Research around the World on an International Level
 I have chosen to focus my attention on Australia as I have a very strong interest in their early childhood program and very curious how they tend to run and operate their programs and see if their is some similarity and difference and anything eles I find that catch my eyes. I noticed that some of the issues that this educator struggled with were also a concern that is heavy on my heart. They have had some huge concerns about more than a few investigations all resources on the Learning are produced by experienced professionals in early childhood and related fields. Our quality assurance process means that each resource is independently reviewed before being published. main concern is to make sure that each child is receiving the necessary, affordable and quality education as well as satisfying the families. I found out there are concerns regarding the budgeting and resources for the children and their families.
After carefully exploring this site I have discovered this organizations similar to National association  for young children , which is one of the leading, nationwide resources for early childhood that has great resources to offer to children, parents and educators. Their websites offer information to educators and families.  The institutions also value Integrity, Collaboration and maintain respectful and trusting relationships with others to support the achievement of positive outcomes for children and their families. I was inspired that they value and promote acceptance of diversity in our work and that of the broader community.
After exploring this website I can truly can say that our similarities surprised me, but I did find one difference that I would like to mention.  It seems to me that in Australia I thought that was very different from the US. I am not that aware of how the procedures and the history of Australia, but as I continue to explore more I will share with you more as I continue to do more research.  I am appreciative that organizations with the purpose of improving early childhood conditions exist worldwide.  I feel as an educator it will be through the worldwide group effort, net working with other early educators and media to continue to help and assist these children and families to become successful. That’s why research is so vital in the field of early childhood. I am so glad to be a part of this great movement.

  1. Hi Temika

    It seems that many countries have the same issues we have in the United States. I was happy to read that their website it very informative and you compared it to NAEYC. I can tell from your post that they care about education as much as we do in the United States. I agree with you research is vital to the professional and children in the early childhood field.
