Over the course of eight weeks, I have listened to podcast of international ECE professionals, visited webpages, and read articles that have given me an insight on Early Childhood Education around the world. From these various sources I have gained insight into the lives and education of young children. Professionally I have learned that many countries value Early Care and Education, implement similar curriculum, rally for children's right and the funds to benefit these programs. Personally I have learned that one will learn to be thankful and appreciative of the small things in life, once you have been given a glimpse into the lives of others around the country and even in your own community.
If I could set one goal for in relation to international awareness and collegial relations, it would be to stay abreast of international Early Childhood news. This goal can be achieved by making an effort to personally contact international ECE professionals or via the methods I have used throughout this course.
LaQuasia,
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way, i always wanted to see how children learn in other countries, I even thought about doing a program for teacher exchange. But, then I had children. Hopefully one day I will still get the chance. Reading the articles gave me an interst to do more research.
Thank you for sharing wish all the best.

LaQuasia,
ReplyDeleteWe do sometimes forget about the little things, or we end up taking them for granted. I also plan on making an effort to stay in contact with my international professional, I haven't heard from her in a while, but I am hoping to hear back from her again. It was great working with you in class, and I look forward to working with you in the future.
