Final Post for issues and Trends



Professional growth and development is what keeps us abreast and current with issues and trends with the early childhood education field. Three consequences that I believe learning about the international early childhood field in regard to professional and personal development are as follows:
1.      Places me in a position where are am more knowledgeable about worldly issues

2.      It can place me in a collaborative position to use my education and experience to help advocate and share my time and commitment to the field with other educators and children from different part of the world

3.       Connecting with international agencies or programs will educate me on some positive innovative ways to improve educational opportunities here in the United States 
   
One goal that I have as far as collegial relations and international awareness is to be able to
actually someday work outside the United States to experience early childhood education
another country. Building relationships with others from around the world will make me 
informed, well rounded professional. Who is willing to share my knowledge with others and 
from other early childhood educators outside of the United States.

  1. Hi Tanya,

    I agree with your statement in regards to connecting to international agencies or programs will assist in providing education on innovative ways to improve educational opportunities in the U.S. It is important to be aware of issues and trends within the global context. There are many good practices being applied to the field from around the world that could be implemented in own programs or within our local communities and perhaps at a national level. I wish you well with your efforts of working outside of the U.S.

  2. Tanya,
    That is a great goal to one day work outside the country. This class also gave me inspiration to visit and volunteer in other countries to gain a better understanding and knowledge of practices being used. It will be a while before I can do this, but hopefully through connecting with professionals in other countries and those who have been able to volunteer I can still learn. You are correct in saying this will make us informed and well-rounded professionals. Good luck with your goal.

  3. Hi Tanya,
    I agree with your statement that by making connections with international agencies or programs on can become educated on innovative ways to improve children's educational opportunities. This is a reason why one of my goals is to continue to try to forge a relationship with an international professional.
    I hope that you will one day fulfill your desire to work or volunteer outside the U.S. especially in Jamaica :). All the best in your future endeavours.
