Blog 8 Assignment

During this these last 8 weeks, I have had the chance to learn about the field of early childhood education and care in other countries.  This knowledge came through reading the blogs of my peers and analyzing practical websites.  There are three consequences of learning about the world-wide early childhood field: I learned not only how educator in my states handle and deal with issues of trend in the field of early child hood , but had a chance to view it on a international which made it more inspiring. I had discover as an educator When an issue or trend has been identified it can be very effective to research other countries who have had a similar issue.  I have learned the importance of Research and how it can be done to compare our identified issue/trend to another country‘s issue/trend and learn about their solution or proactive approach.

The internet makes available an excess of information on educators EC programs, EC education, and EC initiatives.  As an educator leaders who are leading the research, programs, and initiatives are from all over the world who can be contacted through email, mail, or phone which it make it very easy for educators to have a dialogue with other educator in other countries and we can help to support them as well through a varieties of methods. For example. Email, text newsletters websites and so on.  The internet provides communication opportunities with professionals in the EC field need to continue in their journey of early child hood.

After having this opportunity in this class to studying international EC programs and initiatives stirs passion and ignites innovation.  For my personal development, I have found learning about the international EC community an opportunity to enhance my career and help support my children and their families to be successful. I look for international programs and initiatives that inspire an continue to stay current in my field to better serve my children and to help them to reach their full potential in any way that I can.

Future Goal:

The goal as an educator goal for the field related to international awareness of issues and trends and the spirit of collegial relations have inspired and motivate to do all that I can to help these families be successful and make sure that I am helping these families to get the resource and tolls that need to be successful in helping their child succeed in school.The international EC community will increase awareness of issues and trends through consistent, open communication. I have discovered that communication can take place through many ways email, blogs, and informative websites. Educators and EC leaders and professionals throughout the world will use this internet to communicate issues and trends and most highly the taking the initiative methods to achieve high-quality care and education of the worlds of children.

Overall it is significant to continue learning from others, as you mention in your blog this week. If we are open to others ideas, as they have dealt with issues and fairness in the field, we can learn from them and gain new insights for our implementation. I like to thank Dr. Pickens and my classmates for such a clear statement of the consequences of learning about the international early childhood community. We should and do learn from each other and with each other when we communicate freely and openly. The research and revolutions will help us all. Have a bless summer as you continue your path in EC

The first article that I look at for this week was very informative “Early Childhood Care and Education” What I have learned from this article the importance of brain development in young children. During these years this a very important time and this is where the foundation start. After reading this article it is very vital that educators realize the importance for preceding learning and development. I found out through reading this article how UNESCO advocates for Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) programmers that attend to health, nutrition, security and learning and which provide for children’s holistic development. I also discover that It organized the first World Conference on ECCE in September 2010, which culminated in the adoption of a global action agenda for ECCE called Moscow Framework for Action and Cooperation: Harnessing the Wealth of Nations. I found out how this organization work  in partnership with Member States, partners and other shareholders to encourage suitable and effective putting into practice of the Moscow Framework as a result that the whole thing young children develop their potential to the completest.

 The second article really caught my attention Big Push workshop to accelerate early childhood care and education in Africa”  I gain new insight Among the 19 African countries that have joined the Big Push Initiative to accelerate Education for All, four countries have chosen to focus on boosting early childhood care and education (ECCE). I really enjoyed reading this article it was very insightful Africa is a country that, I am very compassionate about and I am so happy to know about this big push workshop to accelerate early childhood in Africa.  I have also gained insight also  that "Today we know from evidence that the type of ECCE programmed currently being operated in many African settings is neglecting the cultural values and practices of their societies," This article have open my eyes and now I have realizes as an educator how vital this push is and the benefit that all these countries and children can benefit.

Thirdly. What are the three most important skills a child should learn? This is something that every educator need to make sure that they need to know the skills for our children to succeed and what I have learned about this article the important skills for children to know in oreder to be successful in school. According to UNESCO Bangkok Director, Gwang-Jo Kim, said in his recent interview: “One of the greatest challenges for education systems today is keeping pace with a changing world of work and equipping youth with the skills they will need in an increasingly knowledge-based economy. I agree with him because the world is changing so fast and things our moving quickly and so many new ideas, adapt to new realities and maintain a sense of curiosity throughout learning, I have discover and have gained insight that the UNESCO commissioned 2012 Education for All Global Monitoring Report, which focuses specifically on the issue, noting that the challenge of ensuring all young people have the opportunity to acquire the skills they need has sharpened acutely since the year 2000. I have found after reading these articles what skills our most important? What skills should we all be learning today? According to Govind Singh, Council of Pacific Education, Fiji “For a child to work across a huge spectrum of life, they will need life skills, core values and the opportunity to unlock the treasure within.” And also Vutha Lay, NGO Education Partnership, Cambodia “They need soft skills to be good citizens, vocational skills for employment and basic education to equip them with knowledge.” Overall these article have being very informative and  am so grateful that I now have information that I can share with families that I work with and my co workers to informe them with all these new changes that is taking place.

Day Care Center Opens for Kenya's Female Prisoners The data that was important to my line of work on this website was Day Care Center Opens for Kenya's Female Prisoners. This information helps me in providing the necessary resource that families member might be facing some hard time in their life, but I will be able to share with families just because you are in jail there is still hope for your child education... In my interpretation, I think this is very good, even for the mothers whose children are here, because of even their own psychological well-being.  According to the article Day Care Center Opens for Kenya's Female Prisoners Because from time to time, as a mother, you want to be not here from your child for just a while, so you can also find time to think about your life, think about what really is going on, in you, even without this child," she said. "So it would be very healthy for the mothers to have their children just away for a whole five hours, five to eight hours a day, because I know children are growing up, and the women, among themselves, can deal with their own issues.”

This organization helps mothers who have sold drugs and so on. The information that I will use that I got from the website is help families who might have a love one may need to find a child a child care center to help mother get an education for their child. Helping each of the children’s and their families and building a positive relationship will help their child in the long run here are roughly 700 women incarcerated at Langat Women’s Prison and more than 45 children under the age of four who live there with their mothers. I feel this was a great idea to come up with an this organization have help many mother’s to get back on their feet. After they get used to this kind of surroundings, what happens when they get back to the society, where this may not be available? So this is something we have to deal with because clearly back home, or where they will go, if their mothers are still in prison, it may be very different from what we are exposing them to," Kuria said. This insight have open my eyes in a vital way an know that all children need good education inspire the issues their parents made be going through.

After reading I have gained so much information to add to my library the information will help me in a significant way. This organization is about parent in jail but still want their child to have an education as well. I was astonished to read that these parent want a better relationship with their child and a bright future.

I am continuing my research into the The World Vision Organization’s vision website.  After viewing the class work assignment our Professor asks us to focus on outside association and examine that region.  So, I followed a link National Children's Advocacy Center http://www. National Children's Advocacy Center

In 1985, Former Congressman Robert E. "Bud" Cramer (Alabama ), who was then District Attorney, organized an effort to create a better system to help abused children. As an educator I myself personally believe this a great resource to add to you library and I know it is a great resource for all educators, program director, children and their families. The NCAC models, promotes, and delivers excellence in child abuse response and prevention through service, education, and leadership. I enjoyed exploring this site and they have a lot to offer to educators children and their families.This organization is actual supportive. For example, this leader in the fight against child abuse began simply: a community who wanted a better way to help young victims of sexual abuse.I had gained new insights into the children’s’ lives and see how many of these children our effective by all this abuse that each experience.  The children have gone through great suffering and a lot of them experience so much psychological issues. As educators what can we do to better help these children that are being an abuse at a young age? I will wait for a respond.

Have a bless week!

Blog Assignment: Alternative Part 2

I would like to share three new insights from “Global Children’s Initiative” The first insight I have gain how that the Precisely; the global program will focus on three strategic areas: I learned how these strategies can have on the global program the first one I would like to share is how reframing the dialogue all over the place child health and development in the global course of action field by educating high-level decision-makers about the primary science of learning, behavior, and health, beginning in the earliest years of life; assistant state-of-the-art, multi-disciplinary research and demo projects to expand global understanding of how healthy development happens, how it can be ruined, and how to get it back on track; and building leadership capacity in child development research and policy—motivated on both persons and organizations—in low- and middle-income countries to increase the number and influence of diverse voices and outlooks that are backing to the growing international program on behalf of young children. I think that these are vital strategies for the “Global Children’s Initiative” That will have major impact. The second insight that I have gain was The Global Children’s Initiative has begun to build a portfolio of activities in three domains the first one is early childhood development; child mental health; and children in crisis and conflict situations.

The third thing insight that has caught my attention was as part of its Global Children’s Initiative,   I have learned the Center launched Núcleo Ciência Pela Infância, its first major programmatic effort outside the United States. In teamwork with native experts, this project aims to use the science of child health and development to guide stronger policies and larger investments to benefit young children and their families in Brazil. I have also learned how, these organizations engage in the following activities. Such has, Building a scientific agenda and community of scholars around early childhood development, Strengthening leadership around early childhood development through an executive leadership course for policymakers and Translating and become accustomed the Center’s in effect print and interactive program resources for a Brazilian audience. This article was very informative and I have gained so much insight that I can add to my resource
