Three consequences of learning about the international early childhood field would be: knowing where and how to research and find organizations related to international education, the understanding that many other countries are also facing the same trends and issues found here in the United States, and that keeping abreast with various organizations and their programs could lead to those programs being implemented within our own country as a way to improve quality and teaching.
One goal for the education field would be to advocate for children, families, and early childhood professionals. In doing so, making society aware of what is happening globally and taking all of "what is working" and adapt and implement for all parts of the world.
Thank you to everyone who has shared information about the early childhood field in other countries. I enjoyed reading your posts. Good luck in future courses.
I agree with your consequence of knowing where and how to research and find organizations related to international education. Prior to this course I often found myself overwhelmed when searching the internet to find information regarding international education. It's difficult enough to find information about our own country because there is so much out there to sift through. Now, through this course, I have learned about some major organizations who are credible and provide links to several other international organizations. I am thankful for the valuable resources! Great reading your posts this course, see you next time!
ReplyDeleteI find it comforting to know that early childhood professionals all over the world are working toward the same goal of nurturing and of educating our young children in the safest, healthiest, and most developmentally appropriate settings. Thank you for contributing to that sense of connectedness through your blog.
