This is a great link because it has information about all aspects of teaching and where teachers can receive training, help with college tuition, community support, etc. The link that I liked is the community support. Through this link you are connected with others so that you can discuss and experience issues that children and their families have around your area. There are workshops, classes, and additional sites to explore if help is needed.
I felt like this site was great in developing equity because it allowed teachers to understand what children and their families might be going through in different communities. I think that we can get comfortable within our teaching environment and we don’t realize what else is going on outside. I know that has happened to me and it is important for me to be able to reach out to those that are in need and help if needed and have the resources to do that.
Other information that this site has is information about licensure and certification. This is a must for any educator so that we will know the rules of the game. At any time we have to know what changes are being made so that we can make the appropriate adjustments. This will allow us to build classes that are efficient and that provide quality care.

Hi DeWana,
ReplyDeleteI agree that the community support option is a great idea! Sometimes it helps to connect with another teacher, outside of your own workplace, and vent a little or share ideas.
Great post DeWana.
ReplyDeleteSupporting each other is important if all early childhood educators are to excel at what they do. No-one knows everything and it is good to know that there is a forum available for open discussion and additional resources.
Thank you for sharing this information. The NC Institute for Early Childhood Professional development is an organization and site that I was unfamiliar with, until now. I agree that it is important to support each other as well as the children and families we work with.
