Establishing
Professional Contacts
The early childhood professional I chose to establish
contact with Morocco, Philippines, Ghana, South Africa, Kazakhstan, and
Mongolia. My means of communicating with these professionals is by e-mail. I am
really looking forward to commutating with these early childhood professional and
share information. I am waiting for responses from the professionals I have
e-mailed.
Expanding Resources
As I explored the National Association of Early Childhood
Teacher Educators (NAECTE) web-site I found that its members are people from
all across the United States and other countries. They have come together
because of their interest in Early Childhood Teacher education. The NAECTE foundation
was formed in 1998. It is a 501 (c) tax-exempt organization that raise funds
for the benefit of early childhood teacher educators and the children and
communities they serve.
One of the goals of this organization is Advocacy. It has created
the NAECTE Foundation Advocacy Award to recognize members who has demonstrated their
effectiveness as advocates for programs and policies that support quality
programming for young children. This award comes with a $500 honorarium.
Another goal of the NAECTE is to promote and support research
project related to early childhood teacher education. Many member of the NAECTE
have develop their capacities as researchers by presenting at NAECTE conferences
and writing for its journal.
The next goal of the NAECTE Foundation is to provide scholarships
of $1,000 to doctoral students to support collection of data and completion of
the dissertation.
Many of the members of NAECTE has published books on
subjects such as Neuroscience, Global migration, Childhood in a digital world
just to name a few.

Hello Barbara,
ReplyDeleteI find your information very informative on the organization NAECTE and I am excited to find out more on what services they provide and how this organization can help to better our field. Since so many cuts are happening in many states across the country it is reassuring to find a program that offers support to someone supporting quality programming is a good thing.
Good Morning Barbara,
ReplyDeleteHope you do well with your contacts...what made you choose the places you picked? Did you have a connection or just curious? Looking forward to seeing how you do with this task...good luck!
Hi Barbara;
ReplyDeleteI am waiting for responses as well. However the other resource you chose to explore “The National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators (NAECTE) has a focus on children in a digital world is great to have an insight on. We see so many children learning in this digital world and never being taught how to write a letter by hand or cursive handwriting which I believe is always a personal touch to any person.
The NAECTE associated is a very good organization that is truly a good place for early childhood educators to learn and explore different ways to help better educate our young children.
ReplyDeleteBarbara it is nice that you chose these contacts. I will be looking forward to hearing what you find out from these organizations.
ReplyDeleteBarbara,
ReplyDeleteIt was hard for me to choose. So I look forward to hearing from you the trends and issues are and how they deal with them. I am waiting to hear back from my contacts as well.
