My Own Capacity

o    Which issues impacting young children and their families and/or the field of early childhood fuel your passion?
    *   The issue that impacts the field of Early Childhood is the way quality is measured for centers and its effectiveness of measurement. 

o    What special skills do you have that will contribute to your advocacy efforts? How will you incorporate these skills into your work?
      *    I have the knowledge of how child care assessments work. I have assessed and graded centers on their quality; however the system is flawed in measures.

o    What resources do you have at your disposal that can benefit your advocacy work?
       *  I have knowledge of the books and have studied the alternative notes that coincide. I have also listed to groups of individuals who have come with different ways to improve assessment of quality. 

o    What knowledge, skills, dispositions, and/or talents do you possess that will contribute to your advocacy work?
       *    I have creative skills to make assessments fair and fun for teachers.  I also have knowledge of Developmentally Appropriate Practices for different age children. 

o    In what ways do you hope to grow in order to be a more effective advocate?
*    I want to gain more information on the administration of child care to see what barriers cause them to not provide the best quality care.

  1. I agree with that quality center are important for children development. I would love to see how you assessment is fun for teachers. A lot of time assessment are for children and they are bias to them. I pick quality childcare center because where I lived on every block their a less one or two childcare center and they are not quality programs. thank for sharing
