Three
national/federal organizations or communities of practice that appeal to me are:
1. Association for Early Learning
Leaders
2. National Childcare Association
3. National Association of Early
Childhood Educators (NAECTE)
I selected
these organizations because their mission and vision in the early childhood education
field is a reflection of my personal and professional mission and vision which
is to be equipped with knowledge, skills, and best practices to ensure quality
child care programs for young children. Most importunately to not withhold effectiveness
but to share with early childhood educators.
A job
opportunity that interests me within these organizations is the role of an
early childhood professional developer.
In order to
fulfill that role, I must possess the following skills and experiences:
- Is knowledgeable and
experienced in early childhood best
practices.
- Is passionate about
early childhood education.
- Is able to create
and present in-field training sessions to support early childhood educators
- Has in-depth
knowledge of education best practices and extensive experience with
various assessments and curricula.
- Certified in the
early childhood field.
