- Learning about the international organizations and foundations is a way to connect on a world wide scale. These programs can help us connect the issues and trends that are going on in the world.
- I found the website and podcasts to be great resources to understand what is going on the in world of early childhood. This could also help with early childhood on a personal level by helping out in the classroom on a local range.
- For my own professional development I now know that keeping aware of of kind of programs are out there. There is still a strive, even internationally, to obtain high-quality programs for early childhood care and education.

Final Blog Assignment
Throughout this course I unfortunately was unable to establish contact with international professionals. From my latest blogs I was able to look and analyze many different websites and organizations that deal with early childhood on an international level. I have learned a few from discovering and analyzing these websites as well as the consequences from learning about international contacts in the early childhood field:

Hello Heather,
ReplyDeleteI also didn’t have any success contacting an international professional. Using the international organization and foundations as a learning resources was very useful, and I also intend on utilizing the websites and podcast for future references. I would like to also be a voice for early childhood issues/trends locally and internationally. Great blog post, I would like to thank you for sharing and posting on my blog.
Heather,
ReplyDeleteI too was unable to establish international contact with an early childhood professional, however I did enjoy reading the blogs of classmates who were able to. It showed me that there are many similarities relative to the beliefs and desires among early childhood professionals locally, as well as internationally. I tremendously enjoyed this course as it has enlightened me on many trends and issues I was not aware of prior to. Like you, one of my goals is to stay abreast on these issues and trends as they greatly influence my professional fluency. Thank you for your collegial support, and I hope you accomplish your professional and personal goals!

Hello Heather! I too was unable to contact international professionals. I did learn a great deal from browsing the different web sites that are available for children and families in need. I was proud to learn of all the resources that are available to assist those in need. I am also pleased to learn that there are people world wide fighting for the betterment of early childhood education. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how much we have in common with educators around the world when it comes to the equity, efficacy, and quality of early childhood education. I am happy to know that there are a myriad of resources and organizations that exist to address the needs of the young around the word whether it be education, poverty, hunger, discrimination, etc... Best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteHeather,
ReplyDeleteI found it hard to establish an international contact through the links that were provided also. I did find one through my husband though. I wish it were easier to contact with international contacts because I found it very interesting to hear about Thailand’s educational system. I also gained insight through your discussions about the pod casts! Thank you for all your great discussions and blog posts during this course.
