 This course has taught me a great deal about the early childhood education. First, I  was overwhelmed by how many issues we as a class found to deal with in the ealry childhood education field.  I believe we could have  came up  with a book of issues that need to be dealt with. Second, I learned that  to accomplish a goal, you will need to look at many factors within the issue you have chosen.  For instance the issues history. I have never thought about learning about the history of something that I want  to solve. Third, I learned that there a many organizations that can aid in   helping a community of practice to accomplish solving a challenge it is working on.
 A long term goal I want to make is to continue working on my issue which was improving parent involvement within education. I believe that this issue  will continue into the future with all the changes we are looking toward in education.
 I want to THANK each and every one of you for  your input within the class. I got excellent feed back from all of you. I want to wish all a great and blessed life. 
 Here is my school email address I would love to stay in touch with you all. sdouglas@worthschools.net

 Thanks to Mrs. Ferrari for a great class expereince. I think the class went well as this was the first time the class was offered. I believe that this Masters program has broaden  my understanding  of diversity within our edcuation system. 

Organizations

 One organization I found very interesting was the World at Work website.  The site can be found at http://www.worldatwork.org . This site is a not- for -profit oragnaization that provides education, conferences and research focused on global resources. This site has a  job site link to which you post your resume for jobs around the world. I chose this site because I like the fact that it mentioned global resources. Some parts of the world do not have the same resources as others,  This site works  with edcuational leaders around the wprld to help provide quality education.

Another organization was the Parent Involvement Matters site. This site can be found at  http://www.parentinvolvementmatters.org .  This site emphasizes the importance of a child's social, emotional and intellectual learning and development. We all know that paretns must be a part of this development. This site also has a great get involved link that gives you ways to get involved with the organizarion. You can join the organization as a consultant if you work with families or schools.

 The third organization I chose was Unicef. The site can be found at http://unicef.org
 Unicef works hard to promote edcaution around the world and helps with nutrition and medcial needs of children and families.  There are job oppotunities within the unicef organization from volunterring to a Senior staff position around the world. You must summit a resume and a United Nations Personal History P11 and then email them to the unicef site. They have job opportunities around the globe and you chose where you would like to go.
