A Final Farewell

I learned how to do more in depth research on topics to prove a theory or point.
I learned how quality of care is influenced by others besides the workers in the classrooms.
I also learned ways to collaborate, team build and formulate groups to make the best of the goals I set.

My one long term goal is to make an serious impact into the way that quality early childhood services are coordinated and how the early care and education field looks at hiring individuals.

Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

               They Early Childhood Australia site did not have any job listing available but do provide the opportunity to become a member so I would classify this organization to be a community of practice that work on issues in Australia. In comparison to some of the United States initiatives there are pretty similar.  The organization offers newsletters, special alerts and other special perks for members who decide to join. The organization offers parent resources and learning hubs for professional development. I find that great for teachers to go on and even parents to see what the teachers need to know to better teach their child.
              The United Nations Children's Fund is a well-known organization throughout the world. I was unable to access the job listing for UNICEF but I did see the area in which they do hiring for, and the first to catch my attention was education. Then the next was adolescent development, because I have had a peek interest lately in discovering the missing pieces adolescents did not get on early childhood. In order to conclude why certain behaviors are happening. The final area is health which is important for children to learn and reach their full potential later I life.
              The Association for Childhood Education International's site is a compilation of different organizations all in one place. They offer funding grants which is highly important for ECE programs. They much like the Early Childhood Australia offer memberships to the public to be involved in their work. The slogan of AECI is bright futures for every child, every nation. This is true we should not just want to impact the cities, towns or states we live we should want to seek ways to improve childhood for all children nationwide.  Because children do not only matter in the US.
