Jobs in the Early Childhood Education Community
The three national/federal organization or communities of
practice that appeal to me are Children International, NEA (National Education
Association) and US Department of Education.
Children International appealed to me because they have four
key outcomes for children to be healthy, educated, empowered and employed. CI believes knowledge is power when it comes
to staying health which is done by developing healthy habits and connecting
children with services when they need help.
In the area of education, donations are used to support the education of
children in secondary school.
Empowerment programs guides children in their program to build
leadership and team qualities. Finally,
employment teaching children some of the basic skill of completing an application,
developing a resume, along with mock interview training. These skills are encouraged to develop
workplace and technical skills in teen that could potentially change their
lives.
NEA (National Education Association) The information that
attracted me to NEA was the documentation about families working together with
teacher for student success. The web
site provides parents with helpful tips that encourage them to work with along
with teachers.
US Department of Education made me realize I should do a
better job at following new laws about education. I was not aware that President Obama signed
an update law on December 10, 2015 that focused on the clear goal of fully
preparing all students for success in college careers.
