The organization that I choose to receive newsletters and information was NAEYC.org. The website offers monthly newsletters to centers or programs that are accredited programs. The information that I receive monthly gives me an insight in to the changing rules and standards that are required by NAEYC. The newsletter also gives tips to centers or programs that are interested in being reaccredited with the organizations.
One current issue from the newsletter that I thought was interesting and insightful was the section that discussed programs that may assist or serve military families. The article discussed the many programs that are available for families and the centers. There is also free training that will assist programs with becoming more qualified to work with preschool aged children. These programs will assist the families with helping the young children that are having issues with their parents’ deployments and even reunifications. I feel that this training is desperately needed to assist all families with various issues. I can see or imagine the huge benefits that can be gained with this training program.
I also learned about different job openings that were available in this organization. I feel this is a great way to market and find new employees that are interested in early childhood education.
Erica,
ReplyDeleteI see that the NAEYC would be a very helpful site that school systems could use to help them become more qualified and work to meet the needs of all children. This site seems to be very helpful as it provides a great wealth of information that educators can use when working with children that have parents in the military. I look forward to learning more about the services that NAEYC offer and I enjoyed your post!
I also find NAEYC's website to be very helpful. I love that so many of these websites are user friendly and can give us a lot of information that we would possibly need. For example, the article you found on military families and deployment. I think this is important for teachers to be trained on because separation affects so many children.
