I still have not made any communication with any of the international contacts that I reached out to. It’s really upsetting because I would love to see how things are done on the other side of the world. To really communicate with someone who is going through all of these experiences would be great. Hopefully, before this class is up I will have reached out to at least one person.
I choose to explore the Harvard University Global Children’s Initiative website. I like many things about the site what stood out to me the most was how it chooses 25 diverse academics and scholars to help out with child development globally. Harvard University has a Center for the Developing Child it has teamed up with the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the National Conference of State Legislatures to bring the science of early childhood development to important personnel in the legislative and executive branches in all 50 states. The Global Children’s Initiative also has a world Conference were various people come together to incorporate child survival, health, and development during the early stages of life.
Exploring this website was very really useful; it was good to see that people worldwide are seeing the importance of Early Childhood Education. Also, expressing the significance of how caring, learning, and health have a huge impact on child’s future and why we should come together to provide the best possible life for our children.
Tashana - I still haven't heard from any contacts I tried to make with other ECE professionals. I wrote about the National conference also. I love the idea of a conference where ECE professionals come together to determine a better way for our children to learn, experience education and have a better life. Good choice!
