The organization I have been exploring is the
National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Education. This week I went to
the link Books Published by the NAECTE member. I found a book entitled “Global
migration and education: Schools, children and families”.
This
book addresses the issues faced by immigrant children and other newly arrived
children, their parents, and educators. The common challenges and
successes are identified in school settings that cope with these issues.
Intended for researchers, students, school professionals, and educational
policy makers in the fields of multicultural education, child psychology,
international education, educational foundations and policy, and cross-cultural
studies, this book is highly relevant as a text for courses in these areas.
There are other books written by member listed as well. Who share information
on topics such as “Early Childhood and Neuroscience” and “High-tech tots:
Childhood in a digital world” to list a few books. This link shared a list of books written by
educators of educators on topics that is vital to children health development
and the educating of teachers.
The organization e-letter comes out quarterly.
The NAECTE Spring conference will be held in June, 2014 and the theme is Beyond
Standardization. The conference promise to provide a stimulating and meaningful
exchange of ideas on the theme.

On my previous job we would attend a lot of workshop sponsor by the National Associate for Early Childhood teachers. I really enjoyed it because just like you stated they present good information to teachers and other staff on how to teacher our children. Great information.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteThis site is new to me and I will look for the resources you listed and put this in my resource file. It seems you can never get to much information or be too informed. Thanks for taking the time and researching this information.
Hi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteI will certainly look for this book because I want to know what issues children and their families face as a diverse family within early childhood programs and in higher grades. Also I believe within our profession we should be taught by other cultural professionals to help us understand how children and their families of diverse backgrounds really feel when they enter programs that are culturally built for only one or two cultures overall.
Thank you for this information.
Hello Barbara,
ReplyDeleteThe books you have talked about seem very interesting. I am definitely going to look into those. Using coping strategies stated from personal experiences of professionals in the field, can help us to understand how to deal with certain situations. I enjoyed reading your post and the further research you have done on the organization.
