The wonderful web resource that I am sharing is the National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI) located at https://www.nbcdi.org/
What Did I Find On the Website?
The institute’s website
offers their voice and resources to support care, education, and health of
black children and their families. Specifically you can find information
regarding Policy, Early Care and Education, Health and Wellness, Family
Engagement, Literacy and Child Welfare.
What Caught My Attention This Week?
Last week I focused on the identifying
who NBCDI is (their mission and vision). This week, I began exploration of the
information regarding policy. What I learned is that the following should be
the questions that should drive the public policy agendas of every early
childhood professional:
1.
Is this good for
Black children and families?
2.
If yes, how can
we support it?
3.
If not, how can
we make it better?
Those were ahas for
me as those questions should drive the heart of what I do. Asking myself those questions as an early
childhood professional will help me to respond the changing demographics and
diversity that presents us today. In order to support this issue and trend, we
have to make the best decisions to support every child; considering language,
culture, ethnicity, and all other differences.
