Sharing Web Resources

My primary professional goal is to teach other adults in the field of early childhood education!  That is why I love the resources and recommended practices section of the Division for Early Childhood!  They not only provide great tips, workshops and webinars that provide me with information to share with others but, they also provide a store with books, workbooks, assessment forms, etc. to help me advocate for best/recommended practices for working with all children but also for working with children who have exceptional abilities.

I could not find anything controversial in this website.  This site is very progressive and is full of new information and resources as well as political ramifications for current trends.  Because they stay abreast of current trends, they are full of information that is beneficial to children and families and they do all that they can to incorporate that to other early childhood professionals.

This website/organization is very aware of current political activities as they relate to children who have exceptional abilities.  Their home page lists major issues that are heading to courts right now, for example a main topic on their home page states DEC Alert: Good news! Final Part C Regulations gone to OMB! and allows strong advocates to review what is being presented in the political realm of early childhood special education.

This website is all about exceptional children and spreading the news about best policies and advocating for children and families!  I love it!  And, if you haven't added it to your favorites/bookmark list yet - do it now!!

    Hi Tammy. I am very happy that you shared this resource. I have a difficult time finding "controversial" issues with my source as well. However, I just approached it from the perspective of what would others view as being controversial. Excellent job!.

    Tammy, this is an answer to the question you asked on my blog about my goals are accomplish that I would like to meet as it relates to the matter of helping youth. I would love if the United States could copy programs like the ones being used in Austraila. I think I could present this to the (PBSI) POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORT INSTRUCTION in my building in hopes of older students being models and a encouragement for of students.
