Exploring rolls

 

NAEYC: the mission  to serve and act on behalf of the needs, rights and well-being of all young children with primary focus on the provision of educational and developmental services and resources appeals to me because it focuses on the needs and rights of all children.

 

 

Strengthening Families: a parenting and family strengthening program for high-risk and regular families.  This appeals to me because the focus is the entire family.

 

Great Start Collaborative:  an assembled group of professionals and parents within a community that focuses on early childhood needs and work.  I am a part of this collaborative and it appeals to me because I value a coordinated systems approach to my work.

 

A current job opportunity that interests me is an Early Childhood Professor at Florida State University.  I want to use my knowledge and experience to support future peers in the field.

 

I need to complete my Masters Program and continue my work in administration to fully understand the complexity of teaching students.  Change has become our new normal and embracing that will allow me to support the efforts of early childhood students.
