Getting Ready—Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources


 

As of right now, I am still in the process of establishing professional contacts internationally. This weekend I talked with my sister who is a kindergarten teacher to see what if any relationships or contacts she may have or any of her co-workers or administrators may have with professionals in other parts of the world.  I have not established any contacts yet but will be making several attempts to do so in the next few days. My sister has not established any contacts but know other professionals who have. So I will be working closely with her and other professionals I know to gather information I need to begin communicating with professionals around the world.

   The process of selecting the early childhood organization is not easy. When making my selection I wanted to ensure that the organization and what it stands for is relevant to the early childhood field and that it goal is to ensure that children and their family needs are being meet. I also want to ensure that this organization will help me learn more about the field and provide valuable information that will help me as I develop in my educational career.  These are the websites I choose to review.

  1. Hi Teresa,
    My son took this class a few years ago. He is a special education teacher now. He is in the process of looking for his contacts and also asking his coworkers if they know any early childhood professional in another part of the world. Networking is a wonderful thing if it all works out. Good luck and hope you receive responses.
