• At least three national/federal organizations or communities of practice that appealed to you and why you chose them
The three national/federal organizations or communities of practice that appealed to me are:
- National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) http://www.naeyc.org/- NAEYC's mission is to serve and act on behalf of the needs, rights and well-being of all young children with primary focus on the provision of educational and developmental services and resources.
- National Coalition for Parent Involvement (NCPIE)- The mission of the National Coalition for Parent Involvement is to advocate the involvement of parents and families in their children's education, and to foster relationships between home, school, and community to enhance the education of our entire nation's young people.
- Georgia Early Alliance for Ready Students (GEEARS) was created to promote school readiness for children from birth through age 5. This organization leverages strategies informed by research policy and practice our organization will enable success in school. GEEARS was created to help lead the charge to fill the great need in the state. Job opportunities (currently available or not) that interest you
The job opportunities that interest me are
- NAEYC Consultant- With this job I would be required to have a background in child development/Early childhood education to conduct a series of individual and group assessments of children in select Kindergarten and 1st grade classrooms. At minimum, assessors will be expected to 1) coordinate testing schedules with classroom teachers, 2) complete a total of 10 group assessments in classrooms across two schools, and 3) complete individual assessments for each child in four classrooms in the same two schools. There will be opportunity to conduct assessments at additional school sites, as assessor and site availability permits.
