I decided to contact two individuals in order to expand my resources internationally. One of the professionals is from the United Kingdom and the other is in Chile. I will happily share if I hear back from them. I like the idea of communicating with other early childhood professionals in other parts of the world. How exciting!
The website and newsletter I decided to follow is the National Black Child Development Institute. This organization has a local chapter in my city and I have seen literature at my local library about events the organization participated in. The Detroit chapter president is also a director for NBCDI. The website list initiatives in literacy, education, health and nutrition that I am excited to learn about.

I too like the idea of communicating with international early childhood professionals, although I had reservations about trying to make contact. It is refreshing to see that you are so enthusiastic it too!
ReplyDeleteI too am excited about the opportunity of communicating with others in this field internationally. I have not had much luck though in regards to getting any repsonse back. Hopefully we can all help each other with this process in making those connections.
ReplyDeleteI chose the alternative assignment, after I did not hear back from the individuals I tried to contact. I hope you have better luck and look forward to hearing about what you learn from them.
