For Part one of this week’s blog assignment, my first step
was to choose a place that also spoke English so we would be able to
effectively communicate. I chose England
and Australia as I know those two definitely speak English. I started my search by searching England
Early Childhood Associations. I then
found the British Association of Early Childhood Education. I looked around to see if I could contact
their staff or board by email and was unable to find anything but the general
contact us page. I searched through
their trainers and found several of them so I then goggled by their names. I found several that had their own websites. I have contacted two of them and now am
waiting to hear back from them. The
second place I searched was Early Childhood Australia. I have also contacted two people with this
organization.
For part two of this blog, the organization I chose to study
was Early Childhood Australia. The first thing that caught my eye was all the
resources and articles they have available.
It reminds me of NAEYC. I also
figure that since I will hopefully be using someone from there for my contacts
it would make sense to use that site as my research topic.
I am really looking forward to learning about other places
around the world and how they are committed to the field of early childhood.
