Time Well Spent

Wow, time flies by when we are working hard. I am truly proud of myself and to have shared this experience with many of you great educators from all around the United States. As we leave and receive our degrees soon i want to let everyone know that i am truly grateful for this wonderful experience.

At least three deeply felt learning's from this program
I learned that i am becoming a great leader.
I learned that i did a great job with time management as this is was my first time getting a degree online,
I learned that using the correct educational resources are  helpful when done correctly.

At least one long-term goal

One long-term goal is to continue to be an advocate for early childhood education and continuing to get keep current on the trends and topics in early childhood education.

International

Jobs/Roles in the ECE field internationally

The organizations that most interest me are save the children, UNICEF and the Council for professional recognition, throughout these international organizations I will be able to become the leader that I want to become. These organizations are passionate about the well-being of others and promoting educator’s to become better professionals within the early childhood setting.

Save the children is an organization that helps save children across the country, one factor that stood out for me for their stated the organization save the children provides food, medical care and education and helps communities rebuild their communities from long-term recovery programs. This hit home for me because we need more organizations like these when tornados, or floods and hurricanes accrue and destroy our communities.

One job that interests me from the organization save the children is the Coordinator of Early Childhood although this position is located in West Virginia I feel that I would be a great fit for the job. I would families for the program develop and schedule program activities, including home visiting, parent/child groups and a lot of knowledge for infant/toddlers which is the area of my expertise.

UNICEF is an organization that keeps children from abuse and violence. UNICEF seems like a great organization to be a part of, if I had the choice I would like to be a part of their child protection unit. This job would require me to have knowledge in child development with three years of experience but fluent in French which is my downfall.

Lastly, the council for professional recognition also known as the CDA organization. Having a CDA (child development associate) is where educators begin if they can’t afford to go to college to receive an associates or bachelor’s degree but still has the passion to work with children. I feel as though I would be a great CDA advisor because I have the passion, dedication and a listening ear where I feel I could help educator’s to become more and find out where their passion lye. To become a CDA advisor I need the following a Bachelors with two years of experience in an early childhood setting and my CDA to be current(I need to update).
