The
early childhood organization that I selected at the beginning of this course is
The National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI) at hhtp://nbcdi.org/.
Because I have been navigating through this website, I am now able to expand my
inquiry. I have shared information regarding the website by way of answering
five questions aimed to address the resources this website offers.
1.
Follow some of the outside links that you
have not yet explored. Where do they lead? I clicked on the “Points of Proof” link and was very
impressed with the information that I found. The link provided a drop down menu
where I was able to select an organization, city/state, age of children, and
category. I live near Inglewood ,
California
2.
Thoroughly search one area of the site. What
do you find? At the top
right side of the website, I found an area that I have truly never paid attention to. It is titled, “T.E.A.C.H,
Shop, and Stay Connected”. I clicked on that area and the website offered an
opportunity for visitors to donate, join, sign-up for newsletters and alerts,
and shop.
3.
If you receive an e-newsletter, follow a link
related to one of the issues you have been studying. What new information is available?
Additionally, find out if the site you selected at the beginning of this course
offers any information about the issue of this week. Currently I am not receiving an e-newsletter, but took the
time to sign-up. This week, our focus of learning has been on excellence and equity
of care and education for children and families; specifically availability,
accessibility, and affordability. The website is full of resources. The website
offers information for organizations that work to ensure equal access.
4.
Does the website or the e-newsletter contain
any information that adds to your understanding of equity and excellence in early
care and education? The website is
full of resources. The website offers information for organizations that work
to ensure equal access. This is found specifically under the link, “Points of
Proof”.
5.
What other new insights about issues and
trends in the early childhood field did you gain this week from exploring the
website and/or the e-newsletter? A new insight that I gained this week from exploring the
website is that resources are available if one is serious about their work. I
also realized that these resources are free and can be shared with parents and
early childhood professionals.
