It is very
important as an Early Childhood Professional to make professional contacts to
keep up with the current issues and trends facing the Early Childhood
Professional. I have decided to go global
with my contacts by wanting to compare the issues and trends facing Early Childhood
in the European country of Ireland. I
contacted NIPPA which is the Early Childhood organization in Ireland, through
e-mail. I am eagerly and patiently waiting
to hear back from this organization.
Next, I
decided to take a look at the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural
Organization website. From this website
you can download the global policies of countries pertaining to standards,
requirements of Education, Science, and Culture. I find this site very important because it
will allow me to research the issues and trends of countries around the world and
how it compares and contrast to the United States.
I am looking
forward to taking this course because it will help me focus on what needs to
put into perspective for the needs of Early Childhood in the region of the
United States I live.

I started to see the importance of studying this course by being able to increase my awareness viewpoints over the issues and trends in the ec field. And, the contacts that we are to make with other ec professionals from other countries surely broaden and deepen our understanding over the complexity of an issue or trend.
ReplyDeleteKelly, I also choose an international website. I did so because I have learned a lot about issues and trends in the USA when I pursued and relieved my undergraduate degree at Walden and now I would like to see how they compare to other countries. I look forward to discussing and blogging with you in the upcoming weeks. Cindy Hughes
ReplyDeleteI am in the same boat as when it comes to waiting for responses. I hope you make connects with the organizations you want. The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization sounds really interesting. I like that the website gives comparisons of countries to the United States. Looking forward to reading your blog this term!
