I have been corresponding with two
different websites.
Save the Children, http://www.savethechildren.org/site/c.8rKLIXMGIpI4E/b.6115947/k.8D6E/Official_Site.htm
Save
the Children is the leading independent organization creating lasting change in
the lives of children in need in the United States and around the world.
Recognized for our commitment to accountability, innovation and collaboration,
our work takes us into the heart of communities, where we help children and
families help themselves. We work with other organizations, governments,
non-profits and a variety of local partners while maintaining our own
independence without political agenda or religious orientation.
As
quickly and as effectively as Save the Children responds to tsunamis and civil
conflict, it works to resolve the ongoing struggles children face every day —
poverty, hunger, illiteracy and disease — and replaces them with hope for the
future.
I have
always supported this association. Save
the Children has sponsored many trainings that I have been invited and involved
with. Actually they are the first
association that I joined as a professional.
Save the children does so much for children and families world wide for
their growth and development. Save the Children is transforming children’s
lives by providing families and communities with the tools they need to break
the cycle of poverty.
National Association for the Education of
Young Children
The National Association for the Education of Young
Children (NAEYC) is the
world's largest organization working on behalf of young children with nearly
80,000 members, a national network of more than 300 state and local Affiliates,
and a growing global alliance of like-minded organizations.
What I
have got from both of these associations is great knowledge on different ways
to grow as a professional. There are
many resources that I have access to by being a member.
I will
continue to access these websites and correspond with those that I know in
these associations. I do correspond on a
state level with members. I am on a
planning committee with these local committees to plan the state wide
Professional Development Conference.
I just
know that there are many resources out there for all of us to use. Being able to create the relationship I did
with these two sites has been a growing
experience.
I hope
to see you all in future classes. I have learned so much
from all of you.
Here I am posting on my own blog. I forgot to say how much these two site are assisting me in achieving my goals. Here are my goals that I would like to achieve:
ReplyDeleteTransform myself to be a great leader and teacher to children and adults.
Empower families and children to love learning and to want to be lifelong learners.
To gain knowledge to share with others to create respect that each person is an individual and that they each have great gifts to offer no matter what their age is.
Thank you for sharing information from both websites. I plan to use NAEYC as a valued resource in my career. I am alsomore interested in continuing to learn about Save the Children. Best wishes on achieving your goals!
