Part 1
I contacted two people by e-mail for my blog assignment which I am still waiting to hear from them. I listened to some of the discussions from the alternative source, world forum radio, to understand and get better views of professional in early childhood settings. Susan Lyon taught children with learning disabilities and emotionalproblems. Barbara Jones started her school in Maine after working in private sector for 5 years.

Chika,
ReplyDeleteI contacted 3 ppl and have yet to hear back from them. I hope we hear back from them soon. One would think they would respond in a timely manner.... i guess they are busy bc of the 4th of july weekend. I am already a member of NAEYC and Zero to Three so I picked The Center for Child Care Workforce. It was pretty interesting. I has some links and resources for children like tips on oral language but it is mostly about the workforce for professionals like requirements and wages, etc. Im hoping the site offers me some sort of insight/help in looking for a new job in the Early Childhood Field.

Chika,
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting!
I have chosen the National Black Child organization also. This caught my attention because I know what being a minority could mean for mny children. I hope to find out about the issues and trends thatb affect our children in the black communities around the world. We might be surprized to know how the issues we face in the USA affect children in similiar ways. In my opinion I don't think there will be many differences. What I suspect is that because of the culture the issues may be handled differently.
Chick, I hope we each hear something soon. The alternative assignments seems over whelming to me right now! I reviewed some of the same website. And signed up for a couple more newsletters. I think they will offer us a large selection of issue to review. I’m hoping to get a better understanding of how others around the world work in this ever changing field. I thank we will learn that it’s a “Small World After All”.
