Wk 8 Final Blog Assignment

Three consequences of learning about the international early childhood field for my professional and personal development:

1). As a professional, learning about the international early childhood education, I really think that it is helpful to new experienced teachers in the EC Field. It can provide some extra help for those who need it and for all newcomers.

2). I also can use some information about the international early childhood field, to help strengthen the field with teachers that know what they are doing and to let the community know how important it is for a child to have a high and good learning experience.

3). When I visited some websites on the international early childhood field, I learned a lot of information that helped me in my Pre-K class. The pre-know website really helped me because the people updated their website every day

From my perspective there are so many resources and information that that international early childhood field provides for the Early Childhood Field teachers and professionals, who are interested in the field.
One quote for the field related to international awareness of issues and trends and the spirit of collegial relations:
"This state has put a lot of concentration on reforming the K-12 system, but we've done very little with early childhood education. We can't wait until they get to kindergarten because then we're just playing catch-up."
- Evelyn Keating

  1. I think that communicating with international contacts is a great way of taking in new information and learning about the real trends occurring in the early childhood field on a global scale. Your quote from Evelyn Keating sends a powerful message about how the early childhood years can crucially affect a child's education in the future.
