The three
national and federal organizations that appeal to me are:
1. National Head Start Association
2. The National Child Care Association
3. National Association of Early
Childhood Specialists in State Departments of Education (NAECS-SDE)
The reason
the three organization appeal to me is because they share similar visions on ways
to provide children the opportunity to have early childhood learning
experiences. The first organization is the National Head Start Association goal
is the success of generations of children who might otherwise struggle
throughout their lives. NHSA has created the NHSA Knowledge Center to
facilitate our vision of reaching the most vulnerable children with the Head Start
model. Their future success rests on the knowledge, commitment and
collaboration of families, programs, researchers, and policymakers.
I would love
to work for the NHSA as an advocate for quality early childhood education and
support for families. I have a personal passion for this organization because
it has made a positive impact in my family’s life when I need support at my
lowest life struggle. I believe in this organization but I feel I would be able
to empower others that do not really understand how excellent this organization
is for the children and families in our communities.
The next
organization that I would add to my community of practice is the National Child
Care Association(NCCA) because it supports policies that are beneficial to children,
believes there should be equal participation with regard to funding for all
providers of Early Care and Education Birth through 5, regulations should be
equitable, across the board, for all providers, public or private and right to
work environment for early care and education professionals. I know that many
times this issues are not addressed in the appropriate manner which causes
children that need childcare are not be served and professional are not getting
the support they need to ensure they have the education needed to teach
children. I know that educators need the appropriate educations to provide
services for the children but it will take supporters and people that
understand and share that vision as I do.
The third
organization I would like to have in my community of practice is National Association
of Early childhood Specialist in the State Department of Education (NAECS-SDE) which also
promotes high quality services to young children and their families through
improvement of instruction, curriculum, and administration programs. They work
with others to share ideas and suggestions to find solutions to common problems
that occur in the early childhood field. I would like to work for this organization
because I am very familiar with trying to create strategies and ideas of how to
better serve the children in our community.

Hi Sheila,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post and the learning of the organizations you have chosen to share. In particular, I was interested in the National Child Care Association. Their mission to fight on behalf of children, families and educators is imperative. I especially identified with the statement made regarding teachers are not getting support needed to ensure they have the education and training needed to teach. This is an important factor and if we are to advocate for children and prepare them for the next years of learning then adequate training and finding is needed to prepare professionals. Great post!
Hi Sheila,
ReplyDeleteGood post. You have chosen some very interesting organizations. It is always good to give information about an organization that has personally impacted your life. That was great for you to share. that. I look forward to reading more about the organization. Also I like that you said it will take supporters to help educators get the education they need to help the children. This is so true we as educators must have what is necessary to help children learn and grow. This is part of the passion that I have for educators. I want them to be culturally responsive teachers, and I understand that it is going to take supporters to help them get the education they need. Thanks for sharing.
