6162 Final Blog Assignment


 


Three consequences of learning about the international early childhood field for your professional and personal development:

Learning about different international organizations and exploring their websites ignited my passion within the field!  Although much attention is needed in regards to issues that impact early childhood, it is beautiful and inspiring to see that people are coming together and working hard to make positive changes for children, families and the field worldwide.

Since taking this course and reading how much of an impact that different issues have on young children and families, I find myself more engaged with the topics covered in this course than I ever have been before.  By digging into the resources I have been exposed to issues on a more in-depth level, and that cultivated my desire to learn even more.

Learning about international early childhood issues made me reflect on the issues that we have in the United States.  I thought about what is being done and how many children and families it affects worldwide.  I have a deeper understanding of the fact that most issues are not isolated, but that they affect children and families everywhere.
 


One goal for the field related to international awareness of issues and trends and the spirit of collegial relations:

To continue to stay abreast of worldwide issues that impact young children, their families and the early childhood field, including seeking out and maintaining international early childhood professional relationships to use as a resource.

  1. Hello,

    I enjoyed your post. I agree that this course has made me be more observant to issues in America and, in a sense, compare and contrast international issues with ones that we have here. Although we allow girls to receive education, we are similar to many countries when it comes to poverty and the lack of proper resources provided to better this part of the population. This course has helped me open my eyes to a lot of issues and trends on a global spectrum and like you, I want to stay up-to-date on topics dealing with early childhood on a local and global perspective.

  2. Hi Jill,

    I thought it was great that we were able to learn about the different organizations that are serving around the world for children and families. I reviewed many and they all were interesting to me and allow me to have the desire to continue research on what each organization has to offer. I enjoyed reading you post and your work this course. I wish you the best luck on your journey throughout this program..
