The blog assignment this week has in addition to
other expected learning benefits opened my eyes to many associations and
organizations here in Turkey that by their nature, organization and vision will
be of great benefits to me as an early childhood educator. Among various early
childhood organizations, associations, governmental agencies and communities of
practice that I found the three that appealed to me most are:
1.
Association of Early Childhood
Intervention ((is EÇOMD)
http://www.ecomder.org/hakkinda.asp
This is a government backed association with the purpose of improving early
childhood intervention through research, support for professionals, creation
of awareness about issues in the field of early childhood education, and
research.
2.
OMEP Turkey. OMEP is an international,
non-governmental and non-profit organization concerned with all aspects of
early childhood education and care. It holds a consultative status with the
United Nations and UNESCO. The Turkey chapter is organized along this line by promoting
and defending the rights of every child to quality education and care as well
as supporting activities aim at improving access to quality early
childhood education and care by all children.
3.
Turkey Pre-School Education Development
Association: This is a non-governmental organization established for and
serving the purpose of improving preschool education through research aimed at revealing
problem and challenges in pre-schools.
As an early childhood educator one truth I hold so
dear and that always fuel my passion for the field is that childhood
development is vital to human development. The more early childhood is developed
and progressed, the more of progress and success that will be seen in the society. I choose these three associations because
they provide support, information and necessary assistance for practitioners and
other stakeholders in the field of early childhood education.
I love been with children and inspiring them to
develop high achievers qualities through learning activities that will bring
out the best in them and make free from prejudice. Therefore, the only job
opportunity that interest me is that of a classroom early childhood educator. Among
the skills that I need to be able to fulfill the role of an early childhood
classroom teacher are relevant academic qualification; ability to develop and
sustain strong working relationship; and ability to design and implement age
appropriate lessons and activities.
