Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources

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.

  2. I 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.

  3. I 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.
