a few of the great advocates who work there. I am excited to learn more about their work, their work in progress and their goals for the future based on issues and trends that effect us here at home!
I look forward to learning with all of my classmates and can't wait to hear about all the amazing connections we will make!
Hi Tammy. I am excited about this blog assignment as well. I am wishing you luck on hearing back from your contacts. Hopefully, I will be able to make contact with mine as well. I cannot wait to hear about the organization that you have selected.
ReplyDeleteTammy, I glad to hear that you are able to make contact with an organization in your home town. Sounds very exciting and I cannot wait to hear what you find out.
