Sharing Web Resources

The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) http://www.naeyc.org  has an abundance of information in many diverse categories.

I do not receive a newsletter from this association. Most information located in a newsletter like dates of conferences, board issues, member issues and other information is posted on line.  What the association mails out to the members (also available electronically) send out a journal named Young Children. In this publication there are many useful articles to read about hot topics, the journal also has resources for parents to get assistance in different areas.  Some of which our discussion has been on equity for all.  I have referenced back to a journal that I received in 2009.  The Journal is filled with articles and resources for supporting and involving families in meaningful ways.  Having this information available is resourceful for the studies that I am studying in my education and to assist me in my teaching position as a professional.

As I am involved in different associations for my profession, I found that there is a spot that has all professional associations related to the education field on a list alphabetically and a live link so all I have to do is click to visit the sight.  Therefore, this gives me more resources to read if I need. NAEYC also has an annual conference that educator’s throughout the country meet and talk about such topics like equity and how the nation can resolve some of these hot issues. 

As I searched through the site, I didn’t find anything specifically on the information that we are talking about.  There were different links through the associations that I could find that information.  Inside past and present journals and publications available on line as a member, there was some interesting information that would relate to the subject of equity.

I believe that this certain website (NAYEC) is very resourceful because of the other links to other professional associations and other research to support what I am looking for.  I use this website in many areas of my life both professional and personal.
