Part 1: Establishing Professional Contacts
I have currently sent emails to both the OMEP Ireland and the UNICEF Australia. I am still waiting for replies. However, I saw that a colleague put out a request on a Facebook page, which is a wonderful idea and one that I will try out! Also, I have thought about putting in an email to my previous school California State University, Fresno where I received my BA in Psych and started my MA in ECE. I know of a few professors that have lived in other countries to study the Early Childhood field.
If none of these work out, I'm glad that we do have an alternative project that we can participate in. This seems like an interesting assignment. I am always excited to learn about other countries and cultures, especially when it comes to the Early Childhood Education field.
Part 2: Expanding Resources
For this part to the assignment, I have found it hard to pick just one website. I started out with Zero to Three and subscribed to their newsletter. However, it said that it would not send one out until the first of next month. So then I moved on to the National Head Start Association page. I did not find a newsletter to subscribed to, but they did have a blog feed! I have added it to my RSS feed in the hopes to not only gain information, but to share the link with others at Walden University. Furthermore, I subscribed to Early Childhood Australia in the hopes that the contact from the UNICEF Australia works out.
Yet, I was drawn to an old love of mine, Reggio Emilia. I'm not sure if I can use that as my website but it is a wonderful resource to share about with others in our field.
