The following is the website for the National
Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). I have used
this organization for much of my studies at Walden. It has helped to keep me
informed of new information concerning early childhood. NAEYC has
also provided me with needed resources and gives opportunities to build
networks among colleagues. It also offers learning and research
opportunities. A position that I would be interested posted on this site is Regional
Technical Assistance and Special Projects Manager. I will meet all the
qualifications when I obtain my M.S. in Early Childhood Education.

Division for Early Childhood (DEC) is an
international organization that specializes in early childhood with a focus on
children that have special needs. Within this organization you have
research opportunities, professional development, leaders, students, and
policies. There is also a discussion forum to participate in. The
position that I would be most interested in with this organization is Specialty
Set: Initial Early Childhood and Early Intervention Special Education. For this
position I will meet all the qualifications when I obtain my M.S. in Early
Childhood Education.

The Children’s
Defense Fund. The mission of the Children’s Defense Fund is, “to ensure every
child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start, and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to
adulthood with the help of caring families and communities” (Children’s Defense
Fund, 2012). There weren’t any positions open that interest
me.

Catherine,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you found positions that interest you - and the requirement of having MS is no longer an issue - doesn't that feel great?!

Catherine,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post. You have chosen some wonderful resources that I feel any early childhood educator should know about. I really enjoyed exploring The Children's Defense Fund website and they have become a primary resource in helping me develop my action plan for my challenge.
Catherine,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading the information on the DEC website. I would love to work with them in some capacity.
