For this weeks assignment I chose to use the UNICEF website to see what contacts I could make to professionals in other countries. I chose to contact Mexico, Costa Rica and Guatemala. I chose those three countries because I have been to all of them and have some general background knowledge of their educational system. I have not heard back from anyone, so I may need to reconsider what I am doing for this assignment.
I am a member of NAEYC but have not taken the time (recently) to look at their website. So, this week I did take the time to look over what was on there. I really like the "Family" section. I think it is a great resource for teachers to use when families have some tough issues to deal with or are wanting more information on a topic. I also appreciate that NAEYC has an accreditation tool to help families look for quality Early Childhood Programs in their area. It is so tough for parents to delve into the world of ECE that they need a tool to help them sift through all that is out there.
Thank you for sharing. I haven't heard back from the countries I e-mail either. I think I will give them until about Wednesday to respond. I am a NAEYC member also and am looking forward to your review of their site. Since, I work for a Child Care Resource and Referral agency I thought it would be helpful for work to review the Child Care Aware site.
