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 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.
Heather,
ReplyDeleteThe NAEYC is such a great resource for all educators on any level. I use it for just about everything I do. I really liked the organization Great Start Collaborative, we have something similar in our area call Smart Beginnings. Thank you for the resources you provided.

Change has become the new normal. I am also looking at university positions to further my career. My mom always said, "The only thing that remains the same is change!"
ReplyDeleteHi Heather-I enjoyed reading your blog and yes NAEYC is a great resource that I will use more often.

Heather,
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful that you want to share the knowledge and experience you have obtained working and learning in the early childhood field, good luck on your future goals. I have also found that the NAEYC is invaluable resource when considering all things early childhood. It is great that though I think our local resources could be more abundant and helpful to the entire early childhood field, that at least it seems we are making positive headway for the field.
