Connecting with professionals and groups in one's field offers a lot of benefits such as expansion of one's knowledge base and effectiveness. Through such connections one is also able to identify best practices.Learning from what others do is a valuable strategy for professional development in all fields.
I found the aims and purposes of the Global For Alliance for the Education of Young Children to be in line with the purpose of this week's blog assignment and I have written letters to six contact addresses of participating members from different continents apart from America. As at now I am yet to get a response from any. I sincerely hope I would get at least two favourable responses, otherwise, I might be considering the alternative option in the assignment.
For the second aspect of this week assignment which is the expansion of our resources in the field of early childhood education, I visited the website of National Black Child Development Institute. I have subscribed to the institute newsletter, updates, and alerts and might be applying for membership of the institute.
I also contacted a number of places and have only heard back from one to date. For what seems like such an interesting assignment it seems as though it will be a difficult one, since it is out of our hands. Best of Luck!
