The newsletter link that I subscribed to is http://www.naeyc.org/resources/partnership/globalalliance. The name of the site is Global Alliance for The Education of Young Children. The organizations focus is share the excellence and quality of education outside of the United States. This organization share and communicate educational resources throughout the world with different associations that provide services and programs for members that participate. This site caught my attention because the organization work with different organizations of the education sector to assist in providing everything that educator’s will need to continue to provide the quality healthcare, education and resources to every child’s development from young childhood education to graduation. The trends that the website discussed that also caught my attention were that there are fewer children today in the United States that are living without both parents in the home. The site points out that children living with both parents in the home have better overall health, more resources, and less behavioral and psychological issues. I want to share that I learned that no matter where a child lives around the world that all can fall short of the care, nurturing and love that is needed for them to develop.
I love NAEYC. I have the book "Developmentally Appropriate Practice" which I use in my Child Development course. I didn't see a free newsletter link on the website. Did you have to pay to subscribe?
ReplyDeleteTammie,
ReplyDeleteI have frequented NAEYC website before and they do provide great resources for early childhood professionals, students, parents and the community. It was during one of my visits to their site that I learned about Walden University for which I am so grateful.
I have to be honest, I need to renew my subscription but hadn’t because there was a cost for membership. I was involved with the local chapter in Arizona (AEYC) and they are always involved with staying current on policy and changes that impact the quality and care of young children. The organization also provides wonderful opportunities for professional growth and development through conferences and workshops they offer in collaboration and partnership with our community college and other local affiliates. The local chapter is also instrumental in implementing our annual “Week of the Young Child” event which is held at our historical library. It is an amazing and free event that involves all centers, early childcare professionals, children and their families and involves the community.
Thanks for sharing your choice of professional website, it is a great choice.

Tammie,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great website. It is exciting to be able to look at everyone’s blogs and learn about different educational websites. I can appreciate any organization that is looking to educate parents and the community about healthy child development. Those were suspiring facts about children and their living situation. It is refreshing to know that all a child needs is to be loved and nurtured. We can only hope that is the case for all children. Thanks for sharing!
