Farewell and Congrats!!!!

The journey to my Master’s has been a remarkable process of learning new things for me as an Early Childhood professional. One thing I learned from this program is to utilize various resources in my community to help with issues that may surface in the profession. I was able to see that actually researching and linking with organizations can give me key answers to things that I may endure in my future. Another thing I learned from this program is make sure that I recognize and am willing to change any biases, misconceptions, or stereotypes I may have gained and find ways to learn about the diverse group of people I encounter on a day to day basis. A final thing I learned is to may sure that I respect and encourage a welcoming environment in my classroom and to meet the goals they have for their children. I realize how important family partnerships can be for the child, family, and school environment. My long-term goal is to continue to redefine myself in the Early Childhood profession, to use the knowledge and skills I have obtained and apply them to any career I hold in the present or future.
I wish all my colleagues the best in their future. It has been such an amazing journey and I am glad to have shared who I am with everyone. You can keep in contact on my blog page or email tazmon01@gmail.com.
I wish everyone continued success and let’s continue to make a difference in children’s lives. Also big thanks to our instructor for helping mold and shape us into better Early Childhood professionals. We can and will continue to be a blessing to young children and families.

international roles/jobs

 The Division for Early Childhood, http://www.dec-sped.org/, is an organization I chose because it helps support young children with delays anf/or gifts and talents. It also works to provide best practices for families and promotes policies for support the children with delays. I did not see any job opportunities available. They do list career opportunities for other businesses in various states.
 The National Association of Early Childhood Teacher's is an organization I found. I geel that it could provide support to EC educators. I was unable to find current positions open by this organization. They do list job opportunities for other corporations on its site. I did notice an ideal position for me in the future as a Regional Representative. In this position you share insights and experiences, get answers to questions, and overall support were needed.
 A final organization I found is National Child Care Association. It works to provide policies that will help children and families with high quality care. I was again unable to find any positions open. If I could choose, I would be apart of the professional development team. I could help put together needed training for educators, help organize events and conferences, and extend my experiences were needed.
