In the course, of early childhood education, "Issues and Trends in the Early Childhood Field", I will be establishing contact with two early childhood professionals outside the United States. The Global Alliance for the Education of Young Children provides an opportunity for early childhood associations from countries throughout the world to distribute materials and share information about programs and services in early childhood. So far, my assignment on establishing professional contacts have been challenging. (HELP!!) I have attempted to contact South Africa, China, Ghana, Singapore, Ireland, Romania, Spain, and the Philippines. but haven't been successful. Also, I'm seeking to establish contacts with early childhood professionals throught the World Forum, which is a foundation that promotes an on-going global exchange of ideas on the delivery of quality services for young children in diverse settings. Through this site, I have established an email account with one of the members, Bonnie, on her blog site. I'm hoping to receive information from her about services around the world concerning issues and trends in early childhood.
During this course, I will be gathering and exploring information from The National Association for the Education of Young Children and Zero to Three: National Center for Infants, Toddlers, and Families to help broaden my knowledge and understanding. Also, these organizations will keep me current on the issues and trends going on in the world today about early childhood.
