To begin establishing professional
contacts early childhood professionals I referred the blog resource pages. My initial instinct was to contact my sister
who is also an early childhood professional who is currently stationed in
Korea. I emailed her to see if she could
help connect me to some professionals that work at the military child
development center. I also emailed
several early childhood professionals listed on the research page. I went onto The Global Alliance of NAEYC and
e-mailed several professionals that were listed. I e-mailed Jane Lim from Association for
Early childhood Education, Blesilda Rios from the center for Early Childhood
Care & Development, Juan Sanchez from World Association of Early childhood
Educators, Yvonne Dionne from Canadian Child Care Federation, and Dominique
Hudicourt from Step by Step Program/ Tipa Tipa.
I have not yet had a response from anyone that I e-mailed. My plan is to call NAEYC directly to see if
they can refer me to some professionals I can make contact with or use the alternate
choice for the blog assignment.
I
decided to study and find out more information about PEW Charitable
Trusts. I subscribed to their newsletter
to find out information. I chose this organization
because I have had the most experience working with preschool age
children. I also chose to find out more
information about National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators
because most of my early childhood jobs have followed standards set by NAEYC. Lastly, I subscribed to Zero to Three because
to find out more information because I work as a training specialist and
support children and families in my program about children’s development.
Daphine,
ReplyDeleteI also chose Dominique Hudicourt form Haiti. I would love to connect with her to discuss their early childhood program.
I chose zero the three, and their newsletter also. I trained under zero to three PACAN and will be doing their training next week: Cradling Literacy: infant to three
Daphine,
ReplyDeleteThat is very clever to call the agency yourself. It is nothing like talking to a person. I will do that with the agency I am trying to reach. I have not heard from anyone either.
I decided to explore Harlem's Children's Zone. Before we moved to Rochester N.Y. I lived in that area. Best of luck.

Daphine,
ReplyDeleteI think its great!!! how you took the extra steps in contacting a family member who is also a ECE professional stationed in Korea and might be able to share valuable information in ECE and issues that effect children in that region.
Daphine,
ReplyDeleteI too tried to reach out to Yvonne Dionne, but always received emails back (I tried two different ones that I had found). I like your idea of calling the NAEYC directly for help. Please keep us updated if this helped!
