EDUC 6990- Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

 


As my Capstone project focuses on fostering awareness and support for inclusion, I researched international organizations that will provide resources, research, and funding opportunities to promote my community of practice's goals and mission.


The first organization is The Early Childhood Development Task Force (ECDtf). The mission of the ECDtf is to empowering the lives of young children with diverse abilities and their families by providing high-quality inclusion programs around the world (http://ecdtf.org/, n.d.).


Another international organization is The Inclusive Education Initiative (IEI). This organization is a multi-donor trust fund supervised by the world bank (worldband.org, n.d.). IEI devotes in knowledge and resources to support inclusion around the globe (worldband.org, n.d.). Also, IEI focuses on promoting stakeholders and governments to fund and develop programs to support inclusion (worldband.org, n.d.).


Lastly, the International Early Childhood Inclusion Institute. This organization focuses on updated research, resources, and models that foster inclusive policy, empowering professional educators through knowledge-based studies and opportunities to meet and collaborate toward a shared mission to improve the lives of young children with special needs (https://inclusioninstitute.fpg.unc.edu/, n.d.).


As I reflect upon my research and as a social activist, finding organizations that promote inclusion is essential. It could provide me with access to resources and funds to support and expand my community of practice.


Focusing on the resources I found, I did not found any job opportunities. However, I would love to have worked at the International Early Childhood Inclusion Institute. As this organization focuses on the latest research-based study about young children with special needs, I could serve as an inclusion agent. I could access vital research and resources, work closely with educators, provide professional growth opportunities, access and coach teachers at their sights. For that position, I would need to have a passion, dedication, professional knowledge of early childhood education, and experience with working with young children with diverse abilities and their families.

    Ilana, I am very intrigued to learn more about the Early Childhood Inclusion Institute and its studies on children with special needs. It is amazing on how much organizations such as the Early Childhood Inclusion Institute are analyzing and researching ways to give children with special needs a productive life. I would love to be apart of their team. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi everyone, My name is Jennifer from New Jersey , I saw comments from people who had already got their loan from Anderson Loan Finance. Honestly, I thought it was a scam, and then I decided to make a request based on their recommendations. A few days ago, I confirmed in my personal bank account amounting to $15,000 dollars which I applied for. This is really a good news and I am so very happy that I advise all those who need a real loan and who are sure to reimburse to apply through their email (text or call) +1 719 629 0982. There are sincere loan lenders! They are capable to lend you a loan. Contact Mr Anderson E-mail: andersonraymondloanfinance@gmail.com

EDUC- 6164: My family Culture

Image
  I have to admit that it took me some time to decide which three items will represent my culture’s best. I thought of the three attributes that describe my culture: Jewish and Sephardic descent, which means that I am part of a generation of people who originated in North Africa. The first item: I chose a small plate and a cup that is sentimental to me. The cup indicates a religious ritual of tasting wine after a blessing to honor the “Shabbat,” which is the Seventh Day of the Hebrew week.   The second item: Is a” Haggadah,” which is a book that describes the story of the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and includes chants and blessings. The Hagadah was custom-made and had memorable personal pictures of my nuclear family that captured many special moments throughout the years. The last item: Is a crown made out of precious stones and is kept in my family for generations. The crown is worn by a bride to be in a traditional ceremony called the “Henna” ceremony, which ...

EDUC 6358: Reflecting on Learning

  According to Derman-Sparks (2010), learning about culture and fairness involves two aspects. The first is fostering a positive cultural identity to the children and introducing them to their peers' cultures through respectful interactions (Derman-Spark, 2010, p.55). As I learned the vital role a professional educator in an anti-bias classroom has, I wish that each early childhood classroom worldwide will implement an anti-bias curriculum. Teachers should expand their competencies and experience in working in a diverse environment where each child and his/her family will feel included, welcome and visible (Derman-Spraks, 2010). In my anti-bias classroom, I will support my student's emotional growth and foster positive social identity and pride in their cultural background and heritage ( Derman-Spraks, 2010). Children will be encouraged to ask questions, speak about their differences freely, and get my guidance and support to promote empathy and fairness among our classroom...

My Connections to Play

Image
Pictures of essential play items for my younger self:                   Quotes that I feel summarize what play represented for me in childhood:   I feel that when I was growing up, our teachers and the grown-up in my life supported and encouraged our play. For instance, the curriculum in Early Childhood was mainly focused on providing children with “Natural play experience”, Wardle (n.d.).There was no rush for fostering academic studies, rather than allowing us to explore early literacy skills and numbers through play, and instilling phonological awareness through rhymes and music. I have vivid memories of myself as a young child playing and interacting with my teacher, as she took an active role in our play rather than observing only our play and learning process. The same was with my parents that encouraged us to play with our friends and played with us mainly outdoors. In my opinion, there is a huge gap betwe...
