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.
Tierra,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these agencies about early childhood, we as professionals need the support of others to help continue to make changes in our community, parents we service, and the lives of young children. I will keep these agencies in mind as continue my development as a early childhood professional.

ReplyDeleteI too think I would be drawn to be a part of the professional development team at the National Child Care Association. With new research in an ever growing field, it is crucial that providers are kept up to date with developmentally appropriate practices. Therefore they need trainings and attend conferences to receive these updates and to network. Through networking, they can build relationships and supports that strengthen them and their role in ECE. Thank you for sharing the information about these wonderful organizations.
